Dalton Schultz Is a Priority Pickup for Week 3

Tuesday, September 22, 5:18 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz carried a huge workload in Week 2 with Nico Collins (hamstring) unavailable, and he is primed to be a PPR producer all season since he's getting so much attention from C.J. Stroud in the Texans' passing game. Schultz caught 12 of his 14 targets in Week 2, racking up 140 yards against the Bengals and posting the best PPR score of all tight ends, even without a touchdown. Even with Collins healthy in Week 1, Schultz was second on the team in targets and caught four of his eight targets for 35 yards. With Collins likely missing at least one more game, Schultz should continue to get a very heavy workload and be a starting tight end in Week 3, when the Texans visit the Colts, who gave up a big game to Travis Kelce on Monday Night Football and have been a positive matchup for tight ends this season.

Tyler Warren Catches Touchdown, But Low Yardage Woes Continue

Sunday, September 20, 11:48 PM

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren turned seven targets into six catches for 21 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Warren has now gained just 34 yards in two games, though receiving touchdowns have saved his fantasy output in both. The Colts passing offense as a whole isn't gaining a ton of yardage, so it's not all Warren's fault he isn't gaining much ground with the ball in his hands. Still, there's concern for fantasy football, where he'd not be a difference-maker were it not for his scoring snags. He at least is on the field plenty for his team in his second year in the NFL. With 12 targets across two games, fantasy managers are hoping for a bit more involvement. That could come with the injury to WR Alec Pierce (heel), who should miss time with a re-aggravation of the heel injury he battled in the offseason. Warren is set to remain a key component of a passing game that isn't very productive, making him a risky start in fantasy football leagues. The tight end position seriously lacks good fantasy scorers, though, so Warren should remain in starting lineups in all leagues for Week 3 against the Houston Texans.
