Dalton Schultz News
Friday, October 23, 1:26 PM
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (quadriceps) was on the injury report this week, but he upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 7 game against the visiting New York Giants. Even with four teams on bye again for the second straight week, the 30-year-old veteran is a somewhat uninteresting tight end streamer against the Giants. He has lost some snaps to Foster Moreau recently, with Moreau catching two touchdown passes in last week's win over the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Schultz caught four of six targets for 33 yards in Week 6 and has not gone over 35 receiving yards since his Week 2 explosion against the Cincinnati Bengals, when he caught 12 of 14 targets for 140 yards. Disclaimer: The Week 2 game was when top receiver Nico Collins sat out with an injury. Schultz is still looking for his first touchdown of the season going into Week 7. Treat him as a touchdown-dependent TE2 against the G-Men.

Noah Fant News
Monday, October 5, 3:48 PM
New Orleans Saints tight end Noah Fant (abdomen) is officially inactive for the Monday night game against the division-rival Atlanta Falcons to close out Week 4 action, according to Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football. The 28-year-old was limited in practice Thursday through Saturday, but it was not enough to convince the coaching staff that he was ready to play against the Falcons. Fant scored a touchdown in the season opener and caught all four of his targets for 33 yards and two more touchdowns in last week's loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. However, in three games played going into Monday's contest, he has only eight receptions on 12 targets for 66 yards through the air as the clear No. 2 tight end in New Orleans behind Juwan Johnson, who has been a target hog in the early going in the Saints' offense. With Fant sidelined on Monday, Oscar Delp and Treyton Welch will battle for scraps at the position behind Johnson. At best, Fant is a touchdown-dependent TE2 for fantasy managers in deeper leagues when he is healthy.
