Tank Dell caught his lone target for 43 yards in the Texans 27-21 loss against the Giants. Dell was making his much anticipated return for the first time in two years. He remains off the fantasy radar for now

Giants beat Texans 27-21 in overtime
Cam Skattebo had no touches last week. He had 18 touches, 124 rushing yards, a touchdown and the longest run of his career set up the Giants for the overtime win. Skattebo went 42 yards to the Houston 30 on the Giants’ second snap of overtime before former Texan Devin Singletary ran the rest of the way to the end zone on the next play. It handed the Giants a 27-21 victory with only 2:35 gone in OT. The Giants won in J.J. McCarthy’s first start with the team and moved to 4-2-1, while the Texans’ postseason hopes are likely gone with a 2-5 record. McCarthy’s second career game-winning drive came after the Texans went three-and-out to start overtime. Giants edge rusher Kayvon Thibodeaux dropped an interception in his hands on the Texans’ side of the 50 on the second play in overtime. The Texans tied the game with 52 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter when Xavier Hutchinson caught a 3-yard touchdown on third down. They didn’t carry the momentum with them into overtime, though. The Giants had 34 carries for 188 yards and McCarthy went 20-for-28 for 252 yards. Malik Nabers caught seven passes for 111 yards. Singletary had five carries for 41 yards and the game-winning touchdown, and Tyrone Tracy six carries for 15 yards and a touchdown before a hamstring injury. Jameis Winston scored on a 1-yard quarterback sneak. The Giants outgained the Texans 420 to 237, but kicker Dominic Zvada missed field goals of 44 and 56 yards in the first half. C.J. Stroud was 17-of-28 for 153 yards and two touchdowns. Tank Dell, playing his first game since December 2024, caught a 43-yard pass and had a 14-yard punt return. Woody Marks had 19 carries for 66 yards. Ka’imi Fairbairn kicked first-half field goals of 57 and 58 yards

Tank Dell - Cleared to make 2026 debut
sleeper-rotowire+46 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Dell (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants. Dell is ready to take the field for the first time since Dec. 21, 2024, when he suffered a dislocated kneecap and multiple ligament tears in his left knee. The 2023 third-rounder certainly had his share of success playing with C.J. Stroud over his first two seasons, but he'll likely be eased into the workload in his first game in nearly two years. Dell figures to operate in a rotational role behind Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison and Jaylin Noel against New York, with progressively expanded opportunity expected in coming games

Tank Dell Officially Active for Week 7 Against Giants
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) is active for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the New York Giants, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter, but he's a deeper-league stash, not a safe starter. Dell will make his first regular-season appearance since December 21, 2024, when he suffered a serious knee injury against the Kansas City Chiefs. Houston activated the 26-year-old on Saturday and removed his questionable designation after he practiced in full throughout Week 7. Head coach DeMeco Ryans has tempered expectations for Dell's return, and the Texans already have considerable competition for targets with Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Jaylin Noel. Given his lengthy absence and uncertain initial workload, Dell is a risky Week 7 starter

Tank Dell - Activated from injured reserve
sleeper-rotowire+46 stories · 30dSource unavailable
Dell (knee) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, and his questionable designation has been removed for Sunday's game against the Giants. Dell thus is poised to log his first game action since he suffered a serious left knee injury Dec. 21, 2024 that included a dislocated kneecap and multiple ligament tears. The Texans' receiving corps is in a much different state this time around, with Marvin Harrison, Jaylin Noel, Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte all vying for reps behind No. 1 option Nico Collins. Where Dell may stand behind Collins remains to be seen, assuming the former is active for Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff

After two years rehabbing, Tank Dell overwhelmed, anxious and excited to play again
Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has not played a game since Dec. 21, 2024, when he tore multiple ligaments and dislocated his kneecap in a game against the Chiefs. The gruesome knee injury threatened his career. “ I’m blessed ,” Dell said, via DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN. “I want to thank God for getting me back in this position. But I don’t think I’m overwhelmed. I’m anxious, of course, but I don’t think I’m overwhelmed. I’m anxious to get back out there and play some football.” The Texans opened Dell’s practice window on Oct. 5, and he returns to game action on Sunday against the Giants. “I know it’s a lot of questions, like, ‘How he gonna look when he gets tackled?’” Dell said. “I don’t care about none of that. I’m ready to get tackled. I’m gonna be joyful. Y’all gonna see the passion I have after I had that first catch.” Dell, a third-round pick in 2023, will likely be on a snap count Sunday. That doesn’t matter to him or to the Texans. “It’s just getting Tank back out there after missing two years of football,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said. “That’s the main thing. Him just going out playing ball. I don’t care how many reps he gets. But I’ll have my Tank Dell jersey on.” Dell has 98 receptions for 1,376 yards and 10 touchdowns in his career
