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: 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: 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: 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: Dell did not play in the 2025 season because of his knee injury, so fantasy players will need to see what he can do during training camp. He played well before the injury and should be a top-three receiver for the Texans once he is cleared to play. He can be a No. 4 receiver in fantasy leagues if healthy.

Huddle Up: Dell could return to a prominent role in 2026 if he continues to progress, but he has a lot of company in the receivers room. Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins are expected to be the top two receivers, with Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Justin Watson also in the mix. That's a lot for Dell to overcome, but for now, depth chart competition isn't the biggest challenge, it's simply getting back to full health. If he can get to 100 percent, and at the level he was pre-injury, Dell could be a steal in the late rounds on draft day as a flex fantasy option. But, a lot has to break right to get to that point.

Huddle Up: Dell missed the entire 2025 season after an awful knee injury in Week 16 of 2024. He had a 51-667-3 line in 14 games that season and will turn 27 in October. He'll be worth a flyer as a WR4 in fantasy.

Huddle Up: While that's a feel-good story, the Texans have added a lot of young receivers to the mix since Dell went down. Nico Collins is a star, and the team has Jayden Higgins, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Justin Watson in the mix now. There doesn't look to be a lot of room for Dell, but if he can flash his pre-injury form, there might be a role for him in Houston, or possibly elsewhere. For fantasy purposes, he is strictly a wait-and-see guy at this point.

Huddle Up: Dell missed the entire season recovering from a knee injury, but he should be back in the mix in 2026. Whether or not he is still the speedy big-play threat he was prior to the injury remains to be seen, but Dell's upside will be worth taking a chance on as a WR4 or WR5.
