News: 2 days agoDell (knee) participated in "full-team drills" Monday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Spin: Dell practiced in pads last week for the first time since injuring his knee, and after initially being limited to individual drills he has advanced to team work. His status for Week 1 remains uncertain, but if he can avoid any setbacks there's reason to believe he'll be out there when the regular season gets underway.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Dell is on the comeback trail after suffering a devastating knee injury late in 2024 that cost him the entire 2025 season. It was a tough break for the 2023 third-round pick, who finished 18th among receivers in fantasy PPG as a rookie. While he wasn't quite as productive the next season, he was on pace for career highs in catches and yardage. The undersized Dell is certainly a question mark off the major injury and he has serious competition for snaps and targets with Nico Collins, Xavier Hutchinson, Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel among those in the mix. Dell may eventually work his way into starting consideration, but the uncertainty of his health and role makes the 26-year-old no more than a late-round flier.
