Eclipses century mark in loss
Dell secured six of nine targets for 126 yards in the Texans' 21-13 loss to the Jets on Thursday night.
Analysis: 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.

Slots in as top wideout for Week 9
Dell is expected to step into a larger role in the Texans' passing game Thursday against the Jets with Nico Collins (hamstring) still sidelined and Stefon Diggs (knee) having been ruled out for the season, ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Collins has already missed the Texans' past three games, 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 to carve out a bigger role, along with Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie as well as tight end Dalton Schultz. Collins is reportedly on track to come off IR when first eligible in Week 10,…read more

Gets into end zone Sunday
Dell secured all four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 23-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.
Analysis: 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.

Blanked in Week 7 loss
Dell didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: 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…read more

Nine targets, TD in Week 6 win
Dell caught seven of nine targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots.
Analysis: Dell didn't take long to step up in the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring), notching a 20-yard catch on the opening drive before eventually capping that possession with a two-yard touchdown reception. He finished with the team lead in targets, narrowly beating out Dalton Schultz (eight) and Stefon Diggs (seven). Houston's entire passing game took the foot off the gas after building a 20-point lead in the third quarter, but Dell is poised for an extended uptick in usage for the duration of…read more

Role may expand with Collins out
Dell could see additional targets for at least the next four games after the Texans placed Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Dell has posted more than 40 receiving yards only once this season and is still searching for his first touchdown of 2024 after scoring seven times in 11 games as a rookie in 2023 prior to suffering a season-ending injury to his lower leg. Through the first five weeks of the season, Dell has struggled to earn meaningful volume in the passing game while ceding the majority of targets to Collins and Stefon Diggs, but Collins' absence will allow Dell to take on a regular role in two-receiver sets.…read more

Four catches in return
Dell caught all four of his targets for 38 yards and rushed once for minus-5 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.
Analysis: Dell returned from a one-game absence due to a chest injury but continued to play a much smaller role compared to his rookie season in 2023. He's averaging just 31.8 receiving yards per game and has yet to score a touchdown in 2024 after posting 64.5 receiving yards and scoring seven touchdowns in 11 appearances last season. Dell could see some extra volume against the Patriots in Week 6 if Nico Collins (hamstring) doesn't play after leaving Sunday's win over the Bills, which may present an…read more

Returning to action Sunday
Dell (chest) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Dell didn't practice before he was ruled out for a Week 4 matchup with the Jaguars, but his chest injury improved enough for him to get back on the field this week. He was limited both Wednesday and Thursday before logging a full session Friday, thereby paving the way for his return to action. Dell will operate as the Texans' No. 3 WR behind Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs on Sunday, which so far has equated to nine catches (on 17 targets) for 99 yards and no touchdowns in three appearances this…read more

Reps capped Thursday
Dell (chest) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dell sat out the Texans' Week 4 win over the Jaguars with a bruised chest, but he looks to be trending in the right direction for Sunday's game against the Bills after turning in limited practices Wednesday and Thursday. The Texans will decide whether Dell carries an injury designation into the weekend following Friday's practice.

Limited in return to practice
Dell (chest) was a limited practice participant Wednesday.
Analysis: His return to practice, even in a limited capacity, lends credence to reports from earlier this week suggesting Dell is expected to return for Sunday's game against Buffalo. He didn't practice last week and ended up missing a win over the Jaguars, which allowed Robert Woods to fill in as a seldom-targeted No. 3 receiver alongside Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs. The No. 3 role demands more usage when Dell is filling it, but he's seen his volume suffer considerably while sharing the field with…read more

Returns to practice
Dell (chest/ribs) returned to practice Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Dell is expected to return for Sunday's game against Buffalo after missing a Week 4 win over the Jaguars. He may be a limited participant in practice to start the week, but so long as he avoids any setbacks in his recovery Thursday and Friday, he should be in line to play Sunday.

