Dalton Schultz Can Be an Emergency Option in Week 13

Saturday, November 29, 5:37 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been very busy this season and emerged as a PPR contributor in his team's passing attack. Last week against the Bills, he only had one catch, snapping a streak of 10 straight games with multiple receptions to start the season. He had at least six catches in three straight games before last Thursday's letdown, and he'll look to bounce back in Week 13 as the Texans head to Indianapolis to face the Colts in a divisional matchup. The Colts have been a favorable matchup for tight ends, and Schultz will get C.J. Stroud back at QB after he missed three weeks with a concussion. Stroud and Schultz have a strong connection, which is enough to make Schultz the No. 13 TE in the RotoBaller Week 13 rankings. He's not quite a "must-start" in this matchup, but he definitely makes a strong option in 12-team leagues or if you need some help at the position due to injury or ineffectiveness of the other options available this week.

Jayden Higgins Quietly Carving Out Role in Texans' Passing Attack

Thursday, December 4, 10:58 AM

Houston Texans rookie wide receiver Jayden Higgins has quietly built a fantasy starting role in recent weeks. In the past four games, Higgins has hauled in 20 of 28 targets for 200 yards and two touchdowns, including his career high in yardage in Week 13 with C.J. Stroud back under center. While star receiver Nico Collins will continue to handle the bulk of the targets in Houston, Higgins has been a sturdy option as well. The Texans face the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 14, who just allowed big games to George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb in Week 13. Higgins is a low-end starting option against the defending AFC champions.
