Dell exited their Week 5 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons with a concussion and ended up missing the following Sunday’s’s game against the New Orleans Saints. With the team off on a bye this past week, that allowed enough time for the rookie to clear concussion protocol and return to practice.
Fantasy football implications for Week 8
Barring a sudden setback, Dell should be good to go to play this Sunday. The speedy rookie wideout out of Houston had made a big contribution to the team prior to his concussion, hauling in 19 of 28 targets for 324 receiving yards and two touchdowns. He’s averaged 12.9 fantasy points per game in PPR leagues and should remain a strong Flex option moving forward.
