Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell is being highlighted as a potential fantasy sleeper for the 2026 season. After recovering from a severe knee injury, Dell returns to an already competitive receiver group that includes Nico Collins and others. NFL fantasy expert Matt Okada recommends considering Dell in the final rounds of fantasy drafts due to his past performance, where he averaged 23 fantasy points per game in his last four healthy outings. His ability as a big-play threat and his impressive 2023 rookie season, where he tallied over 700 receiving yards, adds intrigue as he looks to reintegrate into the Texans' offense this season. Dell aims to reclaim his spot ahead of the fantasy drafts in mid-September.
