Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell turned plenty of heads as a rookie in 2023, amassing 709 yards and seven TDs in 11 games.
After working his way back from a broken fibula that prematurely ended his 2023 campaign, Dell has yet to find as much success in 2024 while playing behind Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs in Houston's revamped receiving corps. To make matters worse, Dell missed the Texans Week 4 matchup against Jacksonville with a chest injury.

Tank Dell Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Dell missed Houston's Week 4 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars with a chest injury. However, the second-year wide receiver has now cleared any hurdles that might prevent him from suiting up and will play in the Texans' huge Week 5 clash with the Buffalo Bills.
The 24-year-old was a full participant in the team's Friday practice. Houston removed Dell from their final injury report and he's expected to be without any restrictions in this week's matchup against Buffalo.

Tank Dell Fantasy Football Outlook
Despite the offseason addition of Stefon Diggs to the evolving Houston receiving corps, the majority of fantasy managers were excited to land Dell in 2024 fantasy drafts after his breakout rookie campaign that included 709 yards and seven TDs last season.
Dell entered the season reportedly fully recovered from a broken fibula that ended his 2023 season prematurely. However, Dell has yet to find anywhere near the same amount of success he achieved last year in this new-look Texans receiving corps.

“Definitely a key component to this game to get Tank Dell going cuz I think he’s one of the best receivers in the league” 🗣️ pic.twitter.com/f2NFgWV39i

The second-year pro has clearly been the third option behind rising star Nico Collins and the well-established veteran Diggs. Dell has earned just a 15.7% target share to this point, a mark that ranks 59th in the NFL. Despite his lackluster volume and production to this point, the dynamic Dell remains in fantasy consideration ahead of a potential shootout with the Bills in Week 5. He should be viewed as a classic boom-or-bust FLEX option until further notice.
