With Collins out, Dell is no longer working exclusively out of the slot, which is a good thing, especially against the Packers, who have yielded more production to wide receivers on the outside. Dell is also a major downfield threat who could hook up with C.J. Stroud for a big gainer or long touchdown at any time.
His price is high enough to keep DFS players off him and a lot of people may gravitate towards Stefon Diggs, who is viewed as the safer option. But I love the upside Dell brings to tournament lineups here, especially if Stroud is going to look his way as often as he did last week.
