Dalton Schultz News
Tuesday, June 16, 8:30 AM
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz put together a very solid season in 2025, recording 82 catches for 777 yards and three touchdowns on 106 targets across 17 games. However, there are reasons to doubt that Schultz will match his production in 2026 and beyond. For one, Schultz is highly reliant on target volume for production, as he's averaged just seven yards per target for his career. Additionally, the Texans selected tight end Marlin Klein in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, signed veteran tight end Foster Moreau in free agency, and should get a healthier season out of tight end Cade Stover, who missed eight games with a foot injury in 2025. Houston also has a pair of up-and-coming young wide receivers in Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. All in all, Schultz's role in Houston's passing game is likely to shrink as he enters his age-30 season. Dynasty managers should be looking to sell high on Schultz ahead of 2026.

Kyle Pitts Sr. News
Tuesday, June 23, 2:58 PM
Tight end Kyle Pitts and the Atlanta Falcons agreed to a three-year, $54 million contract extension on Tuesday that includes $36 million fully guaranteed, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. It's the largest three-year contract for a tight end in NFL history. Pitts gets a massive extension after breaking out for 88 receptions (118 targets) for 928 yards and a career-high five touchdowns in 17 starts in his fifth year in Atlanta. The former fourth overall pick in the 2021 NFL draft out of the University of Florida had 1,026 receiving yards in his first NFL season, but it came with just one touchdown, and he continued to disappoint fantasy managers the following three seasons with nine combined touchdown receptions in 44 games played. Pitts is now the third-highest-paid TE in the NFL behind George Kittle and Trey McBride in terms of annual average salary. While Pitts is a clear top-10 fantasy tight end going into 2026, fantasy managers who have been burned by him before recognize the bust potential, especially with the Falcons' uncertain QB position between Tua Tagovailoa and Michael Penix Jr. (knee).
