Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Daniel Bellinger

Saturday, October 25, 1:57 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (back, shoulder) has been removed from the final report after logging a full practice on Friday. He will play in Sunday's Week 8 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Schultz has emerged as a top weapon for C.J. Stroud in the Texans' offense, commanding 28 targets over his last four games, including 10 in Week 7. Over his last two games, he has 14 catches and 158 yards, moving him to the overall TE18 ranking in PPR leagues this year. Schultz continues to have top-12 tight end upside as long as he handles a significant target share every week. He should continue to impress in a negative game script this week against the 49ers, who have allowed the 13th-most receptions to opposing tight ends in 2025.

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger delivered the best performance of his NFL career in Week 7, hauling in three receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown. Bellinger's production has noticeably climbed since the team turned to Jaxson Dart at quarterback and lost star wideout Malik Nabers to a Torn ACL. Since Week 4, the Giants have leaned heavily on 12 personnel (two-TE sets), ranking among the league leaders in usage. Both Bellinger and rookie Theo Johnson have logged over 50% of the offensive snaps in three consecutive games, including last week, where they each played over 65%. While New York's brutal schedule has limited consistency, Bellinger's emergence is a bright spot. He'll face a tough challenge in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have surrendered the fourth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. Bellinger isn't fantasy relevant just yet, but if this upward trend continues, he could work his way onto the fantasy radar in deeper leagues.
