Should You Start or Sit Tank Dell in Week 15?
Dell has just two top-30 performances this season (Weeks 6 and 9), coming up well short of expectations after a strong rookie season. I mentioned the productive duos within the Nico Collins write-up, and if you think Miami will devote all of its resources toward him, Dell could snap out of his funk against a defense that is the last remaining unit in the league without a deep interception.
If you’re backing Dell, you’re doing it based on opinion more than anything we’ve seen on the field lately.
- Week 9 at New York Jets: six catches on nine targets
- Week 10 vs. Detroit Lions: five catches on nine targets
- Week 11 at Dallas Cowboys: four catches on seven targets
- Week 12 vs. Tennessee Titans: three catches on five targets
- Week 13 at Jacksonville Jaguars: one catch on four targets
Dell hasn’t earned a red-zone target in three straight games, and that has subtracted from the upside in his overall profile. Jameson Williams (vs. Bills) and Darnell Mooney (at Raiders) are receivers that fill a similar role in their respective offenses but have shown more recent life and, thus, rank higher for me this week.
