Dalton Schultz Could See a Reduced Role in Houston in 2026

Wednesday, April 15, 4:50 PM

Across 17 games in 2025, Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz recorded 82 receptions for 777 yards and three touchdowns on 106 targets. The 29-year-old's production surge came as a bit of a surprise, as he posted three consecutive seasons with fewer than 60 receptions and 90 targets from 2022 through 2024. Still, despite the bump in volume, Schultz's fantasy upside is limited by his lack of explosiveness. He averaged fewer than 10 yards per reception in 2025 and has never averaged more than 10.8 yards per catch in any of his eight NFL seasons. Schultz's 2025 production was also boosted by the absence of fellow Texans tight end Cade Stover, who missed eight games with a foot injury. Schultz maintains some fantasy value as a high-floor PPR streamer, but his dynasty upside remains capped heading into 2026.

Colston Loveland News

Could Colston Loveland Emerge as the Dynasty TE1?

Wednesday, April 15, 6:02 AM

Chicago Bears tight end Colston Loveland finished his rookie season as the TE12 after taking over as a full-time starter midway through the year. From Week 9 through the end of the season, he trailed only Trey McBride in total fantasy points at the position, but it was his performance in the playoffs that has many calling for a superstar turn. After earning an already obscene 22 targets across his final two regular-season games, Loveland saw 25 looks in the Bears' two playoff games, accounting for nearly a 30% postseason target share on a team with three highly regarded wide receivers. DJ Moore has since been traded to the Bills, leaving Loveland to battle for opportunities with Rome Odunze and Luther Burden III in what should be a pass-heavy Chicago offense. While McBride and Brock Bowers each face considerably less competition, neither is attached to a quarterback with the upside of Caleb Williams, and as an early-declare in 2025, Loveland enters his second season at only 22 years old and has the most room for improvement.
