We’re just two games into the Texans' 2024 season, and patterns are already emerging in how the top three receivers are being targeted.

It appears Nico Collins (18 targets, 14 receptions) is picking up where he left off in 2023 as the top option for CJ Stroud. Stefon Diggs comes in second with 10 catches in two games.

Which means Tank Dell is the clear third option at this point in the season, with only 4 catches. To be fair, Dell only has one less target than Diggs, but the Stroud-Dell connection hasn't lived up to expectations so far.

However, we have to keep in mind, ESPN Houston's Lance Zierlein heard from a source that Dell could be the odd man out in the offense this year.

So far, that appears to be the case.

Be sure to watch the video above as ESPN Houston's John Granato and Lance Zierlein share their thought's on Dell's role in the offense, and much more!
