Who Should I Start? Laquon Treadwell or Dalton Schultz

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Laquon Treadwell caught all six of his targets for 116 yards and a touchdown in a 41-14 preseason win over the Cincinnati Bengals on Saturday. Treadwell got the start and played throughout the first half, doing most of his damage on a 59-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. The former first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings is looking to survive final cuts after not appearing in any regular-season games in 2024 but he would not have a significant role on the Colts' offense even if he makes the team.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz continues to be a reliable but unspectacular producer in his team's offense, but he does bring some value as a PPR play against the Ravens this week, since quarterback C.J. Stroud continues to lean heavily on him to keep the chains moving. Schultz tied for the team lead with six targets last week and posted a team-high five catches. He only managed 30 yards, though, with his longest play going for nine yards. This season, he has at least three catches in every game but has only totaled 126 yards on his 16 catches. His volume of catches can make him a fill-in play with a high floor as we hit the bye weeks, but his ceiling is limited since his routes are usually short. In RotoBaller's Week 5 projections, Schultz is the No. 15 TE, making him startable in an emergency situation in most formats, even though he doesn't have an elite ceiling.
