Dalton Schultz Only a Deep-League Option in Week 9

Saturday, November 7, 3:08 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a steady but unspectacular PPR producer this season. He had a massive, 12-catch performance in Week 2, but with the team adding pass-catching options since then, he has played a smaller role. He has 33 catches for 322 yards in seven games, with at least three catches in all but one game this season. In Week 7, he had five catches for 45 yards against the Giants, but he still has not found the end zone this season. After the bye, he'll go on the road to face the Chargers, who have been one of the better teams in the league at defending TEs. This season, the Bolts have allowed just one tight-end touchdown, so it's hard to count on Schultz to break through for a score this week. He is RotoBaller's No. 21 TE in the Week 9 rankings, making him worth considering as a starter in two-tight end formats or desperate situations.

Chig Okonkwo a Rising Asset After Productive Week 9 Outing

Monday, November 9, 5:20 AM

Washington tight end Chig Okonkwo put together another solid performance in Week 9, so he should gain some more fantasy football value going into Week 10. He caught six of his seven targets this week, racking up 57 receiving yards. Okonkwo has three or more targets in all six games he's played in this season, but has produced more of late, with 57 or more receiving yards in three of his past four appearances. Okonkwo has yet to find the end zone this season, so that holds him back from being an even bigger fantasy option. With wide receiver Terry McLaurin (knee) no longer around, Okonkwo has a chance to remain as involved as he's been these past few weeks, and that makes him a deep-league starting option and a possible standard league streamer.