Expected back Week 5
Dell (chest) is expected to suit up versus the Bills in Week 5, barring any setbacks, Will Kunkel of FOX 26 Houston reports.
Analysis: Dell was held out of the Texans' 24-20 win over Jacksonville on Sunday due to a chest injury, which kept him sidelined at practice last Wednesday through Friday. The second-year pro is expected to rejoin Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs atop Houston's wide receiver corps versus Buffalo in Week 5, as long as he can avoid an aggravation of the issue. It will bode well for Dell's status if he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity Wednesday. Per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston…read more

Won't play Sunday
Dell (chest) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Jaguars.
Analysis: Dell emerged from last Sunday's loss at Minnesota with soreness, which was clarified to be a chest issue on the Texans' first injury report of Week 4 prep. He proceeded to sit out practice Wednesday through Friday and thus won't be available this weekend. With Dell in street clothes, Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs will headline the Texans' receiving corps, while Robert Woods, Xavier Hutchinson, Steven Sims and John Metchie will be candidates to fill in behind the top duo.

Looks unlikely to play Sunday
Dell (chest) didn't practice Thursday and appears unlikely to play Sunday against the Jaguars while he manages bruised ribs, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: The Texans haven't officially ruled Dell out from playing Sunday, with head coach DeMeco Ryans noting Wednesday that he considers the wideout "day-to-day" while the team waits to see how he progresses during the practice week. However, with two straight absences to begin Week 4 prep, Dell doesn't seem to be tracking toward playing against Jacksonville while he contends with the injury, which he sustained late in last Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings. Dell also emerged from the contest with a…read more

Termed day-to-day by coach
Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans labeled Dell as day-to-day after the receiver sat out practice Wednesday with a chest injury, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Analysis: Dell appeared to suffer from sore ribs as well as an injury to his hand or wrist during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings, but his absence from practice Wednesday was attributed to a chest injury. In any case, Dell will have two more opportunities to resume practicing before a favorable home matchup against a leaky Jacksonville secondary that allowed four first-half passing touchdowns to the Bills in a blowout loss Monday.

Not seen at practice
Dell (ribs/hand) doesn't appear to be practicing Wednesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dell continued playing after he took a hard hit to the ribs during Sunday's 34-7 loss to Minnesota, and he later suffered a hand/wrist injury on the final drive. Garbage-time production helped him to a season-high 62 receiving yards, but Dell may now be in some danger of missing a Week 4 home game against Jacksonville. He reportedly avoided structural damage, so a return to practice Thursday or Friday should put him on track to play.

Managing soreness after Week 3 loss
Dell is dealing with soreness Monday after taking a hit to the ribs during Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Dell also got his wrist/hand banged up late in Sunday's game, but it looks like the second-year pro has escaped a rough Week 3 with only discomfort. In catching five of six targets for 62 yards Sunday, Dell actually put together his best receiving line of the 2024 regular season, though both Nico Collins (4-86-0 on 10 targets) and Stefon Diggs (10-94-0 on 12 targets) worked ahead of him. Dell will look to get fully healthy and take another step forward as the Texans prepare for a Week 4…read more

Five grabs against Vikes
Dell caught five of six targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: The second-year wideout had his most productive game of the season so far as the Texans fell behind early and had to air it out even more than usual. Dell still finished third on the team in targets however, well behind Stefon Diggs's 12 and Nico Collins' 10, and that's likely to be the regular pecking order in looks from C.J. Stroud. Dell will try to build on this performance in Week 4 against the Jaguars.

Struggling in crowded WR room
Dell caught one of four targets for minus-3 yards and rushed three times for 16 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears.
Analysis: Dell got behind Chicago's defense in the third quarter but had a well-thrown ball bounce off his hands. The second-year wide receiver has had trouble recapturing the magic from his rookie year early in 2024 while ceding the majority of targets to Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs. Dell will look to get back on track in Week 3 against the Vikings.

