ESPN REPORT: Texans Lose A Mega-Star To Rams….
It never appeared so easy to recuperate from an injury or gunshot wound.
Last season, then-first-year wide out Tank Dell enjoyed the most entertaining stretch of games as a rookie pass catcher in Houston since Will Fuller V. Dell’s spectacular season was cut short when he shattered his leg in Week 13 against the Denver Broncos.
Dell caught 47 catches for 709 yards, a 15.1 yard per catch average, and seven touchdowns in 11 games, eight of which he started.

Last season, first-year wide receiver Tank Dell enjoyed the most entertaining stretch of games for a rookie pass catcher in Houston since Will Fuller V. Unfortunately, Dell’s fantastic season came to an end in week 13 against the Denver Broncos when he broke his leg.

Dell is working hard to assist boost the Texans offense in 2024, building on last season’s success.
He wasn’t only one of the top rookie receivers last year; he was also one of the finest receivers in the NFL overall.

And, with a healthy Dell in the lineup, quarterback C.J. Stroud will have more weapons than any opposing defense could possibly stop.
Based on last season’s stats, assuming Dell can play all 17 games in 2024, he will surpass 1,000 yards in week 16. With Nico Collins, Stefan Diggs, and Dalton Schultz catching passes, Stroud should easily pass for over 5,000 yards this season.
