Texans' Dalton Schultz: Week 18 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Schultz was a disappointment in Week 17 against Baltimore with two catches for 21 yards, but he had six targets in the first game without Tank Dell (knee). C.J. Stroud should lean on Schultz again in Week 18 at Tennessee, and this is a better matchup. I'm going back to Schultz as a low-end starter in all leagues in Week 18.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Struggles with six targets
Rotowire
Schultz recorded two receptions for 21 yards on six targets in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to the Ravens.
Schultz was coming off his best fantasy performance of the season in Week 16 (5-45-1 receiving line on eight targets), but he followed the big outing up with a Christmas Day dud. The veteran tight end has experienced a downward trend in production in his second season with Houston, carrying a mediocre 50-503-2 receiving line while starting all 16 of the Texans' games in 2024. Schultz will look to finish the regular season on a high note when the Texans visit the Titans next weekend.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: TEs to Start
Rotowire
Tank Dell (knee) is out for the rest of the season, and the Texans need Schultz to step up in a big way, starting in Week 17 against the Ravens. And he's playing well coming into this matchup with at least 15.5 PPR points in two of his past three games, including catching five passes for 45 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Week 16 at Kansas City. The Ravens have allowed eight tight ends to score at least 9.7 PPR points this season, and Schultz is worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues in Week 17.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Week 17 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Schultz is getting hot heading into Week 17 against Baltimore, and the Texans need him with Tank Dell (knee) out. Schultz has scored at least 15.5 PPR points in two of his past three games, including catching five passes for 45 yards and a touchdown on eight targets in Week 16 at Kansas City. The Ravens are No. 11 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Schultz should be considered a low-end starter in all leagues in Week 11.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Scores TD in Saturday's loss
Rotowire
Schultz caught five of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs.
Schultz finished second on the team in targets behind Nico Collins (10), and Schultz will likely work as the team's second option in the passing game moving forward, as wide receiver Tank Dell exited due to a serious knee injury. The tight end scored his second touchdown of the season on a 10-yard catch in the second quarter. Both of those scores have come in the last three games after Schultz started the season on a 12-game touchdown drought. Schultz's arrow is pointing up ahead of a Christmas matchup with the Ravens.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Two catches in Week 15 win
Rotowire
Schultz secured two of four targets for 13 yards in the Texans' 20-12 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.
Schultz was a bit player in the air attack, although with C.J. Stroud throwing for only 131 yards on the afternoon, the veteran tight end was hardly the only Texan with modest numbers. Schultz came into game with a pair of five-catch tallies in the previous three games, but he remains a complementary option even in games when Stroud has a lot more success through the air.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Schultz comes into Week 15 against Miami having scored at least 8.3 PPR points in three of his past four games. That includes his best game of the season in Week 13 at Jacksonville with five catches for 61 yards and a touchdown on seven targets for 17.1 PPR points. It's good timing for Schultz to face the Dolphins, who have allowed four tight ends in their past four games to score at least 9.4 PPR points. Schultz is worth using as a low-end starter in all leagues in Week 15.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Week 15 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The last time we saw Schultz, he had his best game of the season in Week 13 at Jacksonville, with five catches for 61 yards and a touchdown on seven targets. He actually has at least 8.3 PPR points in three of his past four games, and now he has a great matchup against Miami in Week 15. He then gets Kansas City in Week 16 and Baltimore in Week 16, and Schultz could be a good streaming option to close the season in the majority of leagues.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Finds end zone in Week 13 win
Rotowire
Schultz secured five of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 23-20 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
Despite missing time in the second half to be evaluated for a shoulder injury, Schultz was able to record his first touchdown since January's wild-card win over the Browns, finding the end zone on a 22-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. The veteran tight end finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for the Texans, and his catch total matched a season high as well. Schultz now has a pair of five-reception totals in the last three games heading into a Week 14 bye.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Two catches in loss
Rotowire
Schultz caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 32-27 loss to Tennessee in Week 12.