Five touches in Sunday's win
Dell caught three of seven targets for 40 yards and added 19 rushing yards on two carries in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts.
Analysis: The second-year wideout looked healthy, which was the most important thing after his rookie season ended early due to a broken fibula. While Dell's production wasn't impressive in his first regular-season action since December, his target volume was comparable to both Nico Collins (6-117-0 on a team-high eight targets) and offseason acquisition Stefon Diggs (6-33-2 on six targets). With Dell still apparently set for a significant role in the Texans' dynamic passing attack, he'll look to make a…read more

Sits out exhibition finale
Dell (coach's decision) was held out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams.
Analysis: Dell continues to work with the first team offense despite the addition of superstar wideout Stefon Diggs this offseason and continued presence of Nico Collins as the No. 2 option. With C.J. Stroud looking like the real deal under center, the sophomore slot man may be a rare case in today's NFL of a true No. 3 receiver carrying "must-start" status in fantasy (a la Wes Welker with the 2007 Patriots). Dell has already proven his good health -- following last year's fractured fibula -- when he…read more

Scores TD in return to field
Dell scored a 34-yard touchdown on his only target in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over the Steelers. He also returned one punt for 22 yards.
Analysis: Dell found a seam down the field then broke away from a pack of Pittsburgh defenders to get into the end zone on his only reception. It was encouraging to see the second-year wide receiver suit up after a fractured fibula cut his rookie season short in Week 13, and even more encouraging that Dell looked like his usual explosive self on his touchdown catch. Houston's starters played only two drives Friday, but he may see more run in a preseason matchup with the Giants a week from Saturday.

With training camp underway, Dell has been working with Houston's first-team offense, per Bien-Aime, while in the process seeing his share of looks from QB C.J.

Analysis: The wideout sustained a left leg wound as an innocent bystander during a shooting in late April, but Dell's already back on the practice field and running routes and seems to be an unrestricted participant to begin OTAs. The 2023 third-rounder has already recovered from the fibula injury he suffered last December, and he rejoins a wide receiver room that added Stefon Diggs as a trade acquisition and returns Nico Collins, Robert Woods, Noah Brown (shoulder) and John Metchie.

We saw him in the office the other day and he looked good, in good spirits. But he'll have to rehab and get back to where he was."

Gets serious target competition
Dell (leg) and Nico Collins are part of a potent Texans receiver group that now includes Stefon Diggs, whom Houston acquired from Buffalo on Wednesday, ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dell is now even less likely to match his massive target volume from the four-game stretch preceding his season-ending leg fracture last season -- he produced a 25-369-5 receiving line on 43 targets Weeks 9 through 12. He should still plenty of playing time, and he'll be part of an offense that could rank near the top of the league in pass rate and/or usage of three-wideout formations.

The workouts reportedly included sprints and sharp cuts, demonstrating that the 24-year-old has made great progress since a broken fibula ended his rookie season Dec. 3.

Per Ben Arthur of FoxSports.com, coach Demeco Ryans confirmed after Dell had surgery that the wide receiver will miss the remainder of the campaign, so Tuesday's transaction was merely procedural.

Fractures fibula, out for 2023
Dell was diagnosed with a fractured left fibula after exiting Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos with what the Texans listed as an ankle injury, league sources tell Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. The wideout is expected to miss the remainder of the season.
Analysis: Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans will likely provide further details on Dell's injury after the game, but the rookie third-round pick out of Houston looks set to sit out the rest of the 2023 campaign after X-rays revealed structural damage to his left leg.

