Free-agent WR Davion Davis was signed to the practice squad of the Houston Texans on Tuesday, Dec. 5.
Footballguys view: Undrafted out of Sam Houston State in 2019, Davis has bounced around the league. The Texans need more help at the position with Tank Dell out for the season. Davis has run-after-the-catch ability, but we're only keeping track of him in super crazy deep dynasty leagues. |

Houston Texans WR Nico Collins caught nine passes for 191 yards and one touchdown against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. He was targeted 12 times during the game.
Footballguys view: With Tank Dell sidelined and Noah Brown maybe not 100% yet despite playing, almost everything in the pass offense ran through Collins. He'll have his hands full against Sauce Gardner and the Jets next week, but needs to stay in lineups. |

Houston Texans RB Devin Singletary rushed for 36 yards on eight carries against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. He also caught one pass for four yards during the game.
Link to storyDevin Singletary player page
Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce rushed for 41 yards and one touchdown on 15 carries against the Denver Broncos in Week 13.
Footballguys view: Devin Singletary was more efficient, but the Texans went back to Pierce this week, including at the goal line. He's only a flex play at best, and most offense don't have good days against the Texans Week 14 opponent, the Jets, so Pierce is really only worth a pickup as injury/emergency depth at this point. Whether to keep Singletary depends on bench size and depth needs. |
Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud went 16-for-27 for 274 yards and one touchdown against the Denver Broncos in Week 13. He also rushed for 11 yards on six carries during the game.
Footballguys view: The Broncos defense is for real after having 70 points hung on them by Miami earlier this season. Stroud was contained except on big passes downfield to Nico Collins and he lost Tank Dell during this game. With the pesky Jets defense up next, Stroud might not be a fantasy QB1 for Week 14. |
Updating previous reports, Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (ankle) will not return to the Week 13 game because of his ankle injury.
Link to storyUpdating a previous report, Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the Week 13 game and is considered questionable to return.
Link to storyHouston Texans WR Tank Dell (leg) was carted off the field after suffering a lower leg injury during the Week 13 game.
Footballguys view: The Texans pass offense revolved around Nico Collins with Dell sidelined. He went down on a short yardage play in the red zone when he was employed as a blocker. Brevin Jordan, playing in place of Dalton Schultz at tight end, was the #2 target for CJ Stroud after Dell went out, and he should be a waiver priority next week. |

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (calf) said he expects to play in Week 13's game against the Denver Broncos.
Footballguys view: Dell is a nice WR2/flex option for Fantasy GMs every week, but the upside for him to finish as a WR1 is there. With Nico Collins likely covered by All-Pro CB Pat Surtain, that leaves guys like Dell to get open and make big plays. Without TE Dalton Schultz this week, that could mean more targets for Dell. |
The Houston Texans will elevate PK Matt Ammendola from their practice squad Saturday, Dec. 2, so that he can play in Week 13's game against the Denver Broncos. PK Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps) is expected to be activated from the Reserve/Injured list next week.

Link to storyDalton Schultz player page
Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 13 versus the Denver Broncos. WR Noah Brown (knee) did not practice on Friday, Dec. 1, and is listed as questionable. WR Tank Dell (calf) and DT Sheldon Rankins (elbow) were limited in practice on Friday and are also listed as questionable. LB Jake Hansen (hamstring, hand) practiced in full on Friday but is listed as questionable. OT George Fant (hip), OT Laremy Tunsil (knee), S Jimmie Ward (hamstring) and QB C.J. Stroud (thigh) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.
Footballguys view: Brown appeared to be on track to return this week, but the missed practice has put that into question (no pun intended). Check back on Sunday to see if he's active before setting your lineup. |

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (hamstring) did not practice for a third consecutive day on Friday, Dec. 1.
Footballguys view: Brevin Jordan will be the primary receiving tight end against the Broncos. Denver has allowed a tight end touchdown in each of the last three games, and they also allowed two scores to Cole Kmet earlier in the season. Jordan is a fine Hockenson/Kincaid/Kmet bye coverage play and if Schultz is out for Week 14 at the Jets, that's another good tight end matchup. |

Link to storyHouston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (hamstring) did not practice for a second straight day on Thursday, Nov. 30.
Footballguys view: The Texans have a big game against the Broncos on Sunday. If Schultz can't play, the Texans can turn to Brevin Jordon. He's a talented and athletic player who has been a bit banged up in his career and has been waiting for his opportunity. |

Houston Texans WR Tank Dell (calf) was not spotted at practice on Wednesday, Nov. 29, but his calf injury is considered minor and he's expected to play in Week 13, per source.
Footballguys view: The Texans are giving the rookie speedster a day off. He'll be out there (most likely) against the Broncos on Sunday, and Dell has WR1 upside in this matchup. |
Houston Texans RB Gerrid Doaks was released from the practice squad on Wednesday, Nov. 29.

Houston Texans WR Noah Brown (knee) returned to practice on Wednesday, Nov. 29.
Footballguys view: Brown was fantastic for the Texans in Week 9 (153 yards, 1 touchdown) and Week 10 (172 yards), but he's been out of action the last couple of weeks. Getting this practice in on Wednesday indicates he will be out there against the Broncos on Sunday. If Brown plays, he's a big-play threat with flex appeal in Week 13. |

Houston Texans OL Tytus Howard (knee) was placed on injured reserve on Wednesday, Nov. 29. In addition, CB Desmond King was promoted from the practice squad, CB Shaquill Griffin was waived and LB Denzel Perryman was reinstated from suspension.

Houston Texans OG Tytus Howard (knee) will require season-ending surgery on the knee injury he suffered in Week 12.
Link to storyHouston Texans QB C.J. Stroud leads the league in completed air yards (1,927) and completed air yards per completion (7.7), ranks second in intended air yards (3,552) and completed air yards per pass attempt (4.9) and third in intended air yards per pass attempt (9.1), according to Pro Football Reference. Stroud is also tied for first among qualified quarterbacks in interception rate (1.3 percent).
Footballguys view: Not only does Stroud launch passes down the field regularly, his pass placement is outstanding and he gives his guys the best chance to do something with the ball after the catch. Against a surging Broncos defense in Week 13, Stroud should still post QB1 numbers from a fantasy perspective. |
