Nico Collins‘ anticipated return to the field this evening has been the talk of the Houston Texans as they prepare for their Monday Night Football clash against the Dallas Cowboys. The performance of Collins early in the season was pivotal for the Texans, leaving fans and analysts eager to see his impact after a hiatus.

Aside from Collins, attention is also focused on wide receiver Tank Dell, who has recently stepped into a more prominent role due to injuries within the team, including Stefon Diggs‘ knee issue. Dell has demonstrated his potential, securing a significant amount of attention in recent games, with nine targets in each of his last two outings. However, the return of Collins, who boasted a remarkable 27.2% target rate up until Week 5, might change Dell’s current role.

As a rookie, Dell displayed efficiency, averaging 15.1 yards per reception and recording 2.80 PPR fantasy points per touch in 2023. Although his sophomore season has yet to match his early feats, Dell remains a key player against a faltering Dallas secondary. The Cowboys’ defense has struggled throughout the season, giving up an average of 7.8 yards per opponent pass attempt, one of the worst stats in the league. At home, this has worsened, with Dallas allowing 11.2 yards per opponent pass attempt and several big plays over 40 yards.

In terms of fantasy football strategy, Dell holds value as a WR3 or FLEX option. Despite his high salary in Showdown formats, this could result in lower ownership, presenting an intriguing opportunity for fantasy managers looking for potential high rewards.
