Huddle Up: Dell isn't worth drafting in most fantasy leagues at this point. If/when he is able to make his way back to the team he will have plenty of company in the receivers room. He hasn't played since the 2024 season, and he is making his way back from a major injury. He has a long way back to fantasy relevance.

Huddle Up: Stroud hasn't been able to replicate the numbers from his impressive rookie campaign, but if he is actually committed to running more, it would be a serious boost to his fantasy upside. It is a trend worth monitoring, but the potential alone doesn't make Stroud worth reaching for. He remains a midrange QB2.

Huddle Up: Boutte will likely take Jayden Higgins' role in the offense this season and is coming off a productive 2025 season. He should see a handful of targets each game and can be a late round pick in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Boutte has been on the trade block this offseason and should be a target for the Texans after they lost Jayden Higgins. Boutte would like be a top-three receiver for the Texans if he is acquired and could be a late round pick in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Marks topped 900 yards from scrimmage as a rookie, but the offseason addition of David Montgomery likely relegates Marks to a backup role. He will probably need Montgomery to miss time or struggle in order to see enough touches to be a fantasy starter, but Marks should still be stashed as a handcuff.

Huddle Up: Houston's 2025 season ended with a disastrous outing from Stroud in the playoffs, and overall, he simply hasn't been able to match his performance from his rookie season. A return to form is possible, but it is best to view Stroud as a midrange QB2 heading into 2026.

Huddle Up: Higgins was set to have a solid role in the passing game this upcoming season, but Tank Dell and Jaylin Noel will likely take over his targets during the season. Dell is coming back from a serious knee injury but was productive before the injury and can be a late round pick if he rejoins the starting lineup. Noel could be an option in some deeper leagues but will not be a starting fantasy option.

Huddle Up: Dell will be a lottery ticket WR4 or WR5 after missing the entire 2025 season. He had a 51-667-3 line in 14 games in 2024 and has yet to play a full season.

Huddle Up: Boutte has been rumored to be on the block for a while, so fantasy players will need to continue to monitor the situation. He has posted solid numbers recently and can be at least a No. 3 receiver for most teams. He can be a late round pick in draft if he remains with the Patriots but could have more value if he joins another team.

Huddle Up: Dell has a long way to climb to get back to fantasy relevancy in 2026, if he can stay healthy. He has plenty of competition in the receivers' room with Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins likely atop the depth chart, with Xavier Hutchinson and Jaylin Noel also looking for targets. Dell is more of a wait-and-see fantasy option, but it's a success for him to get back on the field after missing the entirety of the 2025 season with a complete knee tear, including all three major knee ligaments, meniscus damage, and a dislocated kneecap. Dell is a potential waiver wire add during the season if he shows any flash of his pre-injury talent for the Texans and is able to get significant playing time.

Huddle Up: The additions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs will push Boutte down the pecking order, but he could still be used to stretch the field. While he could have trouble producing consistent results in that role, Boutte should still deliver on occasional big game and have value in best-ball formats thanks to his big-play ability.

Huddle Up: Collins is a top-tier WR1, and he'll go off the board as early as the end of Round 1, or early in Round 2, in most fantasy formats. There is nothing wrong with his health, and the Texans are simply making sure that he is healthy for training camp and the preseason.

Huddle Up: Boutte has dropped down the depth chart with the addition of A.J. Brown, so there is a good chance to start the 2026 season with another team. He was productive last season and can be a late round pick in fantasy leagues depending on his situation.

Huddle Up: Marks will have some value in PPR leagues, perhaps as an RB4 or flex fantasy option. He will apparently work in the return game, too, so fantasy managers in formats rewarding individual return yardage will want Marks on their radar, too. In standard play, spend a late-round draft pick on him, perhaps a little earlier as a handcuff for Montgomery.

Huddle Up: Noel is a speedster who showed flashes in a limited role as a rookie in 2025. If he takes over for Dell out of the slot, he could become a sleeper for the 2026 season and be an interesting WR3 or flex option in lineups.

