Dalton Schultz Only a Deep-League Option in Week 9

Saturday, November 7, 3:08 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a steady but unspectacular PPR producer this season. He had a massive, 12-catch performance in Week 2, but with the team adding pass-catching options since then, he has played a smaller role. He has 33 catches for 322 yards in seven games, with at least three catches in all but one game this season. In Week 7, he had five catches for 45 yards against the Giants, but he still has not found the end zone this season. After the bye, he'll go on the road to face the Chargers, who have been one of the better teams in the league at defending TEs. This season, the Bolts have allowed just one tight-end touchdown, so it's hard to count on Schultz to break through for a score this week. He is RotoBaller's No. 21 TE in the Week 9 rankings, making him worth considering as a starter in two-tight end formats or desperate situations.

Mason Taylor Offers PPR Streaming Value Against Kansas City

Saturday, November 7, 6:49 AM

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor (back) has drawn at least 5 targets in three straight games and could see more work Sunday at Kansas City with Garrett Wilson (concussion) out. Taylor practiced fully Thursday and Friday after being limited Wednesday and carries no game designation. His 5 catches for 62 yards and 2 touchdowns against Miami in Week 7 were followed by 3 catches for 19 yards against Las Vegas. The Chiefs have allowed 48 catches, 459 yards and 5 touchdowns to tight ends in seven games, a matchup that puts Taylor in play as a streamer in 12-team PPR leagues. Denver tight ends Adam Trautman and Nate Adkins combined for 4 catches, 34 yards and a touchdown against Kansas City in Week 8, while Evan Engram went catchless on 3 targets. New York also rotates at the position. Taylor drew 5 targets to Kenyon Sadiq's 2 against Las Vegas, but their playing time was closer, with Taylor logging 39 offensive snaps and Sadiq playing 31. That target edge gives Taylor a better chance to help PPR managers even if the two continue to share playing time.
