Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been very busy this season and emerged as a PPR contributor in his team's passing attack. Last week against the Bills, he only had one catch, snapping a streak of 10 straight games with multiple receptions to start the season. He had at least six catches in three straight games before last Thursday's letdown, and he'll look to bounce back in Week 13 as the Texans head to Indianapolis to face the Colts in a divisional matchup. The Colts have been a favorable matchup for tight ends, and Schultz will get C.J. Stroud back at QB after he missed three weeks with a concussion. Stroud and Schultz have a strong connection, which is enough to make Schultz the No. 13 TE in the RotoBaller Week 13 rankings. He's not quite a "must-start" in this matchup, but he definitely makes a strong option in 12-team leagues or if you need some help at the position due to injury or ineffectiveness of the other options available this week.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been extremely consistent this season, getting plenty of volume for PPR leagues. He has at least five catches in seven of his last eight games and has 20 targets from backup QB Davis Mills over the last two weeks. Mills will make another start against the Bills on Thursday Night Football with C.J. Stroud (concussion) still sidelined. The Bills have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends this season, so it's a tough spot for Schultz, despite his regular production. RotoBaller has Schlutz ranked as the No. 12 TE this week, making him a fringe starter in standard-sized leagues and a great TE2. He has more value in leagues where his number of receptions can help him compensate for low yardage totals.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) continues to manage a shoulder injury, but he should be active on Thursday night in Week 12 against the Buffalo Bills after upgrading to a full practice on Tuesday. Schultz was listed as limited on the team's Monday practice estimation. The 29-year-old's shoulder injury has not slowed him down on the field on game days, as he has a nice three-game stretch consisting of 19 catches, 181 yards, and a touchdown on 28 targets. He has had at least eight targets during that span and has seen at least eight targets in four of the last five games. The last two weeks with starting quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) sidelined, Schultz has been a nice safety blanket for Davis Mills, catching 13 of 20 targets for 104 yards and his first touchdown of the year. Schultz is trending up going into Thursday's tilt while being on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated injury report, according to ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime. It's an injury that Schultz has been dealing with for the last month, but he's played in the last four games and should be good to go for this Thursday night's tilt against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, barring a setback. The 29-year-old got off to a slow start in 2025, not going over 39 receiving yards in any of his first four games. Since Week 7, though, he has 30 catches on 41 targets for 303 yards and a touchdown in five games. Schultz has been heavily involved with quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) out of the last two games, too, catching 13 of 20 targets for 104 yards and a score. Even if Stroud is out again this week, Schultz will be on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy football.
Nov 17, 2025 7:29 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz remains a PPR stalwart, hauling in six passes on nine targets for 51 yards in Sunday's win over the Titans. Schultz was second on the team in targets and catches behind only Nico Collins, and he has at least five catches in seven of his last eight games. His yardage totals usually aren't very impressive, but he's up to 51 receptions in his 10 games this season. Tight end Cade Stover was activated from IR before Sunday's game and played 14 snaps (20%). He could cut into Schultz's workload as he gets back to full strength, but for now, Schultz is getting enough opportunities to be a fringe starter in standard-sized leagues that emphasize receptions over yards.
Nov 17, 2025 8:07 AM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a key PPR contributor this season, and he's a fringe starting option this week against the Titans. The veteran missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a shoulder injury, but he does not have an injury designation coming into Week 11. He found the end zone for the first time this season last week against the Jaguars, finishing with seven catches for 53 yards and his score. He has at least five catches in six of his last seven games, and even though his yardage totals haven't been impressive, he's been regularly involved enough to be the TE13 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 11, as he comes into a favorable matchup against the Titans.
Nov 15, 2025 7:11 AM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (illness, shoulder) was able to practice in full on Friday and has been cleared to play in Sunday's divisional tilt against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11. Schultz's status for this weekend wasn't looking good when he missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday due to an illness and a shoulder injury, but he'll be ready to roll after a full practice on Friday. The 29-year-old is coming off a seven-catch, 53-yard performance on a season-high 11 targets in last week's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, in which he also caught his first touchdown of the year. Backup quarterback Davis Mills looked Schultz's way often in a miraculous comeback, but fantasy managers can't count on that kind of volume from Mills for a second straight week. Still, in a good matchup against the one-win Titans, Schultz should at least be on the TE1/2 borderline as a fantasy streamer this weekend.
