Dalton Schultz Could See a Reduced Role in Houston in 2026

Wednesday, April 15, 4:50 PM

Across 17 games in 2025, Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz recorded 82 receptions for 777 yards and three touchdowns on 106 targets. The 29-year-old's production surge came as a bit of a surprise, as he posted three consecutive seasons with fewer than 60 receptions and 90 targets from 2022 through 2024. Still, despite the bump in volume, Schultz's fantasy upside is limited by his lack of explosiveness. He averaged fewer than 10 yards per reception in 2025 and has never averaged more than 10.8 yards per catch in any of his eight NFL seasons. Schultz's 2025 production was also boosted by the absence of fellow Texans tight end Cade Stover, who missed eight games with a foot injury. Schultz maintains some fantasy value as a high-floor PPR streamer, but his dynasty upside remains capped heading into 2026.

Terrance Ferguson No Longer the Unquestioned Future TE1 in Los Angeles?

Saturday, April 25, 6:36 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson's dynasty value took a significant hit during the 2026. NFL Draft. The Rams spent their second-round pick on Ohio State's Max Klare, who is a pass-catching tight end with high upside. It seems as though Los Angeles is refusing to let Ferguson have an easy path to the No. 1 tight end role. Not only is Klare an obstacle for him, but the Rams also re-signed Tyler Higbee, who should continue to have a significant role within the position group. It's not completely crazy to suggest that Ferguson could fall as low as fourth on the depth chart behind Colby Parkinson, Higbee, and Klare. In all likelihood, we'll see a frustrating dynamic similar to what the Rams showed near the end of last season when they incorporated multiple tight ends. Ferguson had one catch over four games from Week 12-15, then randomly broke out with touchdowns in back-to-back contests. Meanwhile, Parkinson was the TE67 from Week 1-9, then jumped to TE4 from Week 10-18. If the Rams adopt a similar approach to handling the tight end position, it will be tough to know which Rams tight end to start in a given week, if any at all. Maybe Ferguson's dynasty outlook will get clearer after Parkinson's contract expires next March, but for now, this is a crowded position group that we want no part of. Ferguson can be avoided in redraft leagues, and he's a fringe top-30 tight end in dynasty formats.
