Should I Start Tank Dell in Week 4 Fantasy Football?

The Steelers defense is known for its big-play abilities. It will allow a lot of yards, but it will also make a key sack or takeaway to save the day when needed. The Steelers are allowing the eleventh-most passing yards per game, and those yards are especially concentrated in the hands of wide receivers. They have allowed the fifth-most yardage to opposing WRs.

In Week 1, the San Francisco 49ers' Brandon Aiyuk finished as the WR2 against Pittsburgh, while his teammate Deebo Samuel finished as the WR36. In Week 2, the Browns' Amari Cooper and Elijah Moore finished as the WR30 and WR67, respectively. Last week, the Raiders dominated the Steelers' pass defense, with Davante Adams finishing as the WR1 and Jakobi Meyers as the WR25.

The Steelers have consistently allowed at least one top-30 fantasy WR finish and usually a top-10 finish. The Cleveland Browns are a run-heavy team, so they only produced one starting WR finish against the Steelers, but the 49ers and Raiders both produced two starting WRs.

The Houston Texans are also a pass-heavy team. They are averaging 271 passing yards per game, the sixth-most in the league. Tank Dell is a strong start in this favorable Week 4 matchup.
