Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Jake Ferguson

Saturday, October 4, 11:53 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz continues to be a reliable but unspectacular producer in his team's offense, but he does bring some value as a PPR play against the Ravens this week, since quarterback C.J. Stroud continues to lean heavily on him to keep the chains moving. Schultz tied for the team lead with six targets last week and posted a team-high five catches. He only managed 30 yards, though, with his longest play going for nine yards. This season, he has at least three catches in every game but has only totaled 126 yards on his 16 catches. His volume of catches can make him a fill-in play with a high floor as we hit the bye weeks, but his ceiling is limited since his routes are usually short. In RotoBaller's Week 5 projections, Schultz is the No. 15 TE, making him startable in an emergency situation in most formats, even though he doesn't have an elite ceiling.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson recorded seven catches for 49 yards and two touchdowns on nine targets in his team's 37-22 Week 5 win over the New York Jets. Ferguson continues to produce like one of the best tight ends in the NFL in 2025. Through five games, the 26-year-old has hauled in 41 catches for 272 yards and three touchdowns on 48 targets. Ferguson looks like a must-start player at the tight end position heading into a juicy Week 6 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
