Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz set a season-high with five catches for 33 yards in the Texans' 34-10 victory against the Dallas Cowboys. The big tight end drew seven targets, which tied for the team lead, but did most of his work within short yardage. The former Cowboy still has not scored this season, but Houston has only two passing touchdowns in its past five games as a team, so receiving touchdowns have been few and far between. Schultz and the Texans will look for better against the struggling Tennessee Titans in Week 12.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz continues to be a TE2 option as Houston takes on his former team, the Dallas Cowboys, in Week 11. The 28-year-old is coming off a season-best 66 receiving yards last week, but volume remains an issue, and now the Texans are slated to get top receiver Nico Collins back in the lineup. The veteran tight end has been one of the more frustrating fantasy holds on the season: he's starting in a good offense, but not trustworthy enough to start confidently. Against a bad Dallas defense, he's a touchdown-dependent play.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz pulled in three passes for a season-high 66 yards in a 26-23 loss to Detroit on Sunday. The big tight end didn't see a ton of volume, logging only four targets, but he was effective when called upon in the passing attack. Unfortunately for Houston, the offense was shut out in the second half as the Lions mounted a comeback from 16 points down. Schultz and the Texans will face a much friendlier matchup in Week 11 when they take on the struggling Dallas Cowboys.
Nov 11, 2024 12:07 AM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz should be considered a TE2 in Week 10 with a difficult matchup on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Detroit ranks No. 1 against fantasy tight ends going into this week, and the former Dallas Cowboy hasn't exactly been lighting it up this season anyway. Through nine games, the veteran tight end has zero top-15 finishes at his position and has not caught a regular-season touchdown since Week 11 of 2023. But due to his high snap count and injuries to Houston's receivers, he's still playable as a bye-week fill-in or in formats that play more than one tight end.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz finished Thursday night's 21-13 loss at the New York Jets with three catches for 21 yards. The Texans targeted the veteran tight end six times, which ranked second only to wide receiver Tank Dell, but completed just 11 of their 31 passing attempts on the night. Schultz now has failed to hit 30 yards receiving in six of nine games and still does not have a touchdown yet this season. He'll look for a long-awaited breakout in a solid matchup against Detroit in Week 10.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz's role as a receiver took a major hit in the offseason, but injuries could change that in Week 9 against the New York Jets. Houston will be without their first and second options on Thursday, as wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) will be out at least another week and Stefon Diggs (knee) will miss the rest of the season. More targets might be on the way for the big tight end, who is a disappointing 25th among fantasy tight ends so far. The Jets are a tough matchup, ranking ninth against tight ends, though Schultz is coming off his best receiving yardage total of the season (52) last week. He's still a TE2 option, albeit with some upside under the circumstances.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz had a season-best 52 receiving yards on four catches in a 23-20 win against the Indianapolis Colts. The Texans targeted the big tight end six times, which was tied for second on the team. The Stanford product could temporarily assume an even bigger role in the Houston passing game, as receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) left the game with a non-contact injury. The Texans are currently without top receiver Nico Collins (hamstring), who is on injured reserve. Fantasy managers will have to monitor injury statuses ahead of Schultz and the Texans taking on the New York Jets in Week 9.
Oct 27, 2024 5:13 PM EST
On one hand, Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has one of his best matchups of the season against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. On the other, it has been pretty difficult for fantasy managers to trust the veteran tight end. The former Dallas Cowboy has not finished as a top-15 fantasy tight end in any week this season, and he is now coming off a season-low one catch on two targets last week. The Colts rank among the bottom five against fantasy tight ends, though Schultz had just three catches for 16 yards in the first meeting in Week 1. He should be considered a TE2 despite the enticing matchup.
Oct 25, 2024 6:22 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz started his day with a first-quarter catch for 28 yards, but that accounted for all of his receiving production in a 24-22 loss at Green Bay. The 28-year-old tight end actually led the team in receiving, but only because Houston threw for a paltry 86 passing yards against the Packers. Schultz was targeted just twice in the game, his lowest total of the 2024 season thus far. The veteran will look for a better day in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts.
Oct 20, 2024 4:50 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is a fringe starter with some target volume upside in Week 7 at Green Bay. The 28-year-old has been among the letdown draft picks at tight end, ranking 25th at the position through six games. However, the Stanford product still remains a playable option with top Houston receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve. The Texans have targeted Schultz 14 times in the past two games, and Green Bay ranks 28th against fantasy tight ends. If there were ever a time to break his touchdown drought 11 straight regular-season games without a score this week would be a good candidate.
Oct 18, 2024 1:14 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is a playable option with a decent matchup in Week 6 against the New England Patriots. The 28-year-old has had a disappointing fantasy season so far, but the silver lining is that his target percentage has gone up three weeks in a row and he's still an every-down player, averaging nearly 87% of Houston snaps. Further, Houston's targets leader, receiver Nico Collins, is now on injured reserve. At this stage, fantasy managers have to be realistic with their expectations for the former Dallas Cowboy: he'll play most of the game and earn a handful of targets on a good offense, but he's dependent on touchdowns for game-changing weeks.