Schultz garnered fewer targets than backup Cade Stover (four), who also caught a touchdown pass. Schultz has been a weekly contributor -- through 12 games, he's caught 36 passes on 57 targets for 363 yards -- and he's been on the field for an 82 percent share of snaps, but he's still looking for his first TD of 2024.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Team-high catch total in win
Rotowire
Schultz secured five of seven targets for 33 yards in the Texans' 34-10 win over the Cowboys on Monday night.
Facing his old team for the first time, Schultz recorded a team-high catch total that also served as a season-best figure. Schultz had 52- and 66-yard outings over the prior three games coming into Monday night, but with Nico Collins back on the field following a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, the veteran tight end was used close to the line of scrimmage. Schultz's fantasy upside should remain modest in a Week 12 home divisional matchup against the Titans.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: TEs to Sit
Rotowire
Schultz has failed to score a touchdown this season or score double digits in PPR in any game despite Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell all missing time. With Collins set to return in Week 11 against Dallas, it's tough to trust Schultz as a starter in the majority of leagues against the Cowboys in Week 11.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Season-best 66 yards
Rotowire
Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.
Schultz earned fewer than five targets for only the second time since Week 3, which came as a surprise given the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee). However, Schultz still managed his highest yardage total of the season, primarily thanks to a 32-yard reception early in the third quarter. Though it was a positive performance, Schultz has still managed to top 35 yards in only two games for the campaign.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Could see increased targets
Rotowire
Schultz could see a higher-than-usual number of targets in Sunday night's game against the Lions with Houston's top two wideouts questionable for Week 10.
Schultz had been a forgotten component in the passing offense to start the season, but injuries have hit the wideout group since Week 1. Stefon Diggs (knee) is done for the season, Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) was designated to return from IR but logged one limited practice Friday and is questionable, and Tank Dell (back) popped up on Friday's injury report and is questionable. Schultz is averaging five targets per game for the season and has seen at least six throws come his way in four of the last five weeks, coinciding with the stretch of time that injuries began impacting the wide receivers. After catching five touchdowns during his first season in Houston, Schultz is still looking for his first score in 2024.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: TEs to Sit
Rotowire
Schultz failed to take advantage of Nico Collins (hamstring) being out for the past four games, and Stefon Diggs (knee) also missed Week 9. For the season, Schultz has failed to score double digits in PPR in any outing, and he's yet to score a touchdown. Collins is expected to return in Week 10 against the Lions, and Detroit is No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Only one tight end has scored a touchdown against the Lions this season, and Schultz is not worth trusting at this point in the year.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Week 9 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
The Texans need Schultz with Stefon Diggs (knee) out for the season, and Nico Collins (hamstring) remains on injured reserve. Schultz just had his best game of the season in Week 8 against the Colts with four catches for 52 yards on six targets, and hopefully, he can find the end zone for the first time this year in Week 9 against the Jets. Schultz is worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Sleeper TEs

I'm going to give Schultz one more chance to help Fantasy managers in Week 8 against the Colts, given the matchup. Indianapolis is No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and hopefully, C.J. Stroud can connect with Schultz in this game. Schultz hasn't benefited with Nico Collins (hamstring) out the past two games, but it's worth giving Schultz another look in Week 8, given the matchup.

Schultz hasn't benefited with Nico Collins (hamstring) out the past two games, but it's worth giving Schultz another look in Week 8 against the Colts. Indianapolis is No. 3 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and hopefully Schultz can deliver a quality stat line. He's been held to 7.4 PPR points or less in every game this season. Schultz is worth adding for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: One catch in Week 7 loss
Rotowire
Schultz caught one of two targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.
Schultz's 28-yard catch in the first quarter was enough for him to finish as Houston's leading receiver, as C.J. Stroud threw for only 86 yards in arguably the worst performance of the second-year quarterback's career. Wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) will miss a third consecutive game in Week 8 against the Colts, so Schultz is poised to see decent target volume if Stroud gets back on track, as Schultz had 14 targets over Houston's previous two games coming into Sunday's loss.
