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.