Oct 11, 2024 1:44 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz enters Week 5 against Buffalo coming off his most productive game of the season, albeit for just three catches and 34 receiving yards. The veteran tight end is still playing a ton of snaps for Houston nearly 84% but he hasn't been the pass-catching option fantasy managers had hoped thus far. However, Buffalo blitzes less than any team in the league and Houston's backfield has been impacted by injuries, possibly opening the door for a higher volume of short-yardage throws that could benefit a tight end. Still, Schultz has been tough to trust in a Texans offense with many mouths to feed.
Oct 4, 2024 12:09 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz hauled in three passes for 34 yards on five targets in his team's 24-20 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Frustratingly, Schultz was close to scoring the game-winning touchdown, but was brought down at the two-yard line before the Texans eventually scored. The former Dallas Cowboy has been the odd man out next to a talented receiving corps, sitting in fourth place on the team in targets. The tight end will look for better when Houston plays host to Buffalo in Week 5.

The frustrating tight-end landscape this season certainly has extended to Dalton Schultz of the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old ranks a woeful 34th among fantasy tight ends through three weeks, nowhere near the production expected for a player drafted to be a possible starter. However, things could be looking up for the Stanford man, who faces his best matchup of the season with the Jacksonville Jaguars coming to Houston in Week 4. The Texans have played back-to-back tough offensive games against Chicago and Minnesota, but the Jags have allowed an NFL-worst 497 yards after the catch. Schultz is a low-end TE1, high-end TE2 play who could benefit if Houston has a big passing day.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's PR department. It's worth noting that the lingering ankle issue impacted Schultz's practice status last week, too, but that didn't stop him from playing a season-high 96 percent of snaps on Sunday afternoon. He now has a modest seven catches, 48 yards, and zero touchdowns through three games this season. His reduced productivity could be the result of an offense that has become even more crowded following the offseason addition of Stefon Diggs. For now, Schultz is a mid-to-low fantasy TE2.
Sep 26, 2024 12:30 AM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) was able to practice in full on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant for the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Even though Schultz is on the Week 3 injury report, his return to a full practice on Thursday should pave the way for him to be active this Sunday to take on the 2-0 Minnesota Vikings. There are a lot of mouths to feed through the air in this Houston offense, and Schultz has only garnered six targets through two games, hauling in five of them for 37 yards and no touchdowns. The slow start has pushed him down to TE2 territory in fantasy, but the Week 3 matchup against the Vikings could put him in play to have his best game of the early 2024 campaign. The Vikings defense has allowed the fifth-most half-PPR fantasy points to the tight end position through two games.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) fully practiced on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday Night Football's showdown against the Chicago Bears. He has been dealing with an ankle injury this week but is all systems go for Sunday night. The 28-year-old played nearly 80 percent of Houston's snaps last week, an encouraging sign for someone in the low-end TE1 range. However, with just three targets, he was tied for fourth on the team with running back Joe Mixon. The former Dallas Cowboy was behind receivers Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs, and Tank Dell in the pecking order in Week 1. Schultz has three red flags two red-zone targets in his past eight games, heavy competition for targets, and an injury that should have fantasy managers exploring other options for a tight end streamer.
Sep 13, 2024 5:10 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) picked up an injury during Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 28-year-old has missed practice each of the last two days. It's now being announced that Schultz is dealing with an ankle sprain. The good news is that the injury isn't considered severe, so Schultz should be able to suit up in Week 2. There is still a chance for Schultz to practice on Friday, which would give him a better chance of playing this weekend. Otherwise, Brevin Jordan and Cade Stover would likely split up the reps. Neither player is an ideal streaming option if Schultz is forced out of action.
Sep 12, 2024 9:16 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz's (ankle) was held out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday, putting his status up in the air for the Week 2 tilt at home against the visiting Chicago Bears. Schultz will likely have to suit up in some capacity at Friday's practice to avoid being ruled out entirely. The 28-year-old caught all three of his targets for only 16 receiving yards in a disappointing first game in the Week 1 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts as well. As things stand right now, he is shaping up as a very shaky TE1/2 for fantasy managers against a tough defense this weekend. If Schultz is out on Sunday or limited on offense, the Texans would be forced to turn to some combination of Brevin Jordan and Cade Stover at the position. Fantasy managers looking for a TE streamer would be better off looking elsewhere.
Sep 12, 2024 6:12 PM EST
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury. Apparently Schultz is a little gimpy after the team's Week 1 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts. The 28-year-old played a healthy 79 percent of the team's offensive snaps but disappointed his fantasy managers in the season opener by catching all three of his targets for just 16 yards. His status for the rest of the week should now closely be monitored, and he could head into Sunday's Week 2 game against the visiting Chicago Bears with an injury designation. Schultz is on the TE1/2 borderline most weeks given all the mouths to feed in Houston's passing game. If Schultz's injury is too serious for him to play this weekend, Brevin Jordan would most likely take his spot as the top pass-catching tight end for the Texans on Sunday.
