Dalton Schultz Posts Another Subpar Performance

Sunday, October 4, 9:48 PM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz caught both his targets for nine yards in Sunday's 34-30 home loss to the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran entered Week 4's contest leading Houston in receptions (19), yards (205), and targets (25), but was vastly outperformed by Nico Collins and the wide receiver corps on a day when C.J. Stroud threw for 347 yards. Much of Schultz's production on the season stems from a monster 12-catch, 140-yard outburst against the Bengals in Week 2, and it's looking like that's the aberration for the 2026 campaign -- particularly with Collins back in the picture in his usual target-hog role. The 30-year-old will always be a fringy option at tight end, but his fantasy floor and ceiling take a hit as Houston's WR1 returns to full health. Next up, the Texans face a divisional meeting with the Titans on the road.

Colston Loveland Still Seeking Breakout

Saturday, October 3, 6:37 AM

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland looks to get his season going in Sunday's home matchup with the New York Jets. After three games, the second-year pro is bordering on outright bust territory following a summer when his breakout was heralded as a foregone conclusion. Loveland isn't all to blame, as the Week 1 game script and an injury to starting quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) in Week 2 have contributed to his lagging production. However, the concern of too many mouths to feed in Chicago's attack has rung true. Moreover, the emergence of veteran Kalif Raymond is an unaccounted-for added variable that's made the passing pie smaller than initially anticipated. Loveland still looks like an integral part of the Bears' offense. For now, though, fantasy managers can't bank on the lofty preseason expectations once held for the 22-year-old. Owners can treat Loveland as a fringy TE1 and, officially, RotoBaller's PPR TE11 for the game against New York.
