Team news: Houston Texans | Page 2

Texans tight end Dalton Schultz didn't practice again due to hamstring injury and is expected to miss Sunday's road game against Jets with Brevin Jordan set to start again after career-high for receiving yards in win over Broncos.

With Tank Dell going down early during a goal-line QB sneak last week, Brevin Jordan got even more run than he may have. He was targeted down the field on a few occasions, finishing with a 3-64-0 line on five targets. Jordan should be in streaming considerations for deep leagues.

Zach Wilson -- benched in each of the past two seasons, most recently in late November in favor of Tim Boyle, who was released yesterday -- has been named the Jets' starting quarterback for Sunday's game vs. the Texans.

Wilson should be avoided in all fantasy formats wherever possible, no matter how deep the league is. Garrett Wilson should receive a small boost, but still remains a WR2.

Tim Boyle, the No. 3 quarterback who became the starter after the Jets benched Zach Wilson, will be released by the Jets, according to Josina Anderson of CBS Sports.

The Jets also will be signing quarterback Brett Rypien from the Seattle practice squad.

There is no update on who the Jets plan to start this week. There are conflicting reports about the team wanting to go back to Wilson but Wilson being reluctant to play. With Boyle out of the picture and Rypien perhaps needing more time to get up to speed, it could mean Siemian gets the nob. We'll likely know more by later in the week, but it probably goes without saying no one is really a good option outside of desperation plays in deeper two-QB or superflex leagues and dynasty leagues.

Robert Saleh says he's not ready to name the Jets' starting QB for Week 14, and going back to Zach Wilson is among the options.

Needless to say, this situation is a bit of a mess. Pelissero shared a post from Andrew Siciliano where Saleh said, "Let's be clear, if [Wilson] were reluctant to play, he wouldn't be here." But from Wilson's standpoint, who could blame him if there was any truth to the story from The Athletic. Be sure to monitor the situation, but whoever is named the starter would only have deeper league, two QB or superflex value.

The Jets want to make a switch at QB. The team is leaning towards Zach Wilson to take over, but he is reluctant to stepping back in.

Russini went on to say the team is discussing the next step to take. With Wilson not wanting to go back in, and the team not seeing much more from Boyle or Siemian this past week, the Jets may need to hit the waiver wire to find their next QB. The Jets sit at 4-8, and while they are still alive, they need to win-out and find a lot of help along the way.

Texans WR Tank Dell suffered a fractured fibula during Sunday's win against the Broncos, ending his season.

A very unfortunate piece of news for the Texans who are right in the playoff hunt at 7-5 after their 22-17 win over Denver. Nico Collins stepped up in a big way with 191 yards and a touchdown on 9 catches. He'll lead the charge with Noan Brown and John Metchie among those behind him. The Texans face the Jets in Week 14.

WR Tank Dell (calf) has returned to practice today after missing yesterday. DeMeco Ryans had been optimistic about Dell. A good sign. TE Dalton Schultz (hamstring) missed yesterday and isn't on the field today.

Brevin Jordan is the only other tight end on the team with a receiving touchdown this year, but only has five other catches. He should get a boost in usage without Schultz but his workload is unlikely to be trustworthy enough to get him in a lineup.

It looks like a second straight DNP (calf) for Texans WR Tank Dell. Would make him iffy to be available on Sunday against the Broncos.

**Adam Schefter immediately afterwards reported that Dell was "spotted" at practice, so we're gonna say that this is a limited practice, with conflicting reports

The Dell-C.J. Stroud rookie pairing is go far better than anyone could have imagined, as their passing offense continues to look explosive. Dell has to be started in all fantasy lineups if he's good to go, and if not, Nico Collins has a shot at a huge week.

Texans wide receiver Tank Dell who had imaging on his calf after game isn't practicing. There is optimism that he should be able to play against Broncos after not practicing today.

Tim Boyle will start for the Jets on Black Friday against the Dolphins, according to multiple reports.

Related players: Zach Wilson

Boyle relieved Wilson this past week but went 7-for-14 for 33 yards and an INT against the Bills. The Jets are hoping any kind of spark can keep them alive long enough to get Aaron Rodgers back this season. Boyle saw one game last year going 2-for-8 for 33 yards with two INTs for the Bears in Week 18. In 2021, Boyle got some time with the Lions starting three games but losing all three. He threw for three TDs in those contests but also had six INTs. For now, Boyle should only be considered it deeper leagues that start two QBs.
