00:03 All right, speaking of conversations, I'm gonna let you empty the barrel here

00:06 because roster percentage to me is how we cross the pay line.

00:11 Tank Dell, how many rosters are gonna have Tank Dell after this segment?

00:15 A lot more, Joe.

00:17 More had him last week than you might think.

00:20 The fantasy nerd community, in which I am a big part of, loves Tank Dell,

00:25 and rightfully so.

00:26 And last week, if you liked Tank Dell, well, you got a return

00:29 because he was wide receiver six last week.

00:31 He caught five of his seven targets for 145 yards and a touchdown.

00:35 He also had a touchdown against Indianapolis in week two.

00:38 And a lot of this is based on C.J. Stroud playing as well as he has.

00:41 And Stroud has clearly been the best, I think, overall quarterback

00:44 of this rookie class, as I thought he was,

00:47 and which is why I ranked him number one in the Black Book this year

00:49 of the rookie class quarterbacks.

00:50 I just think he's the most complete quarterback

00:52 who could hit the ground running.

00:53 Richardson's the guy that could break the wheel,

00:55 but he's going to need a little bit more time in the slow cooker.

00:59 You've got to give him a little bit more time.

01:01 The hard part here with Tank Dell is you are facing the Pittsburgh Steelers,

01:04 a team that I think is always going to be well-coached,

01:07 always going to be prepared.

01:09 They're always going to get after the quarterback too,

01:11 but that offensive line is not great.

01:13 The other thing you have to worry about is there are other guys

01:15 in this offense as well, like Nico Collins, like Robert Woods,

01:19 who are also seeing targets.

01:21 So what's gone well for them in the sense from a fantasy perspective

01:25 is the Houston Texans have been behind.

01:28 They were behind in Baltimore.

01:30 They were behind against Indianapolis.

01:32 They were behind at times last week against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

01:36 So look, in this opinion here of mine when it comes to Tank Dell,

01:40 this is not a guy without risk.

01:42 If you look at the price, though, I think it makes a lot of sense

01:44 because the price is $6,200 over on Fanville, $4,600 over on DraftKings.

01:49 That's very cheap, especially on DK.

01:51 You kind of have to have some of these guys.

01:53 $4,600 to me is worth the risk.

01:56 Now, you still want him to see somewhere around seven targets in this game.

02:00 The one thing I will say is the Pittsburgh Steelers' secondary

02:03 has not been great.

02:05 So that's the one thing you can't attack.

02:07 Now, of course, the Pittsburgh Steelers are the Pittsburgh Steelers,

02:10 and we should still respect them regardless of however slow

02:13 they've gotten off to a start.

02:14 But the offensive line is a problem for the Houston Texans,

02:17 and when TJ Watt is chasing after you, that's a problem for a lot of quarterbacks.

02:21 So I'm not saying that Tank Dell doesn't come with risk.

02:23 He does.

02:24 But I think it's enough reward where it makes sense.

02:27 And to your point, Matt, you're right.

02:29 Tank Dell is not a household name.

02:30 Tank Dell is not a guy that I think a lot of people woke up this morning

02:33 and go, "You know what I'm going to put on my roster here today?

02:35 Tank Dell."

02:36 But he is the guy that CJ Stroud wanted the Texans to draft.

02:39 They did draft him.

02:40 Maybe we should have listened to that relationship a little bit more

02:42 when it happened because Tank Dell is one of the most added guys

02:46 to Tennessee football in the last couple weeks.

02:49 (upbeat music)
