Dalton Schultz Could Be Busy in Week 2

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.

Isaiah Likely News

Isaiah Likely on the Practice Field on Thursday

Thursday, September 18, 1:52 PM

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) is on the practice field for the team's first practice of the week on Thursday, according to Bo Smolka of Press Box. Likely will probably be listed as limited, but it's a good sign that he's making progress after being limited last Friday. The 25-year-old is probably facing an uphill battle to be active on Monday night in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions, but he's getting closer to making his 2025 debut. If you're not stoked on your TE options in fantasy, Likely is worth a pickup now if he's available in your league's waiver wire. Fellow tight end Mark Andrews has been uncharacteristically quiet in two games with Likely sidelined, catching only two of his four targets for seven yards, with the Ravens scoring over 40 points in both of their games. With Andrews struggling, Likely could certainly take over TE1 duties in Baltimore once he's back to full strength.
