Stroud was actually able to support multiple breakout seasons last year. Fellow rookie Tank Dell joined the modern group of small receivers who can dominate at the NFL level. Before a season-ending injury in Week 13, Dell demonstrated the ability to deliver monster weeks. In ten games before his injury, Dell cleared 25 fantasy points three times and scored at least 17 points in six games.
Dell made a living as Houston's big play, deep threat. His 14.3-yard aDOT was the 12th highest of any receiver last year. Unlike many other vertical weapons in the NFL, Dell also saw consistent volume. His 20.4 percent target share is not an elite mark, but it is strong for someone who is used like Dell.
While both Diggs and Collins can get vertical, Dell will likely reprise his role as the big play weapon. The addition of Diggs does bring into question whether or not Dell can maintain his target share. As long as Stroud continues to target Dell at a reasonable rate, he can be a strong option at receiver every week but we may see more volatility in Dell's output.

 Tank Dell's outlook for 2025 season in doubt
Suffered serious knee injury in Week 16 loss to KC

|  | DeMeco Ryans says it's too early to put a timeline on whether Tank Dell will play in 2025.
He didn't want to speculate on whether they'd need to find receiver because of that. But added they'd look to improve their team in all areas. (Jonathan Alexander on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: At the very least, Dell should not be expected to play for the first half of next season. Perhaps he can play a bit role late in the season - not unlike what Tyler Higbee did for the Rams this season - but even that seems unlikely given how serious Dell's injury was. Houston will likely try hard to re-sign Stefon Diggs (ACL) and could even invest a Day 2 or early Day 3 draft pick into the position after John Metchie, Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson failed to distinguish themselves.
