Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz ended up with a season-high five receptions for 33 yards on seven targets in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Huddle Up: Schultz has three or more receptions in four consecutive outings, and he has managed six or more targets in five of the previous seven contests. He has re-emerged as a borderline low-end TE1 or must-have TE2 in PPR leagues of 12 or more teams, with slightly lesser appear in standard play. The Texans host the Tennessee Titans in Week 12.

Houston Texans WR John Metchie ended up with three receptions for 33 yards on three targets in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Huddle Up: Metchie was third in the wide receiver pecking order with Nico Collins back after a five-game absence. As such, he should be treated as a low-end WR4 or flex fantasy option in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 12 against the Tennessee Titans.

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell ended up tied for team highs with four receptions, 54 yards and seven targets in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Huddle Up: Dell still had a pretty decent stat line despite the return of Nico Collins to the lineup. Both players had identical stat lines, right down to the target. There is plenty of ball to go around in Houston, and Dell can still be a solid WR3 or flex fantasy option in most leagues. The Texans host the hapless Tennessee Titans in Week 12.

Houston Texans WR Nico Collins returned to the lineup in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys, and he finished tied for team highs with four receptions, 54 yards and seven targets.
Huddle Up: Collins was playing his first game since Week 5, as he missed five games due to a hamstring injury. His stat line wasn't a giant one, but he did have a touchdown called back due to penalty which could have changed things. He'll look to get back into the end zone in Week 12 when the Texans host the lowly Tennessee Titans at NRG Stadium.

Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon ran 20 times for 109 yards and three touchdowns in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys, while posting two receptions for 44 yards on four targets.
Huddle Up: Looks like the Cincinnati Bengals might have made a mistake letting Mixon walk, right? Mixon has six 100-yard rushing performances this season, and he has scored in six consecutive games, posting nine rushing touchdowns and one receiving score, with 11 TDs overall. He has been a tremendous RB1 in all fantasy leagues, and he'll get a crack at the Tennessee Titans in Week 12 at NRG Stadium.

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 23-of-34 passes for 257 yards, no touchdowns and one interception in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys, while running three times for 26 yards.
Huddle Up: Stroud's most effective move was handing the ball to Joe Mixon, as the running back posted three rushing scores. Stroud has definitely taken a step back after a tremendous rookie campaign. He has just two touchdown passes across his past five games, and he has thrown for under 300 yards in six straight outings. He has looked more like a QB2 lately in most fantasy leagues. Next up is a home date with the Tennessee Titans.

