Dalton Schultz Cleared to Play in Week 7

Friday, October 23, 1:26 PM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (quadriceps) was on the injury report this week, but he upgraded to a full participant in Friday's practice and does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's Week 7 game against the visiting New York Giants. Even with four teams on bye again for the second straight week, the 30-year-old veteran is a somewhat uninteresting tight end streamer against the Giants. He has lost some snaps to Foster Moreau recently, with Moreau catching two touchdown passes in last week's win over the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars in London. Schultz caught four of six targets for 33 yards in Week 6 and has not gone over 35 receiving yards since his Week 2 explosion against the Cincinnati Bengals, when he caught 12 of 14 targets for 140 yards. Disclaimer: The Week 2 game was when top receiver Nico Collins sat out with an injury. Schultz is still looking for his first touchdown of the season going into Week 7. Treat him as a touchdown-dependent TE2 against the G-Men.

Tucker Kraft Offers Strong TE1 Value In Week 7 Against Detroit

Friday, October 23, 1:16 PM

Green Bay Packers tight end Tucker Kraft draws one of the NFL's most favorable matchups in Sunday's Week 7 game against Detroit. Kraft caught five of eight targets for 37 yards against Dallas last week, marking his fifth reception in three straight games. He has caught 25 receptions for 249 yards and 1 touchdown through six contests, with steady involvement but no dominant fantasy performance. Detroit has struggled considerably against tight ends, allowing 51 receptions for 545 yards and nine touchdowns through five games, all league highs. Kraft has enjoyed success against Detroit, scoring a receiving touchdown in three of his previous four meetings, including his last two appearances at Ford Field. Christian Watson and Matthew Golden remain significant competition for targets, but Kraft has drawn at least seven targets in three of his last four games. Kraft briefly exited last week's contest but returned and does not appear on Green Bay's final injury report. RotoBaller ranks Kraft TE6 for Week 7, making him a must-start TE1 with an excellent opportunity for his best fantasy performance of the season.
