BALLER MOVE: Sit
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR4
ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell had a fantastic 2023 before breaking his leg. That and an unfortunate incident where he was shot in the offseason didn't help his start to 2024, and those significant injuries are likely still affecting him. The whole Texans offense has been mildly disappointing as well.
Dell now gets to face a monstrously good pass defense. The Texans' Week 5 opponent, the Buffalo Bills, has allowed just 20.4 PPR fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers, the second-fewest in the league. Teams have a much easier time running on the Bills than passing, as the Baltimore Ravens showed with Derrick Henry last week.
CJ Stroud on Tank Dell getting involved vs Buffalo:

The Texans and quarterback C.J. Stroud have admitted that he's very important to the offense, but there's a reason they signed Stefon Diggs in the offseason. Dell needs more time to recover and hasn't looked like himself. It didn't help that he picked up hand and chest injuries in Week 3 and had to sit out Week 4.
The time to start Tank with confidence will come, albeit with a lower ceiling than 2023 due to Diggs' presence. But it's not against the Bills. They have a massively talented secondary, including possible future All-Pro Christian Benford.
Dell's most likely breakout game is in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts. For now, leave him on the bench.