Huddle Up: Marks compiled 911 yards from scrimmage and five touchdowns as a rookie last season, but after the offseason addition of David Montgomery, Marks will likely lose some work on early downs. Still, Marks should at least be a RB4 as the primary backup, and he could still have flex value in PPR leagues if he excels on third downs.

Huddle Up: Dell continues to make progress in his recovery and will likely be ready for the start of the regular season. He should be involved in the Texans passing game and could earn a starting role if he plays well. He can be a late round pick in fantasy leagues and could have fantasy value as the season goes on.

Huddle Up: Stroud saw a small drop in his numbers this past season but another year with Caley should help his game improve. He has good pass catchers to work with but will probably only be a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: With all of Houston's tight ends back to full health, Caley may use double and triple tight end formations more frequently, as well as split back formations involving RBs David Montgomery and Woody Marks. Schultz had a career-high 82 receptions in 2025 for 777 yards and three touchdowns while suiting up for all 17 games and can be viewed as a low-end TE1 or high-end TE2 option in most formats. Stover and Jordan may be worthy of consideration as late-round fliers in fantasy drafts.

Huddle Up: Stroud is still trying to recapture the magic from his rookie season, and his passing yards and passing touchdowns have actually declined in every year of his career. There is a chance that Stroud thrives in Caley's system in 2026, but he is best viewed as a midrange QB2 until he proves otherwise.

Huddle Up: Stroud missed a few games last season because of injury but did see a drop in his stats. The team probably want to see him perform in 2026 before considering a new contract. Stroud should be considered a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Dell could be in line to see plenty of targets in 2026, if he can stay healthy, but he has plenty of competition in the receivers' room. Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins are likely to be atop the depth chart, with Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Justin Watson also looking for targets. That's a lot of competition for Dell, so don't expect much. He is worth a late-round flyer, assuming he can tap into his pre-injury form. But, there are a lot of things which need to work in his favor for Dell to be anything more than a feel-good story and occasional contributor.

Huddle Up: Although Nico Collins is the unquestioned No. 1 option in the Houston passing attack, the No. 2 receiver role is up for grabs. It sounds like Noel is stating his case to claim the job, but Jayden Higgins and Tank Dell figure to be in the mix. The battle will be worth watching in training camp, but Noel's stock is trending up.

Huddle Up: Stroud's performance has gone in the wrong direction since his impressive rookie campaign, and while another year in the same system should help, Stroud's rookie season seems like the outlier at this point. Consider him a midrange QB2 with streaming potential in the right matchups.

Huddle Up: Montgomery is set to be the main piece in the backfield of the Texans in 2026. If he is a three-down running back, he could become a stable option as an RB2 in fantasy lineups. However, Woody Marks remains a potential vulture to his fantasy value, so training camp will be telling on how they plan to use them.

Huddle Up: Boutte has seen regular use in the Patriots' offense over the last two seasons, with 114 combined targets in that span. Unfortunately, that doesn't make him fantasy relevant, and even less so with the additions of A.J. Brown and Romeo Doubs. Right now, Boutte is just a depth receiver for the Patriots unless he's moved to another team, so he's not a draftable asset right now for fantasy football.

Huddle Up: The 24-year-old Boutte had 33 receptions for 551 yards and six touchdowns last season. He has the potential to be a top-three receiver for most NFL clubs if he is traded and could be a late-round selection in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Dell has not played since 2024 but should have a good chance to be ready for Week 1 this upcoming season. He will be one of the starting receivers when healthy and should see a decent amount of targets each game. He can be a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: The Patriots have added A.J. Brown, so there is a chance that they trade Boutte at some point before the 2026 season. He is coming off a good 2025 season and can be a top-three receiver for most teams. He will probably be a late round pick in most fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Higgins should be the No. 3 receiver for the Texans this upcoming season once Tank Dell returns to the lineup. He will likely see a handful of targets each game and can be a No. 4 or No. 5 receiver in fantasy leagues.