Nov 14, 2025 8:50 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) is missing a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. With two DNPs to begin the week, Schultz is firmly up in the air to play this weekend against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. It's pretty disappointing for any fantasy managers who picked up the 29-year-old after he had seven receptions on a season-high 11 targets for 53 yards and his first touchdown of 2025 in last week's spirited comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The good news, though, is that Schultz missed two practices back in Week 9 with knee and shoulder injuries before returning to practice on Friday and playing that Sunday. Schultz may need a full practice this Friday to be cleared to play on Sunday. Harrison Bryant (neck, shoulder) is also banged up, and Cade Stover (foot) is still on IR, so Houston's TE corps could be dangerously thin if Schultz cannot play this Sunday.
Nov 13, 2025 1:57 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) was a non-participant during Wednesday's practice session. This doesn't come as a surprise considering Schultz has been managing a knee and shoulder injury the last week. Despite that, Schultz did suit up for last week's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Schultz hauled in seven of his 11 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the victory. The hope is that Schultz was held out on Wednesday for rest maintenance. Outside of one dud, Schultz has been a viable fantasy option over the last five games. Fantasy managers should check back on Thursday and Friday for more updates on his status.
Nov 12, 2025 8:55 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz caught seven of 11 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the team's improbable Week 10 win over the Jaguars. In Davis Mills' first start since 2022, only Nico Collins demanded a higher target share. Schultz has now caught at least five passes for 50+ yards in four of his last five games, proving himself to be an important piece of the Texans' passing offense, regardless of who is under center. While Sunday's fourth-quarter touchdown was his first of the season, he's been able to provide a reliable floor on volume alone. With C.J. Stroud one week further along in the concussion protocol, Shultz remains in the streaming conversation in another divisional matchup with the Titans in Week 11. And should Stroud be sidelined for one more week, fantasy managers should feel reassured by Schultz's early chemistry with Mills.
Nov 10, 2025 2:13 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a solid PPR producer this season, and his high volume of targets on short passes gives him a high floor again this week against the Jaguars. The Jaguars have given up the second-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season, and Schultz has turned his 6.0 targets into 4.8 catches per game, although only for 48.1 yards per game and no touchdowns. Schultz has at least five catches in five of his last six games after hauling in six catches for 77 yards last week against Denver. He hasn't hit 100 yards or found the end zone, but his consistent involvement makes him a bye-week or injury fill-in option or a strong second tight end. He's the No. 19 TE this week in RotoBaller's rankings and is a little higher-risk with Davis Mills replacing C.J. Stroud, but Schultz has been consistently involved enough to still bring upside in this favorable matchup.
Nov 8, 2025 5:45 AM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) was able to practice in full on Thursday after being limited on Wednesday, according to the team. It's the third straight week that Schultz has been on the team's injury report with knee and shoulder ailments, but the 29-year-old hasn't missed any time. Fantasy managers should expect him to be out there this weekend for a Week 10 divisional clash against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He's still searching for his first trip to the end zone in 2025, and the odds of his first touchdown coming this Sunday took a hit when the Texans ruled out starting quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) earlier this week. Schultz has seen an uptick in production in the last three games, though, catching 17 of 21 targets for 199 yards. Backup QB Davis Mills could lean on Schultz as a security blanket this weekend, but Schultz will still be no more than a touchdown-dependent TE2 for fantasy managers.
