PROJECTED POINTS: 12.3
Matt: Dell has played seven games with Nico Collins this season. In those contests, Dell has averaged three catches, 41 receiving yards and 7.6 fantasy points per game, with zero touchdowns. [Insert sad trombone noise here.] He’s failed to reach 11 fantasy points in any of the three games since Collins returned from injury, and unfortunately, C.J. Stroud simply isn’t playing at his Offensive Rookie of the Year level from 2023, when he easily supported multiple fantasy stars in the passing game.
Now, in your fantasy quarterfinals, Dell draws the Dolphins. While they’ve been beaten recently by the Davante Adams–Garrett Wilson and Puka Nacua–Cooper Kupp duos, Dell is not playing up to the standards of any of those guys. He should ride the bench this week.
