Kayshon Boutte vs Tank Dell: The Full Breakdown
The gap between Kayshon Boutte and Tank Dell is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.8 PPG in 2025, this is one of those wide receiver decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Kayshon Boutte averaged 7.7 PPG with the New England Patriots across 14 games, and Tank Dell posted 8.5 with the Houston Texans in 12.
When two wide receivers are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Target volume is the story here. Tank Dell saw 72 targets in 2025, while Kayshon Boutte drew 46. That workload gap usually translates into a higher weekly floor for Tank Dell, even in weeks where Kayshon Boutte posts the bigger ceiling game. Consistency-minded managers lean toward target share; boom-bust managers chase the upside.
Kayshon Boutte has his bye in Week 11, and Tank Dell rests in Week 14. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at wide receiver for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
