Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Colston Loveland

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.

Chicago Bears rookie tight end Colston Loveland (hip) is not expected to play in Week 4 against the Las Vegas Raiders due to a hip injury, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Loveland is off to a slow start to his NFL career, recording just three catches for 43 yards on six targets through three games. In his absence, veteran Bears tight end Cole Kmet could see more playing time in Week 4. Kmet has four catches for 70 yards and a touchdown on seven targets so far in 2025. He still profiles outside the fantasy top-12 at tight end, but Kmet could be a decent streaming option in Week 4.