Nov 6, 2025 5:37 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice session. Unsurprisingly, Schultz is limited to start the week while he continues to deal with lingering injuries. He missed practice time last week as well, but still suited up for the Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos. Schultz hauled in six of his eight targets for a season-high 77 yards in the defeat. If he's unable to play, Harrison Bryant would likely be asked to start, but he wouldn't be a recommended fantasy option for the Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Nov 5, 2025 8:24 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz hauled in six catches for 77 yards on eight targets in his team's Week 9 loss to the Denver Broncos. While Schultz still has not found the end zone this season, he's quietly provided stable production at the tight end position in recent weeks. The 29-year-old has earned at least six targets and recorded at least five receptions in five out of his last six games. It's worth noting that the Texans may be without quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) in Week 10, but Schultz was still productive in Week 9 after Stroud was forced to exit the game. Schultz has a limited ceiling, but he can provide consistency for fantasy managers at the tight end position. He profiles as a deep-league waiver wire target heading into a Week 10 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Nov 4, 2025 11:51 AM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Denver Broncos. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The veteran tight end started to turn the corner in October, but he finished the month with a disappointing two-catch, 24-yard showing against the 49ers. He posted that stat line despite Houston playing without its top two receivers, Nico Collins and Christian Kirk. Both Collins and Kirk are back this week, so he'll have even more competition. Schultz could bounce back against a Broncos defense that might lock down Houston's receivers, forcing C.J. Stroud to target his tight ends more. However, that's far from a guarantee, especially with Denver cornerback Patrick Surtain II (pectoral) sidelined. Fantasy managers should view Schultz as a high-end TE2 with TE1 upside.
Nov 2, 2025 11:32 AM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) is expected to play this Sunday when his team squares off against the visiting Denver Broncos. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the news. Schultz has been battling a shoulder ailment for a few weeks now, but his knee injury was new, as he dealt with a back issue the week prior. The eighth-year pro started the week off with two DNPs before upgrading his practice status to full on Friday, and looks to be trending positively ahead of a matchup with a staunch Broncos defense. If the Texans decide to scale back Schultz's snaps, fellow tight end Harrison Bryant would be the most likely candidate for an increased workload. The veteran is a back-end TE2 for Sunday's outing with Denver.
Nov 2, 2025 12:53 AM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee/shoulder) is officially questionable for Week 9's matchup with the Broncos, but the veteran from Stanford was able to put in a full practice Friday and seems to be on track to play through the injury. He's RotoBaller's No. 20 tight end this week if he does play, and he'll be looking to bounce back from his quietest game of the season. Last week, he had two catches for 24 yards against the 49ers after hauling in nine passes for 98 yards the previous week against Seattle. On the season, he has 32 catches for 308 scoreless yards in his seven games. He can be a PPR emergency start if needed, but with Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) back from their injuries, the Texans have lots of pass-catching options. It's also a very tough matchup for the passing game against a strong Broncos defense, so temper expectations for Schultz this week. He's only a starter if you have bye week issues or are in a very deep league.
Nov 1, 2025 5:50 AM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) is dealing with multiple injuries and is questionable to play this weekend against the Denver Broncos on Sunday in Week 9. Schultz did not practice with the team on Wednesday or Thursday, but he returned to a full practice on Friday, giving him a chance to play. Despite the two DNPs earlier this week, the 29-year-old is expected to play on Sunday, although he still won't be all that attractive to fantasy managers. The former fourth-rounder of the Dallas Cowboys in 2018 out of Stanford will have a lower ceiling this weekend against a tough defense due to the returns of both receivers Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring). Schultz has yet to find the end zone in 2025 and has caught 32 of his 40 targets for 308 yards. If he's active, fantasy managers should treat him as a touchdown-dependent TE2.
Oct 31, 2025 5:56 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee/shoulder) was spotted during the stretching portion of Friday's practice after logging two straight DNPs. Schultz has provided a consistent fantasy floor for managers streaming the position, putting together a string of four consecutive games with at least five receptions before being held to only two catches for 24 yards in a Week 8 win over the 49ers. The Texans face a stingy Broncos defense in Week 9, and with Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) both appearing set to return, along with the recent emergence of rookies Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins, streamers would do best to look elsewhere this week.
Oct 31, 2025 2:38 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (knee, shoulder) is missing another practice on Thursday, but head coach DeMeco Ryans said that he "expects him to return later this week," according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Sports. Schultz has yet to practice this week, but it sounds like the team expects the 29-year-old to return to Friday's practice. That doesn't ensure that he'll be active this Sunday when the team hosts the Denver Broncos in Week 9, but it will at least give him a chance to play this weekend. The good news for Houston is that top receiver Nico Collins (concussion) says he's ready to return after missing the Week 8 win over the San Francisco 49ers due to a concussion, and the Texans could also be getting wideout Christian Kirk (hamstring) back. After a season-best nine-catch, 98-yard performance in Week 7, Schultz came back down to earth last week, catching just two passes for 24 yards. If he's active, Schultz is merely a TE2 option in fantasy against a strong Broncos defense.
