Tank Dell had highest PFF grade for Texans receivers in preseason Week 1
Tank Dell would have been readily identifiable as the best Houston Texans receiver in their 20-9 preseason win over the New England Patriots Aug. 10, but now the experts agree.
According to Braxton Howard from Pro Football Focus, Dell had the highest grade from the analytics site at 83.8.
If you watched Dell during his time at Houston, his quick emergence should not surprise you. He immediately showed his electric ability on his 31 snaps. He played 27 of those snaps from out wide. He was fed eight targets and responded with five catches for 65 yards and a touchdown.
Dell’s double-clutching his lone touchdown catch was key to improving both his stats and grade on the evening.
The third-round receiver’s grade was the 11th-best across the league last week.
