2024 Fantasy Outlook
Dell lasted until 69th overall in last year's draft despite topping 1,300 receiving yards both of his final two seasons at Houston. It's now clear teams made a mistake passing on him, though it was understandable at the time given his combine measurements (5-8, 165), 40 time (4.49) and age (turned 24 during his rookie season). Dell quickly silenced those concerns, earning the Texans' No. 3 receiver job out of the gate and combining for 217 yards and two TDs in Weeks 2-3. A Week 5 concussion cost him a game and a half, but the rookie came back strong after a bye to average 5.6 catches for 77.0 yards and 1.0 TD on 9.4 targets in Weeks 8-12. During that time, Dell maintained a steady diet of short, intermediate and deep targets, proving to be much more than just a slot guy or screen/YAC threat. In fact, he was targeted behind the line of scrimmage just once all season and finished 15th among WRs (200-route minimum) with a 14.2 aDOT. Unfortunately, he broke his fibula early in Houston's Week 13 contest and missed the rest of the season. His nine full games yielded seven touchdowns, along with averages of 4.9 catches for 72.4 yards on 7.9 targets. Fellow Texans wideout Nico Collins had even better numbers, though Dell was more productive in the weeks leading up to his season-ending injury. Things look promising in 2024 for the Houston offense, with Dell returning for spring practices and joined by both Collins and offseason trade acquisition Stefon Diggs. The wealth of WR talent creates questions regarding target share, but an offense engineered by coordinator Bobby Slowik and QB C.J. Stroud may have the necessary passing volume and efficiency to keep everyone happy. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Co-team-high yardage total
Dell brought in four of seven targets for 54 yards in the Texans' 34-10 win over the Cowboys on Monday night. He also rushed once for four yards.
ANALYSIS
Dell and the returning Nico Collins tied for the team lead in receiving yards and targets -- the latter with Dalton Schultz -- while checking in second in receptions. The second-year wideout now has at least four catches in four consecutive games, but he's only exceeded 50 receiving yards in two of those contests. However, Dell should continue benefiting from the defensive attention teams are forced to bestow on Collins when Houston hosts the Titans in Week 12.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Texans traded up in the third round of the 2023 draft to take Dell (69th overall). His nickname ("Tank") didn't come from his frame; the University of Houston product is listed at 5-10 and 165 pounds, which may limit him to slot duty in the NFL. At that size, Dell needs to be quicker than opponents and make plays. He led the nation in receiving yards (1,398) and touchdowns (17) in 2022 and scored 32 TDs during his collegiate career. Mid-round receivers rarely make a fantasy impact out of the gate, but the Texans aren't deep at wideout, so Dell has a shot at playing time. He could also land as the primary returner, a role he handled in rookie camp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Back to WR2 for Week 11
Dell will revert to being the Texans' No. 2 wideout for Monday's game against the Cowboys as Nico Collins returns from a five-game absence due to a right hamstring injury, Coral Smith of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Texans' passing attack has struggled since Collins' injury, and it was dealt another blow when Stefon Diggs tore his ACL in Week 8 against the Colts. Dell has done an admirable job filling in as C.J. Stroud's go-to pass catcher, with the former logging 22 catches on 35 targets for 257 yards and two touchdowns in the five games Collins was sidelined. Dell should have more space to maneuver in the passing game Monday if the Cowboys' secondary is honed in on Collins.
