Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Pat Freiermuth

Monday, November 10, 2:13 PM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz caught seven of 11 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in the team's improbable Week 10 win over the Jaguars. In Davis Mills' first start since 2022, only Nico Collins demanded a higher target share. Schultz has now caught at least five passes for 50+ yards in four of his last five games, proving himself to be an important piece of the Texans' passing offense, regardless of who is under center. While Sunday's fourth-quarter touchdown was his first of the season, he's been able to provide a reliable floor on volume alone. With C.J. Stroud one week further along in the concussion protocol, Shultz remains in the streaming conversation in another divisional matchup with the Titans in Week 11. And should Stroud be sidelined for one more week, fantasy managers should feel reassured by Schultz's early chemistry with Mills.

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth caught all three of his targets for 33 yards in a Week 10 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. It remains difficult to predict weekly involvement for Pittsburgh's tight ends, but all of them could find success against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 11. When these two teams met in Week 7, Freiermuth, Jonnu Smith, and Darnell Washington each found the end zone. The Bengals have allowed the most fantasy points and touchdowns to tight ends this season, and Freiermuth has historically torched them. In nine career games versus Cincinnati, he has totaled six touchdowns while averaging over seven targets, five receptions, and 66 yards per contest. Though far from a reliable fantasy starter, Freiermuth can be streamed in a pinch and considered in DFS lineups this Sunday.
