I'm going to say [ __ ] it. Um unless it's a super deep league with taxi quad squad spots and you're rebuilding building and you just want to take a a just a long shot chance that Dell actually is going to be healthy enough and return to his form. And I just think with the the knee dislocation, the ACL, you know, multiple injuries, it's going to take multiple tears. It's going to take a little bit of it may he may never get back to where he was muscle memory wise.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Multiple severe injuries; muscle memory recovery uncertain; long-shot only.

Dell is not worth a late-round pick in standard leagues due to multiple serious injuries (knee dislocation, ACL tear) that will require extended recovery. His game is built on quick-twitch change-of-direction movement, and muscle memory recovery from such injuries is uncertain. Bob Harris suggests the magical season may have already passed and Dell may never regain his previous form. Only consider in super-deep leagues with taxi/quad squad spots if rebuilding and willing to take a long-shot flyer on health recovery. The Texans have already moved on with Jaylen Nowell as Dell's long-term replacement.
