BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been a big disappointment in this year's drafts. He's had just two games eclipsing 15 PPR fantasy points after a rookie season that saw him beat that mark six times. He simply hasn't looked the same, which is understandable, given the circumstances.

Before he broke his leg in Week 13 of last season, and took a bullet to one of his legs in the offseason, he was an elite separator and route-runner. He's just not looked nearly as explosive this season. Often, fibula fractures can mean an athlete needs more than a year to fully restore their peak athleticism.

Dell should benefit from the return of WR Nico Collins, who will be the primary target in coverage for the opposing Dallas Cowboys. Their secondary is also decimated by injuries -- both cornerbacks DaRon Bland (foot) and Jourdan Lewis (neck) won't be able to play on Monday.
With star corner Trevon Diggs likely to be matched up with Collins often, we could see Dell get favorable coverage looks. And he doesn't have to compete with WR Stefon Diggs (knee) with targets any more. He's a fine player to start in leagues with 12 or more teams, but there is some risk, since Houston should opt for a run-heavy gameplan.
