Dalton Schultz News
Tuesday, June 16, 8:30 AM
Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz put together a very solid season in 2025, recording 82 catches for 777 yards and three touchdowns on 106 targets across 17 games. However, there are reasons to doubt that Schultz will match his production in 2026 and beyond. For one, Schultz is highly reliant on target volume for production, as he's averaged just seven yards per target for his career. Additionally, the Texans selected tight end Marlin Klein in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft, signed veteran tight end Foster Moreau in free agency, and should get a healthier season out of tight end Cade Stover, who missed eight games with a foot injury in 2025. Houston also has a pair of up-and-coming young wide receivers in Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel. All in all, Schultz's role in Houston's passing game is likely to shrink as he enters his age-30 season. Dynasty managers should be looking to sell high on Schultz ahead of 2026.

Theo Johnson News
Thursday, June 4, 6:19 AM
New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson caught 45 passes in 2025 for 528 yards and five touchdowns, demonstrating a clear chemistry with quarterback Jaxson Dart and finishing as the TE13 or better in six of their nine games played together. However, calls for a true year-three breakout were largely quieted when the Giants committed $26 million in guaranteed money to free agent Isaiah Likely. With Johnson having since fallen to TE40 in RotoBaller's dynasty rankings, he could now be seen as a low-cost trade target with multiple paths to outperforming expectations. Head coach John Harbaugh arrives from Baltimore, where the Ravens were the only team in 2025 to run more plays out of 12-personnel than out of 11, and new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy's successful ability to run an offense through the tight end position is well documented. Johnson is only 25 years old, and in an offense proven desperate for secondary pass catchers by the recent signings of Odell Beckham Jr., JuJu Smith-Schuster, and Braxton Berrios, he could hold a legitimate role in 2026 and beyond.
