Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Darnell Washington

Saturday, December 6, 6:46 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is a solid fill-in or streaming play when he visits the Chiefs on Sunday Night Football if you're searching for a solution at the position this week. Schultz hasn't been an elite option this year, but he has posted very steady numbers, especially in PPR leagues. The eighth-year veteran caught seven of his eight targets for 55 yards in Week 13 against the Colts and has at least six catches in four of his last five games. He is up to 59 catches for 552 yards and one touchdown on the season, and he has been a steady contributor of targets and catches this year, even though his yardage totals have been fairly mediocre. Schultz is the No. 15 TE in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 14, making him a fringe starting option this week against the Chiefs, who have been solid against TE this season.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Darnell Washington led the team in receiving yards last week and should remain involved against the Baltimore Ravens in Week 14. While the Ravens have been solid against opposing tight ends this season, Washington's blend of size and athleticism may be important for Pittsburgh to keep pace with its division rival. The third-year pro has emerged as a reliable option for quarterback Aaron Rodgers (wrist) and leads all Steelers tight ends in yards after catch and red zone targets. That said, projecting usage remains tricky with Washington sharing snaps alongside Jonnu Smith and Pat Freiermuth. He's not a viable option in most redraft formats, but desperate fantasy managers in deeper leagues can consider streaming him in this AFC North clash.
