Draft note

by John Paulsen

Tank Dell finished his rookie season as the fantasy WR36, though he missed six games and left early in two others. In his nine full games, he averaged 4.9 catches for 72 yards and 0.78 touchdowns on 7.9 targets per game. The resulting 15.0 fantasy points per game would have been the seventh-most at his position, so there may be some value at his WR26 ADP. Drafters are likely fading him due to the arrival of Stefon Diggs, who will garner targets one way or another. Dell fractured his fibula in early December but is expected to be fine by training camp.

Texans sign WR Nico Collins to 3-year, $72.75M extension

The Houston Texans and wide receiver Nico Collins have agreed to a three-year, $72.75 million extension that includes $52 million guaranteed. The contract has a maximum value of $75 million.

Collins, 25, is coming off a career-best season in which he had 80 receptions (ranked 23rd in the NFL last season) for 1,297 yards (ranked 8th) and eight touchdowns (tied for 8th) in 15 games.

Related Players: Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell

Fantasy Impact:

Diggs is only playing on a one-year deal, as the Texans voided the final three years of his contract while giving him a $3.5M raise. If they allow him to walk next season, Collins will be the clear WR1, if he isn't already. Both receivers are good early-round options in fantasy drafts right now, with Tank Dell being an interesting option a few rounds later, even with Diggs in town.

HOU WR Tank Dell - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Tank Dell may have been small in stature, but he sure came up big at times as a rookie. He recorded over 700 yards and seven touchdowns and that with with missing six games. As our John Paulsen notes, Dell would have been WR7 in terms of fantasy points per game. He is currently being drafted as the WR26. Quarterback C.J. Stroud should continue to look Dell's way in Year 2.

Fantasy Downside

Stefon Diggs is going to steal some targets from Dell and Nico Collins and his 100+ targets are also still around. That will limit Dell's ceiling. Dell recovered from a fractured fibula from last season but also suffered a gunshot wound back in May. He should be good for Week 1 against the Colts.

2024 Bottom Line

Dell can be boom or bust, perhaps even more so now that Diggs is in the mix. But as a WR3? You can do a whole lot worse. Dell is going in the 5th round in 12-team drafts, behind his two running mates.
