Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Elijah Arroyo

Sunday, September 14, 7:06 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has the potential for a big workload in Week 2, when his team hosts the Buccaneers on Monday Night Football. Schultz tied for the team lead with five targets in Week 1, and his backup tight end, Cade Stover, had four more targets. C.J. Stroud's lack of reliable protection forced him to check down to his tight ends early and often against the Rams. As a result, Schultz hauled in three catches for 28 yards for the Texans' struggling offense against the Rams, while Stover caught all four of his targets for 22 yards. However, Stover also suffered a broken foot and will be out indefinitely, potentially leaving even more work for Schultz. Against the Bucs, Schultz is the No. 18 TE in the RotoBaller rankings, and he can be an emergency starter or TE2 in most standard-sized leagues this week.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo is not worth rostering, let alone starting in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Arroyo played just 31% of the snaps in Week 1. He is going to take time to work into the offense. The athletic and talented young rookie has a chance to push for more touches as the season wears on, but he is squarely behind AJ Barner in the tight end pecking order. However, each week fantasy managers should keep an eye on his snap share. If that rises, a substantial role in the offense will be predictable. Until then, he is better left on waivers.
