• Texans' Tank Dell: Struggling in crowded WR room

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  Dell caught one of four targets for minus-3 yards and rushed three times for 16 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears. Dell got behind Chicago's defense in the third quarter but had a well-thrown ball bounce off his hands. The second-year wide receiver has had trouble recapturing the magic from his rookie year early in 2024 while ceding the majority of targets to Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs. Dell will look to get back on track in Week 3 against the Vikings.

• Texans' Tank Dell: Sleeper WRs

  5D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Dell was the odd man out in Week 1 at Houston since Nico Collins (17.7 PPR points) and Stefon Diggs (21.1 PPR points) both had big games. Dell only scored seven PPR points against the Colts, but he should rebound this week. Dell was second on the team in targets (seven) behind Collins (eight), and Dell finished with three catches for 40 yards. I expect C.J. Stroud to lean on Dell more this week, and I like his matchup against the Bears. He's worth starting as a high-end No. 3 receiver in all leagues.

• Texans' Tank Dell: Five touches in Sunday's win

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Dell caught three of seven targets for 40 yards and added 19 rushing yards on two carries in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts. The second-year wideout looked healthy, which was the most important thing after his rookie season ended early due to a broken fibula. While Dell's production wasn't impressive in his first regular-season action since December, his target volume was comparable to both Nico Collins (6-117-0 on a team-high eight targets) and offseason acquisition Stefon Diggs (6-33-2 on six targets). With Dell still apparently set for a significant role in the Texans' dynamic passing attack, he'll look to make a bigger impact in Week 2 against the Bears.

• Texans' Tank Dell: Sits out exhibition finale

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Dell (coach's decision) was held out of Saturday's preseason finale against the Rams. Dell continues to work with the first team offense despite the addition of superstar wideout Stefon Diggs this offseason and continued presence of Nico Collins as the No. 2 option. With C.J. Stroud looking like the real deal under center, the sophomore slot man may be a rare case in today's NFL of a true No. 3 receiver carrying "must-start" status in fantasy (a la Wes Welker with the 2007 Patriots). Dell has already proven his good health -- following last year's fractured fibula -- when he broke off a long touchdown catch in the Texans' first preseason contest.

• Texans' Tank Dell: Scores TD in return to field

  08/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Dell scored a 34-yard touchdown on his only target in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over the Steelers. He also returned one punt for 22 yards. Dell found a seam down the field then broke away from a pack of Pittsburgh defenders to get into the end zone on his only reception. It was encouraging to see the second-year wide receiver suit up after a fractured fibula cut his rookie season short in Week 13, and even more encouraging that Dell looked like his usual explosive self on his touchdown catch. Houston's starters played only two drives Friday, but he may see more run in a preseason matchup with the Giants a week from Saturday.