Good to go Sunday
Dell (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Dell never managed more than limited participation in practice this week while dealing with the calf issue, but the injury won't keep him off the field Sunday. With Noah Brown (knee) also getting the green light to play after missing Houston's last two games, the Texans will have their receiving corps at full strength for one of the few times all season. Dell should remain entrenched as one of the top targets for quarterback C.J. Stroud after putting together a monstrous 25-369-5 receiving line…read more

Expected to play Sunday
Dell (calf) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Dell is officially listed as questionable for Week 13, but reports have consistently been positive about his prospects of playing. The rookie wideout has scored in four consecutive weeks and gone over 100 receiving yards twice in that span. For one of the few occasions all season, Houston is expected to have each of its top six wideouts available Sunday; like Dell, Noah Brown (knee) is also listed as questionable, but both should be officially ruled in for the Week 13 contest upon the release…read more

Trending toward playing
Dell (calf), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's contest against the Broncos, is expected to play, Jordan Schultz of BleacherReport.com reports.
Analysis: Dell was a limited participant in practice both Thursday and Friday, so it always seemed as if the rookie would be available for the pivotal matchup from a seeding perspective. Fantasy managers should still check on his availability prior to Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but it's possible Dell could see an uptick in targets if Noah Brown (knee) is ultimately unable to play.

Questionable against Broncos
Dell (calf) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
Analysis: Dell was limited in practice Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's session. The rookie wide receiver picked up the calf injury in the Week 12 loss to Jacksonville, but coach DeMeco Ryans expressed confidence during the week that Dell would be available come Sunday. With Dell and Noah Brown (knee) both listed as questionable, a full picture of Houston's receiving corps against the Broncos likely won't materialize until 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Limited at Thursday's practice
Dell (calf) was a limited participant in his return to practice Thursday.
Analysis: After sitting out Wednesday's session, Dell's return to the field one day later bodes well for his Week 13 availability. However, unless he practices fully Friday, Dell will likely approach Sunday's game against the Broncos with an injury designation.

Dell (calf) returned to practice Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dell wasn't on the field for the early part of practice that was open to the media, but the rookie wideout was eventually able to take the field. The Texans will release their second Week 13 injury report later Thursday, when it will be known whether Dell was a full or limited participant.

Still not practicing
Dell (calf) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Dell didn't practice Wednesday, so what he's able to do Friday, if anything, at practice will be telling with regard to his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Broncos. If Dell ends up out or limited this weekend, the potential return of Noah Brown (knee) could provide the Texans with added wide receiver depth for Week 13.

Sits out practice with calf injury
Dell (calf) didn't practice Wednesday, but the Texans are optimistic that he'll be available for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Per Wilson, Dell had imaging done on his calf after this past Sunday's 24-21 loss to Jacksonville. Dell's injury is regarded as relatively minor, but he'll likely need to increase his practice participation Thursday or Friday to get the green light to play against Denver. If the rookie wide receiver is unable to play, it would be a major loss for Houston's offense, considering Dell has piled up 25 catches for 369 yards and five touchdowns in his last four games.

Extends TD streak to four games
Dell caught five of eight targets for 50 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Jaguars. He added 12 yards on one rushing attempt.
Analysis: Dell scored Houston's first points with a seven-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. He had a 62-yard catch negated by an illegal shift penalty and another would-be long reception ruled an incomplete pass after a Houston challenge, so Dell came close to having an even more productive game. As it is, Dell still extended his touchdown streak to four games, and the rookie wide receiver has caught 25 of 43 targets for 369 yards and five touchdowns over that span.

Team-high receiving yardage in win
Dell secured eight of 10 targets for 149 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 21-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.
Analysis: Dell comfortably led the Texans in receiving yards by a wide margin while also setting the pace in receptions. The spectacular rookie also teamed up with fellow first-year star C.J. Stroud on a 40-yard touchdown grab in the right corner of the end zone in the second quarter. Dell now has four touchdowns in his last three games, a sample in which he's eclipsed the century mark on two occasions as well.

Analysis: Dell comfortably led the Texans in targets on a day when Nico Collins (calf) was sidelined, but he wasn't close to full efficiency. Nevertheless, the rookie turned in a productive day and was able to find the end zone for the fifth time this season and third time in the last two games on a six-yard grab to open the scoring for Houston on the afternoon.