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (hand) practiced in full for the third straight day on Saturday, Nov. 16, and was removed from the Week 11 injury report.
Huddle Up: Stroud is in the midst of a disappointing sophomore campaign, mostly because his offensive line can't protect him. Ranked as QB23 overall in fantasy points per game entering Week 11, Stroud is a shaky QB2, at best.
Posted 11/16/2024 9:24 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) practiced in full for the second straight day on Saturday, Nov. 16, and carries no designation for Week 11.
Huddle Up: After nearly playing last week, Collins is now officially going to make his return to the field. As was the case before his injury, Collins is a locked-in WR1.
Posted 11/15/2024 9:53 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 15.
Huddle Up: Collins needs to be activated from the Reserve/Injured, but he seems like he has a chance to play this week. Fantasy players should monitor the situation because Collins is a weekly starting fantasy option when healthy.
Posted 11/15/2024 9:52 pm GMT
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (hand) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 15.
Huddle Up: Stroud has been on a cold streak recently with only two passing touchdowns in the last four games. There is a good chance that he will be throwing to Nico Collins this week, which will help his fantasy value. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 quarterback in most leagues.
Posted 11/14/2024 10:27 pm GMT
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud (hand) practiced in full on Thursday, Nov. 14.
Huddle Up: Stroud is in the midst of a sophomore slump, but a lot of that has to do with the dreadful pass protection he's had to deal with. Ranked as QB23 overall in fantasy points per game, Stroud is barely on the QB2 radar entering Week 11, although he could see a boost with the return of Nico Collins.
Posted 11/14/2024 10:23 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was a limited participant in practice on Thursday, Nov. 14.
Huddle Up: Collins was activated off injured reserve last week but the team decided to give him another game. He is expected to make his return to action this week. Collins is a locked-in WR1 upon his return.
Posted 11/12/2024 8:53 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) is expected to practice all week and return to action in Week 11 versus the Dallas Cowboys.
Huddle Up: The Texans burned a fair amount of fantasy managers last week by activating Collins two days after they designated him to return, suggesting he would at least play on a limited basis in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions. They ultimately made him a game-time decision before declaring him inactive. Managers could be in for another round of getting burned since the Texans play on Monday, but a source suggests Collins is now "100% ready to go." Assuming he practices in full all week, Collins should be safe to trust as a high-end WR1 again in Week 11.
Posted 11/11/2024 4:52 am GMT
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell ended up with five receptions for 39 yards on a game-high nine targets in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions.
Huddle Up: Dell and John Metchie III were the top dogs in the Houston pass game, but Detroit really stiffened up on defense in the second half. Nico Collins was close to returning in Week 10, and when he makes it back, Dell and Metchie are certain to see fewer targets. Dell is still worth a look as a WR4 or flex fantasy option when Collins makes it back.
Posted 11/11/2024 4:50 am GMT
Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz ended up with three receptions for 66 yards on four targets in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions.
Huddle Up: The Lions are normally pretty tough on opposing tight ends, but Schultz had a couple of splash plays, including a 32-yard catch and run. He remains more of a TE2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 11 in Dallas on MNF.
Posted 11/11/2024 4:48 am GMT
Houston Texans WR John Metchie III racked up five receptions for a game-high 74 yards and a touchdown on six targets in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions.
Huddle Up: With Nico Collins still sidelined, and Stefon Diggs out for the season, Metchie and Tank Dell stepped up and were the top dogs in the Houston pass game. Metchie might be worth scooping up as a low-end WR4 or flex fantasy option going forward, but know that Collins is nearing a return, too.
Posted 11/11/2024 4:46 am GMT
Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon rushed 25 times for just 46 yards and a touchdown in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions, while adding two receptions for 44 yards on four targets.
Huddle Up: Mixon got off to a good start, including his first-half touchdown run. However, the Lions defense was suffocating in the second half, and Houston ended up going scoreless. Mixon and the Houston offense will look to rebound in Week 11 in Dallas on Monday night.
Posted 11/11/2024 4:43 am GMT
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 19-of-33 passes for 232 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions and he rushed once for five yards and he was sacked four times.
Huddle Up: Stroud has been under pressure due to some shaky line play, and he has just not been hitting on all cylinders like in his rookie. He hasn't been terrible, but he is more of a low-end QB1 or high-end QB2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 11 at Dallas next Monday night.
Posted 11/11/2024 12:06 am GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) has been declared inactive for the Week 10 game.
Huddle Up: Tank Dell will be the main option in the passing game this week with Collins still unavailable. Dell should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 11/10/2024 1:23 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) is considered a game-time decision for Week 10's game against the Detroit Lions.
Huddle Up: Collins had been listed as questionable on the injury report after logging just one limited practice session during the week. Although he has a great deal of upside as Houston's top receiving threat, Collins is a somewhat risky fantasy play this week because the Texans' game isn't until Sunday night and there is no guarantee that he will receive his regular workload after having spent the last four weeks on injured reserve. Owners should have a backup plan ready in case Collins is held out of action.
Posted 11/09/2024 9:24 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (back) is expected to play in Week 10 despite a questionable tag, per sources on Saturday, Nov. 9.
Huddle Up: Dell was the No. 1 wide receiver for the Texans last week with both Stefon Diggs (knee) and Nico Collins (hamstring) sidelined, but Collins might make his return this week. Even still, Dell should be in lineups and is a WR2 play.
Posted 11/08/2024 9:18 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (back) was limited at practice on Friday, Nov. 8, after practicing in full the two days prior and is questionable for Week 10.
Huddle Up: Dell was added to the injury report on Friday, which is never a good sign. The Texans might get a reinforcement this week, as Nico Collins (hamstring) has a chance to play after missing the last four games. Whether Collins plays or not, Dell is a solid WR2 play until further notice now that Stefon Diggs (knee) is out for the season.
Posted 11/08/2024 9:15 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was limited at practice on Friday, Nov. 8, after not practicing the two days prior and is questionable for Week 10.
Huddle Up: Collins took another step closer to returning to the field on Friday after he was designated to return from injured reserve, but he still has to be activated. If he plays, Collins should be in lineups as a WR1, although there would be concern for him having a limited workload in his first game back.
Posted 11/08/2024 5:00 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was designated to return from the Reserve/Injured list, the team announced Friday, Nov. 8. The Texans have 21 days to activate him.
Huddle Up: This is a bit of a surprise after Collins did not participate in any of the first two practices of the week. However, it's a good sign that Collins should return soon. If he's activated for Sunday's game, managers should express a bit of cautioun, but the matchup against the Detroit Lions makes him worthy of the risk.
Posted 11/07/2024 6:16 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) was not spotted at practice on Thursday, Nov. 7.
Huddle Up: Collins has not practiced since going on IR before the start of Week 6, so it seems highly unlikely fantasy managers will be able to get him back in their lineups for the team's Sunday night showdown against the Detroit Lions. Tank Dell will continue to lead the receiving corps that is also missing Stefon Diggs and one that did not fare well (outside of Dell) in Week 9 against the New York Jets. Collins is now no sure thing to return in Week 11 versus the Dallas Cowboys either.
Posted 11/06/2024 6:36 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) has passed all tests for his hamstring injury and is close to being designated to return from injured reserve, per sources on Wednesday, Nov. 6. The team is still determining whether or not he'll be activated in Week 10.
Huddle Up: With Stefon Diggs (knee) out for the season, Collins' return becomes even more important for Houston. But even if he's designated to return this week, that doesn't mean he'll play. That said, Collins is a locked-in WR1 once he's back on the field.
Posted 11/04/2024 8:55 pm GMT
Houston Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) will be monitored throughout the week in hopes of returning from the Reserve/Injured list, head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday, Nov. 4.
Huddle Up: The Texans will be cautious with the star wideout considering they will already miss Stefon Diggs (ACL) for the rest of the season. Once he does return, though, Collins is a locked-and-loaded WR1.
Posted 11/01/2024 5:52 am GMT
Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz had three catches (on six targets) for 21 yards in a Week 9 loss to the New York Jets.
Huddle Up: With Houston short-handed at receiver, this looked like a prime opportunity for Schultz to step up. He didn't. While his 78-808-8 season with Dallas in 2021 put him on the fantasy map, he's never come close to matching that production in two-plus seasons since. He holds no value outside of the deepest leagues.
