Tank Dell practised in full Thursday after a limited practice Wednesday with hand and shoulder injuries. He is listed questionable for Sunday's game at Cleveland: check the inactive list about 90 minutes before kickoff.

A full practice is not a guarantee Dell plays, but the Texans have confirmed he will play without restrictions against the Browns. He is a WR3 option in deeper formats after drawing nine targets in Week 9, though the uneven usage over his two games this season and the crowded Houston receiving depth chart keep the outlook cautious.

Tank Dell

Dell caught 4 of 9 targets for 105 yards and 1 touchdown on 47 per cent of snaps in Week 9 against the Chargers, 18.5 half-PPR points. Over his 2 games this season he has averaged 5.0 targets, 2.5 receptions and 74 receiving yards a game for 11.8 half-PPR points a game. The Week 9 line was far stronger than the Week 7 showing (1 catch for 43 yards on 1 target and 23 per cent of snaps), and he is scoring 3.5 half-PPR points a game above what his usage predicts (5th of 186 receivers), so some touchdown or big-play luck that may not repeat. His role is worth monitoring closely after the contrasting workloads.

Xavier Hutchinson got 5 targets on 81 per cent of snaps in Week 9, Kayshon Boutte 5 targets on 33 per cent and Nico Collins 4 targets on 73 per cent, so Dell's 9 targets led the group but the snaps and target distribution remain fluid. His 35 per cent snap share and 14 per cent target share over 2 games rank 146th of 196 receivers in role security (1 out of 99). This week he faces Cleveland, which has allowed 23.9 half-PPR points a game to receivers, the 10th fewest of 32. Hold Dell as a WR3 in deeper formats, but the uncertain snap count and crowded depth chart make him too risky to start in most 12-team leagues.

What to do

• Hold Tank Dell as a WR3 option in deeper formats after his nine targets in Week 9, but keep him on the bench in most 12-team leagues until his snap share stabilises.

• Check the inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff to confirm Dell is active, as he is listed questionable with the hand injury.

• Monitor the Houston receiver rotation over the next two weeks, as Dell's role remains unclear alongside Hutchinson, Collins and Boutte.
