Yesterday, C.J. Stroud had 470 passing yards and five touchdowns in the win over the Buccaneers. Houston had four players total at least 60 receiving yards and a touchdown, with Dell being the only one to find the end zone twice.

The former Houston Cougar is available in 44.3% of ESPN leagues. Fantasy players should make Dell their top waiver wire claim this week. The Texans have a fantasy-friendly schedule in the second half of the year.

More importantly, they face the Tennessee Titans twice during the fantasy playoffs. Tennessee has struggled to slow down opposing wide receivers this season. They could be a league-winning matchup for fantasy players with Dell on their roster.
