Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Chig Okonkwo

Saturday, November 8, 5:45 AM

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.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo caught two passes for 10 yards on two targets in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. Okonkwo was active despite being limited in practice with a foot injury most of the week. The 26-year-old has fallen short of three targets on two occasions over the last three weeks. On Sunday, Okonkwo was limited to five yards per reception, the third-lowest this season. Okonkwo has only finished as a top-eight tight end once through the first nine weeks and still hasn't scored a touchdown this year. The Titans are heading into a crucial bye week that could lead to changes aimed at improving their offense. Managers should consider benching Okonkwo after the bye week, when the Titans host the Houston Texans in Week 11.
