Who Should I Start? Stefon Diggs or Tank Dell

Tuesday, December 17, 11:35 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) said he's unsure if he'll be back with the team in 2025 but wouldn't be opposed to sticking around. "I don't know what the future holds but I definitely got a home in Houston, and I love those guys over there. They're good people," Diggs said. The 31-year-old veteran is out for the rest of the season after suffering a torn ACL in Week 8. The four-time Pro Bowler played in eight games in his first season with the Texans before his injury and caught 47 passes on 64 targets for 496 yards and three touchdowns as an every-week starting wideout in fantasy. However, his overall upside was limited due to the presence of Nico Collins, which could force Diggs to pursue an opportunity with another team on the open market in free agency. Diggs' market could depend on how his recovery from ACL surgery is coming along in the offseason.

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee), who suffered a dislocated left knee in addition to a torn ACL, MCL, and LCL and a damaged meniscus in the Week 16 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, will undergo one of multiple surgeries this offseason on Wednesday. It will obviously be a very long road to recovery for the second-year wideout after the devastating injury. Because of the timing of the injury late in the year and the extensive damage to his knee, it's highly unlikely that Dell will be ready to go for the start of the 2025 regular season this fall. "Unfortunately, it has to be considered career threatening, but we all hope not career-ending," orthopedic surgeon David Chao said. It's far from a guarantee that Dell will even be able to play again next year, which will obviously make him one to avoid in fantasy drafts. The 25-year-old finished with 51 catches, 667 yards and three TDs in his second season before the injury.
