WR Nathaniel “Tank” Dell, HOU (1 Viewer)

Thought when Diggs was as done for the season Tank would take off.
Even when Nico came back thought teams would double him and Tank would be a great option.
However each game his catches go lower and lower.
Literally:
6,5,4,3,2,1 in his last 6 games.

Maybe the targets will roll over to 255 after next week's 0?
 
I really hope this is due to his season ending injury last year and/or gun shot prior to season. Can't blame it all on the offensive line or Collins and Diggs wouldn't have shine. Big Tank fan and pulling for him.

According to the NBC broadcast, #Texans WR Tank Dell was transported to University of Kansas Medical Center, an indication of the seriousness of care.

Yikes. Yeah, it looked very bad. There were a lot of guys who looked super shook on the field. Seems worse than just ACL or broken bone. I guess we’ll get an update but that had the look of a long recovery. 😬
 
Some players are just unlucky, he got his leg broke while blocking on a running play, got shot for being unfortunately in the crossfire, now gets another serious injury as a result from a teammate’s unfortunate hit to his knee. Hopefully Dell has the best recovery possible. What a catch though, incredible for him to hold onto the ball, just amazing.
 
That was really gross. Was it a full dislocation or compound fracture? Anyone know? That protruding lump on his leg did not look good. Praying for the kid. He's been through more in 2 years than a lot of guys go through in an entire career.
 
As someone who's dislocated my kneecap multiple times, it sucks. But the real concern is what damage (if any) he has to the patella tendon, or potential ligament damage. If it's strictly just the kneecap then that's good news compared to the alternatives.

Yeah I googled and it didn’t sound as bad as the reactions looked today. Hope the surrounding damage is minimal

Just went through this. Kneecap dislocation is very ugly. It's gruesome to look at as it appears like there is major damage. Once they reset it, you can get back on your feet after the swelling subsides. There is a ligament that holds your kneecap to the femur called the MPFL. That is likely torn or severely stretched. Mine wasn't completely torn, but when they went in to remove "bodies" (cartilage/bone fragments), they went ahead and gave me a new MPFL while they were in there. Crutches/brace for a few months, but I'm not a pro-athlete who's job it is to rehab.
 
Flying back to Houston per Ryans to review next step options. Noted he didn’t yet have surgery but I won’t speculate as to what all this means.

Sounds as if confirmation is dislocated knee cap, no surgery thus far, out indefinitely.

Hoping for him that means as good of news as possible.
 
DeMeco Ryans said in addition to Tank Dell dislocating his knee cap, he also tore his ACL and will miss the remainder of the year.

Given this news what what we looking at dynasty wise? Buy low or buyer beware?

I'm considering a buy low as I won't be contending next year in a deliberate rebuild so looking at 2026 for him...

I own in dynasty .. doubt anyone wants him. The Stroud owner is in a rebuild and took my Aiyuk earlier in the year, revisiting the well to see if he wants Tank now too.

I too own him in dynasty. Came in this thread to see what the consensus was. I think I'm going to sell (or try to atleast) on his 2026 potential. Maybe he comes back strong or maybe he doesn't.

I think the Texans have showed their hand drafting the two Iowa St. guys about the severity of his injury. Definitely a sell imo.

Before the draft may have found a buyer for a later round pick, now I doubt anyone would touch him unless free on the waiver wire. I am holding in the only league I have him as it has decent size benches and a practice squad. Maybe next year he can beat out Noel for the slot spot but far from guaranteed.
