Who Should I Start? Dalton Schultz or Tyler Warren

Friday, September 5, 11:09 PM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz restructured his deal this offseason and remains the top pass-catching tight end in his team's passing game. However, he posted five-year lows last year with 53 catches for 532 yards and only a pair of touchdowns despite playing in all 17 regular-season games last year. He still has 500+ yards in five straight years with an average of 4.8 touchdowns per year, and if the Texans' offense bounces back, he could climb back to fantasy relevance. Without Christian Kirk (hamstring), he could get a few more targets in Week 1 against the Rams, but he starts the year at No. 24 in the RotoBaller rankings. He has touchdown-dependent upside, but he doesn't have as much dynamic play-making upside as other fringe starters.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren will make his NFL debut at home against the Miami Dolphins in Week 1. Warren will draw a decent matchup against a Miami defense that allowed the 11th-most fantasy points per game to opposing tight ends in 2024. The first-round rookie out of Penn State drew rave reviews throughout training camp and should be a big piece of the Indy offense starting in Week 1. He can be slotted into starting lineups as a low-end TE1 and even as a flex option in tight-end premium leagues for Sunday's contest.
