Dalton Schultz Belongs in the TE2 Range in 2026

Saturday, August 8, 11:45 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz was busy last year. He saw 106 targets, caught a career-high 82 passes for 777 yards and three touchdowns, and finished as the TE11. Finding that much work again could be difficult. Nico Collins is still the top receiver, Jayden Higgins is coming off a 41-catch, 525-yard rookie season and has drawn strong reviews in camp, while Tank Dell is back on the field after missing all of 2025 with a knee injury. Houston also signed Foster Moreau and used the 59th overall pick on tight end Marlin Klein. Schultz is still the Texans' TE1, and he played more than 71% of the offensive snaps last season, so his role isn't disappearing. There are simply more options around C.J. Stroud now. RotoBaller has Schultz 177th overall and TE24. He still makes sense as a second tight end, but another TE11 finish would require much of last year's target volume to stick around.

Terrance Ferguson Drawing High Praise After Strong Offseason

Saturday, August 1, 10:54 AM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Terrance Ferguson has been one of the team's offseason standouts, according to Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated. Breer wrote that Ferguson is showing he can line up across the formation and create after the catch, with the Rams believing the 2025 second-round pick could eventually develop into one of the league's top tight ends. Ferguson's rookie stat line was modest at 11 catches for 231 yards and three touchdowns in 14 games, but most of that production came after Los Angeles made three-tight-end sets a bigger part of the offense in Week 7. He recorded 10 receptions for 210 yards and all three scores from that point forward. Colby Parkinson remains at the front of a crowded tight end room, so consistent targets are not guaranteed. Ferguson is more interesting than his rookie totals suggest, but he remains a deeper redraft option until his role becomes clearer. Dynasty managers have more reason to be encouraged by the direction of his second offseason.
