Get over yourself lol, this guy was all over every sleeper list on the internet. I did have Tank on my radar but ended up with guys like Achane instead. For me it was just about how my rosters and picks played out moreso than not wanting Tank on my team. Obviously hindsight is 20/20 and guys like Nacua and Tank were criminally undervalued in drafts/auctions regardless of where you got them. Tank was drafted late in every one of my leagues while Nacua was on the WW in most when he blew up week 1. It's hard to predict how guys will react once they get into the NFL, but I'm not afraid to admit the hype was real with Tank (and Puka). Their "my ball" mentality is fun to watch considering how soft the NFL is becoming. Tank is the real deal and Stroud is the perfect QB to develop with.
Gift that keeps on giving going to he one of the best in NFL and locked in for years with Stroud. He’s his security blanket.
Read it was minor.
I read it was a calf and imaging was done. Havent heard anything else.
Aaron Wilson

#Texans wide receiver Tank Dell who had imaging on his calf after game isn't practicing
@KPRC2
Yes his calf and what you read was correct but since then Wilson tweeted they have confidence he'll play and Demeco backed that up by saying he thought he'd be ok.
Tank Dell is now a top 12 Dynasty WR. He's the #1 riser over the past 30 days.
He's a lunch pail WR3 who's typically been relegated to back up and special teams player. If Nico and Dell are healthy, Brown might split leftover touches with Woods. Looking at 2 weeks of his career and ignoring the rest probably isn't the best way to project forward for him.

Tank Dell #WeAreTexansLeft ankle + knee. Hard to see with bodies piled up, but concern is for left high-ankle +/- ankle fracture. There may be some stress on the knee as well. Carted off. Not good.
Next man up luckily Stroud doesn’t focus on one guy. Brown could be huge grab him if available
Maybe Xavier Hutchinson gets some play
FWIW, Metchie got wide open down the middle just before halftime and Stroud overthrew him on what would have been a long TD.
I’d feel this way if he’d got hurt on a tackle after the catch in his normal function. He’s unlucky some doofus in the sideline made the call to try and use him as an interior lead blocker. Doubt that ever happens again

Eerily similar to Burrow, Chase, and Higgins all on their rookie contracts however Collins will be signed to an extension by someone soon enough.
According to Stefania Bell Tank's injury has a great success rate and healing is much more predictable. He should fully recover well before Spring Training.
Nope but I don't really care about age that much in general. Until they get up over 30 I don't really care and then even then it might not matter much depending on the situation/player/position/etc
Great QB he's playing with, but 30 comes real quick, especially if you're almost 25 and have been in the league one year.
He’s only like 6 months younger than Nico lol
It's 5 years away. I have no problem with that. I typically evaluate in 2 yr windows anyway so 30 is a long way off in my evaluations. Too much changes in the NFL landscape to plan for anything over a couple years. It's why I really cut back on my evaluation windows and treat dynasty almost like a redraft in some respects. I think too many dynasty players worry too much about 4 or 5 years down the road when playing in the now and it really handcuffs them in the near term.
Nico is going on his 4th year to put that into perspective.
I understand where you're coming from, but I think every year counts. To say you only evaluate in a 2 year window makes sense. 3 years, 4 years, 5 years, to try to accurately project how he's going to be doing involves a great deal of uncertainty. Like the weather predictors, I'm willing to put a good deal of stock into what they say is going to happen for the next 72 hours ... after that, sure they can project 3 weeks out, but come on, don't plan a picnic based on it.
And in 5 years when he is 30 then age will be more a factor in his valuation. But it doesn't really factor into my evaluation currently. All that matters is that he is in the beginning of his prime and that is factored into value. But whether he is 23/24/25 today really is all the same to me.
I just looked at one of my PPR dynasty leagues and McLaurin has one top 20 fantasy WR finishes (19th in 2022).
