2023 Dynasty Fantasy Football Rookie Prospect: Tank Dell, WR Houston

Our NFL rookie profile series continues with this analysis of 2023 NFL Draft Prospect Tank Dell, WR from Houston. We will continue to provide you with these in-depth rookie profiles and a ton of other fantasy football rookie analysis right up through the NFL Draft. Stay tuned, and stay ahead of your league.

For years, the NFL was a big man’s game. Teams only drafted receivers who were 6’2” or taller, but the years of the league being ruled by the Calvin Johnson and Julio Jones-type receivers may be behind us. Instead, we appear to be at the dawn of a new NFL, where sub-6’0” receivers often have multiple Pro Bowl seasons. The question now is: with the NFL embracing a new small and shiftier breed of receivers, can the truly tiny players such as Tank Dell ever produce elite seasons for fantasy, or are they doomed to a middling slot role like that of Rondale Moore and Tutu Atwell?

Dell is currently viewed in the third-round tier of wide receivers and as nothing more than another pint-sized dart throw. He is never going to be an alpha receiver in the NFL, but his speed and elusiveness could allow him to be a productive slot receiver should he get adequate draft capital and go to the right opportunity.
