What happened to Tank Dell? Injury update on Texans WR for Week 4 fantasy football
Houston Texans second-year wide receiver Tank Dell had a big rookie season. Last year in 2023, Dell had 47 receptions for 709 yards and seven touchdowns in 11 games played.
In Week 13 against the Denver Broncos, Dell suffered a leg injury, and fractured his fibula, leaving him sidelined for the remainder of the season after emerging as a top wide receiver in Houston.
In the offseason, Houston extended Nico Collins and acquired Stefon Diggs from the Buffalo Bills. Add in a healthy Tank Dell and many think that the Texans have the best wide receiver trio in the NFL.
