Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Elijah Arroyo

Saturday, November 8, 5:45 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a solid PPR producer this season, and his high volume of targets on short passes gives him a high floor again this week against the Jaguars. The Jaguars have given up the second-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season, and Schultz has turned his 6.0 targets into 4.8 catches per game, although only for 48.1 yards per game and no touchdowns. Schultz has at least five catches in five of his last six games after hauling in six catches for 77 yards last week against Denver. He hasn't hit 100 yards or found the end zone, but his consistent involvement makes him a bye-week or injury fill-in option or a strong second tight end. He's the No. 19 TE this week in RotoBaller's rankings and is a little higher-risk with Davis Mills replacing C.J. Stroud, but Schultz has been consistently involved enough to still bring upside in this favorable matchup.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo recorded four catches for 42 yards on five targets in his team's Week 7 win over the Houston Texans. That marked just the second time Arroyo has eclipsed 40 receiving yards in a game this season. Overall, he's recorded 11 catches for 140 yards on 17 targets across the first seven games of his NFL career. Arroyo appears to be firmly behind AJ Barner on the Seahawks' tight end depth chart, as his snap counts have been closer to Seattle TE3 Eric Saubert's than Barner's. As long as that continues, Arroyo is unlikely to be a consistently fantasy-relevant player.
