Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Cade Otton

Monday, December 8, 12:24 PM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz corralled 3-of-4 targets for 22 yards in his team's 20-10 win over the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday Night Football. The veteran -- along with the rest of Houston's pass-catchers sans Nico Collins -- couldn't find much room to operate against the hosting Chiefs in Week 14. In spite of the aerial attack's poor performance, Schultz remained involved, placing second on the team in catches and third in yards and targets. Rookie Jayden Higgins' ascension caps the former's weekly upside, but there's still some PPR appeal here on a squad that ranks eleventh in overall pass rate (58.23%). Even with Sunday's lowly fantasy output, the 29-year-old had recorded at least five catches and six looks in eight of his last 11 appearances. He's a stable option ahead of Week 15's waivers.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton (knee) was listed as a non-participant for the team's walkthrough practice on Monday, according to Greg Auman of FOX Sports. Otton didn't appear to get hurt in Sunday's upset loss to the New Orleans Saints, but his Week 15 status is worth watching over the next two days before a Thursday night showdown against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons. Otton caught three of his four targets for 19 yards on Sunday. The 26-year-old hasn't gone over 30 receiving yards in a game since a season-high 82-yard performance in the loss to the New England Patriots on Nov. 9. He also has yet to score in 2025. Otton has two more chances to return to practice, but even if he's active, he'll be more of a TE2 option for fantasy managers against Atlanta, especially if receivers Mike Evans (collarbone) and Jalen McMillan (neck) are able to return.
