Dalton Schultz News
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.

Sam LaPorta News
Sunday, November 8, 2:28 PM
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught four of his five targets for 32 yards during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins. It was another modest showing from LaPorta, who has now posted single-digit PPR points in all three games since the Lions' bye week. This can certainly be chalked up as a dud performance, but in his defense, he and Amon-Ra St. Brown were the only Lions players with more than two receptions, as Detroit's offense ran the ball quite often on Sunday. The Lions will return home to host the Patriots in Week 1, and a potentially more pass-heavy game script should give LaPorta an opportunity to bounce back as a TE1, at least. He is searching for his first 35-plus-yard game since Week 5, which is also the last time he scored a touchdown.
