BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~58 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~65
ANALYSIS: Dell had a promising rookie season, tallying 47 receptions for 709 yards and seven touchdowns. He could have had more if not for the fractured fibula that limited him to 11 games. While the Texans added Stefon Diggs to their wide receiver corps, it should hinder Dell’s ability to dominate slower opponents.
I’m confused why Tank Dell is being drafted 2+ Rounds behind Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs in fantasy football.
Anyone else?

As he showed by scoring a touchdown during the Texans’ preseason game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, the former University of Houston standout will take advantage of the defensive gaps and use his speed to gain more yards. Those attributes make him a nifty target who could yield massive results for your fantasy squad.
Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is the forgotten man in Houston's offense, with an ADP behind Stefon Diggs and Nico Collins. However, Dell could be the best fantasy finisher among the three. Diggs will likely be the first read to start the season, but he will be on the wrong side of 30 this year, and we could see a regression in his game.
Additionally, Dell proved in 2023 that he is at least, if not a slightly more talented player than Collins. Most importantly, C.J. Stroud loves to target Dell.
If not for his missed time due to his concussion in Week 5 and his broken fibula in Week 13, Dell likely would have finished his rookie season with over 1,200 yards and 10 touchdowns. Even so, Dell finished the season with 709 yards and seven scores. Once Stroud got going in 2023, he was locked on to Dell, who is now healthy.

Collins, Diggs, and Dell all occupy different portions of the field. Each of them should be able to provide some level of fantasy value. It is hard to say which player will emerge in fantasy, but Dell will cost substantially less than the other two, and given all the unknowns, he should be your target in the Houston wide receiving core.
