Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Elijah Arroyo

Saturday, October 18, 9:06 PM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a solid PPR producer over the last few weeks, but he isn't a great option against the Seahawks in the second game of the doubleheader on Monday Night Football. Schultz has 21 catches on 27 targets for 186 receiving yards this season, with at least three catches in each of his five games this season. He posted a season-high 60 yards in Week 5 after being held under 40 yards in his first four games, but he still hasn't found the end zone. He has exactly five catches in each of his last three games, giving him a high floor, since he does get so many consistent targets. Even with Christian Kirk (hamstring) out for this game, Schultz's upside is limited in Houston's current offense, which is why Schultz is the TE27 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings. He's a low-end option in most formats this week, even though the Seahawks have been a top-10 matchup for tight ends this season.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo has seen his snap share increase in each of the first four weeks of the 2025 NFL season, and he could continue to get even more involved in Week 5 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The rookie is coming off the best week of his young career, in which he caught two of four targets for 44 yards on a 55 percent snap share. With that said, he's still the No. 2 tight end in Seattle behind AJ Barner, who has two touchdowns this season and has played at least 85 percent of the snaps in three of four games. Nevertheless, even with Barner present, Arroyo has shown that he can carve out a modest role for himself -- and perhaps start to generate some low-end fantasy appeal in deeper leagues, too. This could be a decent week for Arroyo as the Buccaneers' defense is merely near the middle of the league, allowing the 16th-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2025.
