Tank Dell: Everyone has to stand up when Stefon Diggs is out

On Tuesday, it was announced that Texans wide receiver Stefon Diggs will miss the remainder of the season due to a torn ACL and his absence will force other members of the team to carry a greater burden for the rest of the season.

One of those players is Tank Dell, who came into the season as part of a trio at the top of the depth charts with Diggs and Nico Collins. Collins is currently out with a hamstring injury, so Dell will be front and center Thursday night against the Jets, and he said Tuesday that Diggs told him he wants the second-year wideout to “finish the job.” “.

“If you lose one of your star players, it applies to everyone else I have to step up” Dell said, via KPRC's Aaron Wilson. “Even if you are one of the star players, you still have to step up, do more and produce more. I know we are all more than capable of this. So we’re going to try to go out and make plays.”

Dell isn't the only player who will be asked to do more, but he has done more than the other wideouts this season, and the passing game's ability to continue producing at a high level will have a lot to do with how good he is plays on Thursday and in the future.
