Dalton Schultz In Line for More Targets After Higgins Injury

Wednesday, August 19, 6:42 PM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz could see more targets after the devastating injury to wide receiver Jayden Higgins. Higgins suffered a torn ACL during their joint practice with the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday, ending his season before it began. Higgins was having a fantastic training camp and was shaping up for a big year, but targets will now shift to other weapons. Schultz has had over 85 targets in each of the last six seasons, including a career-high 106 targets with Higgins healthy last season. Schultz has a legitimate shot to be the second-highest target-getter in Houston behind star wideout Nico Collins, with Tank Dell (knee) expected to be limited in the early portion of the season. Ranked as the TE23 in RotoBaller's positional rankings, Schultz is currently a great value in fantasy drafts and could easily surpass the 106 targets he had in the 2025 season.

Terrance Ferguson Held Out of Practice, Works on Side

Tuesday, August 25, 11:34 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson did not participate in Tuesday's practice, though he was doing workouts off to the side, according to Nate Atkins. Ferguson had been putting together a strong summer before the absence, including two red-zone touchdowns during last week's joint practice with New Orleans. The Rams have also been expanding what they ask him to do in the passing game and moving him around the formation. Ferguson flashed that playmaking ability on limited opportunities as a rookie, catching 11 passes for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games. Six of those receptions went for at least 25 yards. There is no reason to speculate on what kept Ferguson out Tuesday based on the information available. For now, the important part is that he wasn't in team drills but remained active with workouts on the side.
