Dalton Schultz Is a Fringe TE2 against the Titans

Friday, September 26, 8:06 PM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been getting more work the last few weeks, and he is a fringe top-20 option this week. He and the Texans are looking for their first win of the year as they host the also winless Tennessee Titans. After his backup Cade Stover's injury in Week 1, Schultz played 59% of snaps in Week 2 and 79% of snaps in Week 3. He set season highs in targets (6), catches (5), and receiving yards (39) in that contest, and he does have some PPR usage if you're desperate for production from the position. Schultz is the TE21 in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, meaning there are much stronger options to consider. If you are looking ahead for a bye-week fill-in or need an emergency starter, though, Schultz does have the potential to be a decent option against the Titans, who have allowed tight ends to total 13 catches for 115 yards in their three games this season.

Chig Okonkwo an Appealing TE2 Amidst Consistent Start to Season

Saturday, September 27, 12:32 AM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo remains a consistent target for quarterback Cameron Ward heading into a Week 4 matchup against the Houston Texans. Okonkwo has 12 targets and nine catches over his last two games, ranking as the overall TE9 in PPR leagues during that span. The Maryland product is both a reliable outlet for Ward and a strong candidate to pick up extra yards after the catch. He's less appealing around the goal line, as he hasn't scored a touchdown this season and has just six scores through 54 career games. Nevertheless, he has shown that he can have some low-end fantasy value even when he's not breaking into the end zone. That should remain the case this week against the Texans, who have ranked near the middle of the league with the 14th-most receptions and 13th-fewest fantasy points allowed to tight ends. Okonkwo is a top-18 fantasy tight end with top-12 upside.
