Dalton Schultz News

Dalton Schultz is a Low-End TE2 against Seattle

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.

Justin Fields to Lose Starting Job After Week 7 Benching?

Monday, October 20, 10:59 AM

ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn "hasn't decided on his QB" going forward after the team's miserable 13-6 loss to the Carolina Panthers in Week 7. The Jets are 0-7 on the season and have not scored a touchdown in either of their last two games. Starting quarterback Justin Fields was benched midway through Week 7 and has thrown for 845 yards and four touchdowns across six starts so far this season. Veteran quarterback Tyrod Taylor took over for Fields against Carolina and completed 10 of 22 pass attempts for 126 yards, zero touchdowns, and two interceptions. The Jets have a favorable matchup on paper in Week 8 against the Cincinnati Bengals, but could once again be without star wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee). If he remains the starter, Fields maintains some fantasy appeal due to his rushing ability (257 rushing yards, three touchdowns this season). If the 36-year-old Taylor takes over, he will be tough for fantasy managers to trust, even in two-quarterback formats.