Snags game-winning touchdown Sunday
Dell secured six of 11 targets for 114 yards and two touchdowns in the Texans' 39-37 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed twice for two yards.
Analysis: The rookie wideout struck for big plays several times during the wild victory, including on a 29-yard touchdown reception just past the midway point of the third quarter. Dell also came alive on the game-winning drive with a clutch 26-yard sideline grab immediately before his game-winning 15-yard touchdown reception with six seconds remaining. The 100-yard effort was the second of Dell's nascent career, while the multi-touchdown tally was his first. Dell will look to put together a successful…read more

Returns to action
Dell caught three of four targets for 16 yards and had three carries for 15 yards in Sunday's 15-13 loss to Carolina in Week 8.
Analysis: Dell was back on the field after missing Houston's previous game due to a concussion. The Texans operated without Robert Woods (foot), so Dell (44 snaps) joined Noah Brown (40 snaps) and Nico Collins (40 snaps) in the starting lineup. Collins, Woods and Brown were the starting trio in Week 1, but Dell emerged as a viable option while Brown missed multiple weeks due to a groin injury.

Analysis: The rookie missed a Week 6 win over the Saints and now is back in action after a Week 7 bye. Meanwhile, Robert Woods (foot) was held out of Wednesday's practice, though the Texans haven't indicated his injury is serious. Woods' status could have a significant impact on Dell's role this Sunday at Carolina, especially if the Texans still want depth receivers like Noah Brown, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson (foot) to get some playing time.

Practices Monday, likely for Week 8
Dell (concussion) took part in the Texans' unofficial practice session Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. "Getting Tank back is big for us. ... He's a guy we can count on for a big play," head coach DeMeco Ryans told DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com.
Analysis: While Ryans didn't officially confirm that Dell has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, the coach's comments to the media suggest that the Texans fully expect the rookie receiver to be available for Sunday's game in Carolina. Dell missed the Texans' Week 6 win over the Saints with the brain injury, but a well-timed Week 7 bye seemingly gave him added time to recover. Through his first five NFL games, Dell has compiled a 19-324-2 line on 28 targets.

Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Dell is said to be showing improvement after practicing in a limited fashion Friday, and he should be ready to play Oct. 29 at Carolina following the Texans' Week 7 bye.

Though he didn't put in a full practice this week, Dell took a questionable tag into the weekend, but Schefter's report suggests that the rookie wideout didn't clear the five- step concussion protocol.

Despite not having practiced fully all week, Dell may still have a chance at being available Sunday, though he'll first need to gain clearance from an independent neurologist before being removed from the NFL's five-step concussion protocol.

The Texans' upcoming injury report will add some clarity on that front, and if Dell is out this weekend, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson would figure to see added WR snaps in Week 6.

Not expected to play Week 6
Dell (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday and isn't expected to be available for Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Dell is reportedly making progress as he works to clear the NFL's five-step concussion protocol, but the rookie wideout looks like he would need to exceed current expectations in order to be cleared for Week 6. The Texans have a bye Week 7, so missing one contest would allow Dell almost three full weeks to recover in time for the team's Oct. 29 matchup against the Panthers in Week 8.

Analysis: Dell was forced out of Sunday's loss to the Falcons in the second quarter due to be evaluated for a concussion, and Ryans now confirms that the rookie wideout has been placed in the NFL's five-step protocol. As such, Dell will require full medical clearance before being able to retake the field, putting his status for Week 6 versus the Saints in jeopardy.

Won't return Sunday
Dell (concussion) has been ruled out for a return to Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Dell was presumably diagnosed with a brain injury after he exited the contest late in the second quarter to be evaluated for a concussion when he hit his head on the turf while reeling in a catch. He'll finish the game with three catches for 57 yards on four targets. The rookie receiver out of Houston will now look to clear the five-step concussion protocol ahead of the Texans' next game Oct. 15 versus the Saints.

