Tank Dell is a dynasty fantasy football faller and offseason loser for 2025. Read the fantasy football outlook for the Houston Texans wide receiver.
RotoBaller Dynasty Ranking: WR65
Dynasty Analysis: It's an on-again, off-again fantasy love affair with Tank Dell. However, with a 33-spot drop in our consensus rankings, fantasy managers can take advantage of the discount. Currently, the expectation is that Dell will have minimal impact, if any, in 2025 as he continues his recovery from that gruesome leg injury.
Houston added insurance with the addition of Christian Kirk and the draft selections of Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel, but denying Dell's ability would be an unfortunate oversight.
In 25 career games, the 25-year-old Dell has accounted for 1,376 receiving yards and 10 touchdowns on 98 receptions, averaging 14.0 yards per reception. When healthy, Dell produced a better average separation score (0.161) than Malik Nabers (0.112) per the Fantasy Points Data Suite.
Fantasy managers must play the long game and understand that Dell may miss the entirety of the 2025 season and/or find himself Wally Pipp'd by Noel when he returns. There is optimism that Dell will fully recover and be ready for the 2026 season. It comes down to risk versus reward. Right now, there is no real risk considering the cost to acquire.
Texans WR Tank Dell is going to be carted to the locker room with a knee injury after scoring on this play:
