Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (back/shoulder) was limited in practice this week, but does not have an injury designation for Week 8. The veteran tight end will likely be a big part of the passing game with Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) both ruled out. Last week, Schultz had a season-high nine catches for 98 yards against the Seahawks, and he has at least five catches in four straight games. He's a solid PPR contributor even though he is averaging under 10 yards per catch on the year and hasn't found the end zone yet this season. Schultz is the TE11 in RotoBaller's Week 8 rankings, and he can be a great bye-week fill-in as a fringe TE1 this week, with both a high ceiling and a high floor since he should be lined up for plenty of volume.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson has quickly become one of quarterback Dak Prescott's favorite targets in the passing game, and it didn't hurt that he wore his QB's high-school jersey to the stadium as a show of good faith. In the 44-22 blowout victory over the Washington Commanders in Week 7 on Sunday, Ferguson caught all seven of his targets for only 29 yards, but he found the end zone twice to bring his season total to six. In a high-volume Cowboys passing offense, the 26-year-old has developed some nice chemistry with Prescott this year. Ferguson has exactly seven receptions in three of the last four weeks, and all six of his touchdowns on the season have come in the last four games. His ceiling will likely be lowered now that top wideout CeeDee Lamb has returned from a high-ankle sprain, but Ferguson's red-zone prowess should continue, making him a weekly TE1 for fantasy managers in what has been a high-scoring offense.
