News: 3 days agoDell caught one of four targets for minus-3 yards and rushed three times for 16 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Bears.

Spin: Dell got behind Chicago's defense in the third quarter but had a well-thrown ball bounce off his hands. The second-year wide receiver has had trouble recapturing the magic from his rookie year early in 2024 while ceding the majority of targets to Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs. Dell will look to get back on track in Week 3 against the Vikings.

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.
