Who Should I Start? Tank Dell or Ladd McConkey

Monday, October 21, 9:42 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver Tank Dell posted a dud during Sunday's loss to the Green Bay Packers. Dell failed to haul in any of his four targets in the narrow defeat. Before that, Dell had 11 receptions for 95 yards and one touchdown over the two previous contests. After the game, quarterback C.J. Stroud acknowledged that they need to do a better job of getting Dell involved in the offense. The Texans desperately need Dell to step up with Nico Collins (hamstring) sidelined right now. The hope is that Dell bounces back after this which he should considering he does have a ton of potential. Fantasy managers should consider his bad performance as more of a fluke outing.

Los Angeles Chargers rookie wide receiver Ladd McConkey made five catches in a Week 7 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. McConkey ended up with seven targets and five catches, both good for second-most on the team behind tight end Will Dissly. He gained 46 yards, which was third highest. McConkey had a slow first half before turning it on a bit in the second half and ending up with a decent enough fantasy performance. With the Chargers throwing the ball more often, McConkey could have his fantasy arrow pointing up when the Bolts face the New Orleans Saints in Week 8.
