NBC SportsTexans coach DeMeco Ryans said Stefon Diggs (knee) tore his ACL and will miss the rest of the season.

That is, unfortunately, what it looked like on Sunday after Diggs limped off the NRG Stadium turf. Diggs will be a free agent after the season and will probably be looked at as a reclamation project as a 31-year-old rehabbing a torn ACL. For the Texans currently, Tank Dell will push into a more featured role in the passing game and will likely remain a fantasy WR2/3 even when Nico Collins comes back from a hamstring injury that has him on injured reserve. Dalton Schultz has also pushed higher in the target pecking order even if the lines aren't impressive and will become a borderline TE1 until Collins returns. Robert Woods will likely be the main wideout, but splitting snaps with Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie III means you likely can't trust a Houston WR2/3 until proven otherwise.

FF TodayACL injury confirmed for Stefon Diggs

Out for the season A big loss: Texans WR Stefon Diggs suffered a season-ending knee injury Sunday vs. the Colts. What makes the season-ending torn ACL worse for Stefon Diggs is that he is on an expiring contract and set to become a free agent this off-season. (Adam Schefter on X) FF Today's Take: The Texans have missed Nico Collins for the last couple games and will now be without Diggs for the rest of the season. Tank Dell has been a disappointment this season but is going to be needed even more now beginning Thursday night against the Jets. Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie are next up on the depth chart.

FF TodayStefon Diggs likely to miss some time

Scheduled to undergo an MRI on Week 8 knee injury Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs suffered a non-contact knee injury late in the third quarter of Sunday s game against the Colts. He was attempting to run a route when he grabbed at his right knee. Trainers checked on him for several minutes. He was able to walk off on his own power after a few minutes, but headed straight for the locker room after getting up. He was later ruled out in the fourth quarter for the remainder of the game and never returned to the sideline. (Houston Chronicle) FF Today's Take: Fantasy managers should expect Diggs to land on IR. At the very least, it seems highly unlikely he will be able to play Thursday against the Jets. With Nico Collins (hamstring) still one week away from being eligible to return and Diggs almost certainly out for Week 9, Tank Dell should be expected to be featured against the Jets' tough secondary. Robert Woods, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson are all also in play in deeper leagues, but Dell and Dalton Schultz will likely be the only pass-catchers worth using in most formats this week.

NBC SportsHouston Chronicle's Jonathan Alexander reports Stefon Diggs (knee) is expected to get an MRI on Monday.

DeMeco Ryans didn't add anything helpful on Diggs status Monday, saying the team is "still evaluating" the injury. It's highly implausible he'll play against the Jets in Week 9 on Thursday night. It would be surprising if he wasn't place on injured reserve based on how the injury looked. If Diggs is out, Robert Woods, John Metchie III, and Xavier Hutchinson would be in line for more work against the Jets on Thursday night. None of them deserve much fantasy attention given the state of the Houston passing game right now.

NBC SportsJohn Metchie III caught 3-of-4 targets for 29 yards in Houston's Week 8 win over the Jets.

28 of them on one catch, if you want to know how that was really going. Metchie III, Robert Woods (2-of-2 targets for 18 yards), and Xavier Hutchinson (1-of-1 target for 19 yards) look likely to take an expanded offensive role with Stefon Diggs (knee) likely down for at least Thursday night. We'd probably believe most in Woods of the three, but it's worth noting that Metchie III was the target leader of the three today. All of them will be hard to trust for fantasy purposes until we see the Texans offense back on track.
