BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR22
ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been a fantasy football bust this season. The second-year wide receiver is the WR50 for the year, averaging 8.2 half-point PPR fantasy points per game. He scored 8.7 or fewer fantasy points in five of his first six games, totaling only one receiving touchdown.
However, Dell has been better with Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee) out of the lineup. He has had 11.5 or more fantasy points in back-to-back games. Furthermore, the star receiver had his best performance of 2024 in Week 9 without either veteran, totaling six receptions on nine targets for 126 receiving yards against the New York Jets.
Tank Dell on Thursday Night Football:
🔻 9 Targets
🔻 6 Receptions
🔻 126 Yards
🔻 3 Receptions of 15+ Yards
🔻 18.6 PPR Points pic.twitter.com/ySW96roCTG— PFF Fantasy & Betting (@PFF_Fantasy) November 1, 2024
While Collins could play Sunday night against the Detroit Lions, Diggs if out for the year with a torn ACL. The Lions have surrendered 32.9 fantasy points per game to wide receivers, the third-most in the NFL.
Dell is a must-start WR2 if Collins doesn’t play. Meanwhile, he is a high-end WR3 with upside if the star receiver is back in the lineup.
