BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3/FLEX
ANALYSIS: Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell has been one of the worst players to own in fantasy football this year. Players who were drafted highly in fantasy drafts but put up dud after dud can sink teams -- their past production keeps making you think you should start them, and then they put up goose eggs.

There are a lot of things working against Dell right now. He's recovering from a leg break, literally got shot in the offseason, looks extremely rusty (understandably) and has a quarterback that's been struggling. Luckily, he faces the dreary Indianapolis Colts defense in Week 8. Expect a bounce-back game from No. 3.
Draft Tank Dell.

Then try to sell him because his value will tank yet again when Nico Collins (hamstring) returns. Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik wants to run virtually the entire offense through Collins and running back Joe Mixon. That's led to multi-game absences for both, but many OCs are stubborn and want to run their scheme as if injuries don't exist.
Dell is just not the player he was last year. We can probably attribute this to his injuries. He's is already a fantasy bust, and when No. 12 returns, No. 3 may not be worth starting. But for Week 8, you should be fine firing him up in your WR3/FLEX spot.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically.

Not every WR is like this, though, […]