Dell is questionable to return to the second half of Sunday's game against the Falcons while receiving an evaluation for a concussion.
Analysis: Dell appeared to hit his head hard on the turf when he reeled in a key third-down catch in the second quarter. He'll get examined in the locker room before a determination is made if he's fit to return. If Dell's day is over, he'll finish the Week 5 contest with three receptions for 57 yards on four targets.

Quiet following breakout
Dell caught one of three targets for 16 yards, had two carries for 13 yards and returned two punts for 14 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Dell was a popular free-agent fantasy acquisition after a Week 3 breakout (5-145-1), but he failed to build on that performance. The rushing attempts, however, were an interesting wrinkle. Houston's ground game had done little the first three games before producing its first 100-yard game of the season Sunday.

Dell has quickly ascended in the pecking order of the Texans' air attack, now having produced a 12-217-2 line in his last two games while logging 17 targets in that span.

Scores first career touchdown
Dell brought in seven of 10 targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 31-20 loss to the Colts on Sunday. He also returned one punt for 13 yards.
Analysis: The rookie was granted an elevated role due to Noah Brown's placement on injured reserve with a groin injury, and Dell made very good use of the extra snaps Sunday. The 2023 third-round pick tied Nico Collins for the team lead in receptions while checking in third in receiving yards, and he recorded his first NFL touchdown on a 23-yard catch in the fourth quarter that served as Houston's final points of the afternoon.

Could play more with Brown on IR
Dell is expected to handle an expanded role after the Texans placed on Noah Brown (groin) was injured reserve Wednesday.
Analysis: Brown will miss a minimum of four games, which may pave the way for Dell to play consistently in three-receiver sets alongside Robert Woods and Nico Collins. However, the potential return of John Metchie (hamstring) in Week 2 could further alter the pecking order at wideout. In his NFL debut against the Ravens last weekend, Dell had three catches for 34 yards while playing 37 offensive snaps, compared to 52 snaps for Brown.

Part of wideout rotation
Dell caught three of four targets for 34 yards and returned one punt for 14 yards in Sunday's 25-9 loss to Baltimore in Week 1.
Analysis: Dell, who played 37 offensive snaps (48 percent share), saw a smaller workload than Robert Woods (58 snaps), Nico Collins (54) or Noah Brown (52). The rookie splashed during preseason action, exhibiting chemistry with quarterback C.J. Stroud, but that didn't really emerge to kick off the regular season. The two should have plenty of opportunities to connect in 2023 if the Texans continue to fall behind in games.

Returning punts Week 1
Dell is listed second on the depth chart at one wideout position and will return punts Week 1 against the Ravens, Deepi Sidhu of the Texans' official site reports.
Analysis: Dell sits behind wideout Nico Collins, who is slated to start alongside Robert Woods, and hopes to have an impact on an offense that ranked 31st in 2022. He developed an early connection in camp with quarterback C.J. Stroud, which raised expectations for the 2023 third-round draft pick. If he doesn't produce offensively, Dell could provide a lift on special teams; he averaged 17.0 yards per return and scored a touchdown as the primary punt returner for the University of Houston in 2022.

Returns to action Sunday
Dell (hamstring/back) was active for Sunday's preseason finale, failing to haul in his lone target in an exhibition win over the Saints.
Analysis: Dell was able to return after missing last week's preseason tilt against Miami due to minor injuries. The third-round pick didn't record a catch Sunday, but he flashed his athletic ability when Davis Mills nearly connected with him downfield on the team's third offensive possession. The Texans appear set with Nico Collins and veteran Robert Woods as starters to begin the year, leaving Dell to compete with Noah Brown for snaps as Week 1 inches closer.

As Week 1 approaches, Dell and Noah Brown, among others, are competing for slotting behind the Texans' presumed top two receivers, Robert Woods and Nico Collins.

The local third-round pick has drawn praise during camp and had a long gain of 24 yards Thursday, ultimately leading the Texans in all major receiving categories.
