Should I start Theo Johnson or Tank Dell in Week 10?

Updated Nov 10, 11:21 AM ET.

Start Tank Dell: 36 percent of the snaps and 15 percent of the targets over their last 3 games, against Theo Johnson's 35 percent of the snaps and 4 percent of the targets. No market projection is posted on either of them this week, so this is a usage call, and a lower confidence one than a call made on a projection. What follows is what each of them has done.

The gap

  • Board size307 draftable players

Draft data is not current for these two, so the figures that depend on it are left out. The call above comes from each player's usage.

Where the draft room stands

Live drafts hold no current pick on Theo Johnson, and the board ranks him 146th overall on the rest of his evidence.

Live drafts hold no current pick on Tank Dell, and the board ranks him 147th overall on the rest of his evidence.

The market-based projections

Theo Johnson's market-based projection is 1.7 PPR points a game, built from 3 markets across 13 market sources. That is the 134th highest figure of the 208 players with a market-based projection.

The market-based projection for Tank Dell is 1.5 PPR points a game off 1 market across 1 market source. That is 30 percent of what a wide receiver's projection needs, so it is a fragment of one rather than a projection.

Tank Dell's projection is not complete, so the two figures are not set against each other here.

This season through Week 9

Through Week 9, Theo Johnson has been on the field for 33 percent of NYG snaps, drawn 5 percent of the targets and had 2 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 1 of the offence's 59 third down targets, had 0 of its 10 chances inside the five and seen 1 of its 25 two minute targets.

His 9 targets have averaged 10.8 air yards.

In Week 4 against ARI he caught 1 of 1 target for 11 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

In Week 5 against WAS he caught 2 of 3 targets for 35 yards and did not score.

In Week 9 against PHI he was not given the ball.

Through Week 9, Tank Dell has been on the field for 36 percent of HOU snaps, drawn 15 percent of the targets and had 6 percent of the red zone chances.

He has taken 1 of the offence's 19 third down targets, had 0 of its 4 chances inside the five and seen 1 of its 16 two minute targets.

His 10 targets have averaged 15.6 air yards.

In Week 7 against NYG he carried 1 time for 2 yards, caught 1 of 1 target for 43 yards and did not score.

In Week 9 against LAC he caught 4 of 9 targets for 105 yards and scored 1 touchdown.

Their 2025 seasons

In 2025 Theo Johnson played 15 games and scored 127.8 PPR points, 8.5 a game, finishing TE18.

He caught 45 of 74 targets for 528 yards and 5 touchdowns, with 13 red zone targets.

That came to 4.9 targets a game, a 61 percent catch rate and 11.7 yards a catch.

He was on the field for 87 percent of the snaps in the games he played.

The season feed carries no line for Tank Dell in the last completed season.

Side by side

Theo Johnson is a tight end and Tank Dell a wide receiver, so the question is which slot you fill first rather than which of them is better.

Byes and availability

Tank Dell is off in Week 8. No bye is listed for Theo Johnson.

What would change the answer

Tank Dell has only a partial projection, so the market half of this page is whole for only one of them.
