News: 2 days agoDell recorded five receptions on nine targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

Spin: Dell had another game as the Texans' top pass-catching option with Nico Collins (hamstring) sidelined for another week. However, Dell failed to convert his opportunity, turning in a long reception of just 13 yards while also recording only one reception across the final two quarters. Overall, his disappointing season continued, as he's been held below 50 receiving yards in six of nine contests.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: If Dell's rookie season saw him set a franchise rookie record for receiving scores in just 11 games, a second season bears real excitement. He is expected to be fully back from a broken fibula that shortened his prolific first season in the league, and Dell also, fortunately, shouldn't be limited by a shooting wound incurred in the offseason. Forging a dynamic duo with C.J. Stroud as one of the most exciting big-play tandems in the NFL, Year 2 could be even more compelling for Dell. Target competition is a real factor on a depth chart that includes Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs, yet, as last season suggests, Dell can do a lot of damage without immense volume. The history of second-year receiving ascension also bodes well for Dell, making him a worthy WR3 target as a key part of a rising offense.
