Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Jalen Hurts

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.

Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts now has multiple touchdowns in each of his last four games, scoring both on the ground and through the air last Thursday against the Giants. In Week 7 Hurts has a tougher challenge with a Vikings team sporting the second-best pass defense in the league, allowing just 157.6 yards per game. Philly is hungry for a victory after suffering back-to-back losses, so expect their offense to be full throttle. Plus, the chemistry between Hurts and his lead receiver A.J. Brown seems to have been mostly restored. Despite a daunting matchup, Hurts is still worthy of a solid QB1 slot.
