Tank DellWRHOU

Dell is not worth a late-round pick in standard leagues due to multiple serious injuries (knee dislocation, ACL tear) that will require extended recovery. His game is built on quick-twitch change-of-direction movement, and muscle memory recovery from such injuries is uncertain. Bob Harris suggests the magical season may have already passed and Dell may never regain his previous form. Only consider in super-deep leagues with taxi/quad squad spots if rebuilding and willing to take a long-shot flyer on health recovery. The Texans have already moved on with Jaylen Nowell as Dell's long-term replacement.

And I just think with the the knee dislocation, the ACL, you know, multiple injuries, it's going to take multiple tears. It's going to take a little bit of it may he may never get back to where he was muscle memory wise.
