Dalton Schultz News
Friday, July 10, 6:48 AM
Across 17 games in 2025, Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz recorded 82 catches for 777 yards and three touchdowns on 106 targets. Schultz's steady production was enough for him to finish as the TE13 by per-game PPR scoring, and he finished the year by scoring double-digit PPR points in five out of Houston's final seven games. However, Schultz may struggle to repeat his strong performance in 2026. Given his lack of big-play ability (career average of 7.0 yards per target), Schultz is reliant on steady target volume for fantasy production. Houston added veteran tight end Foster Moreau in free agency, selected tight end Max Klare in the second round of the 2026 draft, and should get a healthier season in 2026 out of tight end Cade Stover. Additionally, the Texans have a pair of up-and-coming young wide receivers in Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel who could feature more heavily in the team's passing game this year. As he enters his age-30 season, Schultz profiles as a sell-high candidate for dynasty managers.

Cole Kmet News
Sunday, June 21, 5:50 AM
Despite leading the team in total snaps at the position, by the end of the 2025 season, Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet had clearly been overtaken by rookie Colston Loveland. With Chicago operating out of multi-tight end sets at one of the league's highest rates, Kmet is still expected to be a major part of the team's base offense in 2026, but from a fantasy perspective, he is now well behind Loveland and an exciting pair of young receivers in Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III. An incredibly durable player throughout his six-year career, Kmet finished as the TE7 in both 2022 and 2023 on the strength of full availability and 13 touchdown receptions over those two years, but he has not since reached 50 receptions or 500 yards. Still only 27 years old, he remains a dynasty hold for his unique insurance upside, but under contract for two more seasons, RotoBaller's TE50 will not reach free agency and a potentially beneficial change of scenery until 2028.
