Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Tucker Kraft

Saturday, October 18, 9:06 PM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a solid PPR producer over the last few weeks, but he isn't a great option against the Seahawks in the second game of the doubleheader on Monday Night Football. Schultz has 21 catches on 27 targets for 186 receiving yards this season, with at least three catches in each of his five games this season. He posted a season-high 60 yards in Week 5 after being held under 40 yards in his first four games, but he still hasn't found the end zone. He has exactly five catches in each of his last three games, giving him a high floor, since he does get so many consistent targets. Even with Christian Kirk (hamstring) out for this game, Schultz's upside is limited in Houston's current offense, which is why Schultz is the TE27 in RotoBaller's Week 7 rankings. He's a low-end option in most formats this week, even though the Seahawks have been a top-10 matchup for tight ends this season.

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft has been an inconsistent option at tight end this season, but he will look to keep his season going on a high note when Kraft and the Packers face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 7. Despite averaging just 4.5 targets in five games this season, Kraft is the TE8 in fantasy scoring. Last week, he saved his fantasy day with a touchdown in the Packers' win over the Bengals. Consistent volume has been a bit difficult to come by for Kraft this season, as his production has largely been dependent on touchdowns. Despite just one top-10 fantasy tight end performance this season, Kraft is a solid start against Arizona. The Cardinals give up the sixth-most fantasy points to the tight end position on the season, so fire up Kraft and hope he gets into the end zone in Week 7.
