Who Should I Start? Tank Dell or Ben Skowronek

Wednesday, October 22, 12:13 AM

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell (knee) has been steadily rehabbing from the gruesome injury he suffered late last season against the Chiefs, working his way back toward full strength. During Houston's Week 3 broadcast, analyst Ross Tucker mentioned that he saw Dell running sprints, which is an encouraging sign in his recovery process. The 25-year-old has been on the sideline during a recent Texans game, but there is still no clear sign of him returning anytime soon. For now, the Texans will continue to rely on Nico Collins, who left Monday night with a concussion, along with rookies Jaylin Noel, Jayden Higgins, and Xavier Hutchinson at receiver.

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Ben Skowronek (illness) was limited in practice earlier this week but carries no injury designation into a Week 6 showdown with the Cleveland Browns. Although the fifth-year pro has just one reception this season, he could be in line for additional opportunities on Sunday with Calvin Austin III (knee) sidelined. Scotty Miller and Roman Wilson may also step into expanded roles, but Skowronek logged the most snaps of the three in Week 4 before the team's bye. He's also the only one with any meaningful fantasy output this year, taking his lone catch into the end zone for a 22-yard score back in Week 1. With the Browns stifling the run through the first five weeks, quarterback Aaron Rodgers could be forced to throw the ball early and often. Skowronek can't be considered a viable option in most redraft formats, but he does have some sneaky appeal as a deep-league dart throw.
