Dalton Schultz a Strong PPR Streamer for Week 1

Monday, September 7, 11:32 AM

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is one of the easier waiver-wire answers if you need help at tight end for Week 1. He caught a career-high 82 passes on 106 targets last season, and the Texans are already down two receivers before facing Buffalo. Jayden Higgins is out for the year after tearing his ACL, while Tank Dell will begin the season on injured reserve and cannot return until at least Week 5. Houston did trade for Kayshon Boutte, and Nico Collins remains the clear top target. Still, Schultz does not need a huge role change to matter in PPR. He already saw 106 targets last year, and RotoBaller's current Week 1 waiver column has him rostered in only 43% of Yahoo leagues. The three touchdowns from 2025 are a reminder that the ceiling can be frustrating, especially in non-PPR formats. If you drafted the position late and are already looking around, Schultz is an easy enough player to use Sunday.

Tyler Warren Returns to Practice on Tuesday

Tuesday, September 1, 9:13 AM

Indianapolis Colts tight end Tyler Warren (groin) returned to practice on Tuesday after suffering what had been described as a minor groin injury during a joint practice with the Falcons on August 19. While his availability for Week 1 had never appeared to be in question, his return puts him on track for a full workload when the Colts open the season against the Ravens in less than two weeks. Wide receivers Alec Pierce (ankle, heel) and Josh Downs (calf) also practiced on Monday, marking the first time this summer that Indianapolis has had all three of its top projected pass-catchers on the field together. Warren caught 76 passes for 817 yards and four touchdowns as a rookie in 2025, and with a potentially expanded role in year two, he is RotoBaller's TE4.
