Dell brought in four of seven targets for 54 yards in the Texans' 34-10 win over the Cowboys on Monday night. He also rushed once for four yards. Dell and the returning Nico Collins tied for the team lead in receiving yards and targets -- the latter with Dalton Schultz -- while checking in second in receptions. The second-year wideout now has at least four catches in four consecutive games, but he's only exceeded 50 receiving yards in two of those contests. However, Dell should continue benefiting from the defensive attention teams are forced to bestow on Collins when Houston hosts the Titans in Week 12.

Dell brought in four of seven targets for 54 yards in the Texans' 34-10 win over the Cowboys on Monday night. He also rushed once for four yards. Dell and the returning Nico Collins tied for the team lead in receiving yards and targets -- the latter with Dalton Schultz -- while checking in second in receptions. The second-year wideout now has at least four catches in four consecutive games, but he's only exceeded 50 receiving yards in two of those contests. However, Dell should continue benefiting from the defensive attention teams are forced to bestow on Collins when Houston hosts the Titans in Week 12.
Dell recorded five receptions on nine targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions. Dell had another game as the Texans' top pass-catching option with Nico Collins (hamstring) sidelined for another week. However, Dell failed to convert his opportunity, turning in a long reception of just 13 yards while also recording only one reception across the final two quarters. Overall, his disappointing season continued, as he's been held below 50 receiving yards in six of nine contests.
Dell (back) is listed as active for Sunday night's game against the Lions. Dell, who worked fully Wednesday and Thursday, approached the contest listed as questionable after being limited in practice Friday, but he'll be available to face Detroit, unlike fellow wideout Nico Collins (hamstring), who was activated off injured reserve Saturday but deemed inactive Sunday. In that context, barring any in-game setbacks or limitations, Dell should have an opportunity to remain a key cog in Houston's passing game in Week 10 while leading a WR corps that also includes Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods, John Metchie and Steven Sims.
Dell (back), who is questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit, is expected to play, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Dell popped up on the injury report Friday and logged a limited practice due to a back issue. While late-week additions to the injury report are often ominous, it appears Dell will be able to play through the injury. Fellow wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and could be active Sunday, so the Texans might have their top two receivers available for a crucial contest against the Lions. It's important to note, however, that the matchup takes place on Sunday Night Football and doesn't begin until 8:20 PM ET, so fantasy managers who roster Dell or Collins may want to have a backup plan in place since neither is 100 percent certain to play.
Dell (back) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game against the Lions after being limited in practice Friday. Dell wasn't on the Texans' injury report Wednesday or Thursday, so his addition Friday is notable. Meanwhile, fellow WR Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) was limited in his return to practice Friday and carries a questionable game status as well. Look for added context with regard to the duo's Week 10 availability to arrive no later than Saturday night or early Sunday via the usual posting of weekly injury updates from national reporters, but the Texans' 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff Sunday night complicates things from a fantasy perspective.
Dell secured six of nine targets for 126 yards in the Texans' 21-13 loss to the Jets on Thursday night. Dell was the last man standing of the Texans' top wideouts with Stefon Diggs (IR, knee) and Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) sidelined, and the second-year pro turned in a season-high yardage total. Dell also tied his personal best in targets for the campaign, and he should continue playing an integral role in a Week 10 interconference home showdown with the Lions on Sunday night, Nov. 10, even with Collins expected to return for that game.
Dell is expected to step into a larger role in the Texans' passing game Thursday against the Jets with Nico Collins (hamstring) set to remain out Week 9 and Stefon Diggs (knee) having been ruled out for the season, ESPN.com reports. Collins has already missed the Texans' past three games while residing on injured reserve, with Dell producing an 11-92-2 receiving line on 17 targets over that span. Diggs has drawn 23 targets over that same stretch, but after he suffered a season-ending ACL tear in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts, the door is open for Dell and fellow wideouts Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie as well as tight ends Dalton Schultz and Cade Stover to at least temporarily carve out more volume in the passing game. Collins is reportedly on track with his recovery from the hamstring strain and could be ready to come off IR when first eligible Week 10 to take back his usual duties as the Texans' No. 1 receiver, but Diggs' absence for the rest of the season should still guarantee Dell a fairy sizable role moving forward. Dell had thrived as a rookie last season as the top complement to Collins before breaking his leg in Week 13.
Dell secured all four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 23-20 win over the Colts on Sunday. Dell tied Dalton Schultz and Joe Mixon for second in receptions and finished third in receiving yards, but it took a seven-yard touchdown grab late in the second quarter to save the second-year wideout from a middling fantasy performance. Dell has scored both of his touchdowns on the campaign in the last three games, affording him some modest momentum heading into a Week 9 road matchup against the Jets on Thursday night.
Dell didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers. Dell was targeted in the end zone on consecutive plays on Houston's first drive, but the first went off his hands and he came down out of bounds with the second one, the latter of which didn't count due to a defensive offside. He ended up without a catch on three official first-half targets and was blanked on his only second-half target as C.J. Stroud threw for only 86 yards in an uncharacteristically shabby outing for Houston's entire passing game. Dell should continue to see additional opportunities as the Texans remain without star receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) against the Colts in Week 8.
