Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz pulled in three passes for a season-high 66 yards in a 26-23 loss to Detroit on Sunday. The big tight end didn't see a ton of volume, logging only four targets, but he was effective when called upon in the passing attack. Unfortunately for Houston, the offense was shut out in the second half as the Lions mounted a comeback from 16 points down. Schultz and the Texans will face a much friendlier matchup in Week 11 when they take on the struggling Dallas Cowboys.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz ended up with three receptions for 66 yards on four targets in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions.

Fantasy Spin: The Lions are normally pretty tough on opposing tight ends, but Schultz had a couple of splash plays, including a 32-yard catch and run. He remains more of a TE2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 11 in Dallas on MNF.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz should be considered a TE2 in Week 10 with a difficult matchup on Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Detroit ranks No. 1 against fantasy tight ends going into this week, and the former Dallas Cowboy hasn't exactly been lighting it up this season anyway. Through nine games, the veteran tight end has zero top-15 finishes at his position and has not caught a regular-season touchdown since Week 11 of 2023. But due to his high snap count and injuries to Houston's receivers, he's still playable as a bye-week fill-in or in formats that play more than one tight end.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz had three catches (on six targets) for 21 yards in a Week 9 loss to the New York Jets.

Fantasy Spin: With Houston short-handed at receiver, this looked like a prime opportunity for Schultz to step up. He didn't. While his 78-808-8 season with Dallas in 2021 put him on the fantasy map, he's never come close to matching that production in two-plus seasons since. He holds no value outside of the deepest leagues.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz finished Thursday night's 21-13 loss at the New York Jets with three catches for 21 yards. The Texans targeted the veteran tight end six times, which ranked second only to wide receiver Tank Dell, but completed just 11 of their 31 passing attempts on the night. Schultz now has failed to hit 30 yards receiving in six of nine games and still does not have a touchdown yet this season. He'll look for a long-awaited breakout in a solid matchup against Detroit in Week 10.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz's role as a receiver took a major hit in the offseason, but injuries could change that in Week 9 against the New York Jets. Houston will be without their first and second options on Thursday, as wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) will be out at least another week and Stefon Diggs (knee) will miss the rest of the season. More targets might be on the way for the big tight end, who is a disappointing 25th among fantasy tight ends so far. The Jets are a tough matchup, ranking ninth against tight ends, though Schultz is coming off his best receiving yardage total of the season (52) last week. He's still a TE2 option, albeit with some upside under the circumstances.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz ended up with four receptions for 52 yards on six targets in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz fared well against an Indianapolis defense which struggles against tight ends. Schultz has been a little erratic, and he is more of a TE2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams. He and the Texans face a tough matchup in Week 9 against the New York Jets.

From TheHuddle

Oct 27 4:20pm CT

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz had a season-best 52 receiving yards on four catches in a 23-20 win against the Indianapolis Colts. The Texans targeted the big tight end six times, which was tied for second on the team. The Stanford product could temporarily assume an even bigger role in the Houston passing game, as receiver Stefon Diggs (knee) left the game with a non-contact injury. The Texans are currently without top receiver Nico Collins (hamstring), who is on injured reserve. Fantasy managers will have to monitor injury statuses ahead of Schultz and the Texans taking on the New York Jets in Week 9.

From RotoBaller

Oct 25 5:30pm CT

On one hand, Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has one of his best matchups of the season against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 8. On the other, it has been pretty difficult for fantasy managers to trust the veteran tight end. The former Dallas Cowboy has not finished as a top-15 fantasy tight end in any week this season, and he is now coming off a season-low one catch on two targets last week. The Colts rank among the bottom five against fantasy tight ends, though Schultz had just three catches for 16 yards in the first meeting in Week 1. He should be considered a TE2 despite the enticing matchup.

Oct 20 4:00pm CT

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz started his day with a first-quarter catch for 28 yards, but that accounted for all of his receiving production in a 24-22 loss at Green Bay. The 28-year-old tight end actually led the team in receiving, but only because Houston threw for a paltry 86 passing yards against the Packers. Schultz was targeted just twice in the game, his lowest total of the 2024 season thus far. The veteran will look for a better day in Week 8 against the Indianapolis Colts.

Oct 20 3:43pm CT

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz caught one pass for 28 yards against the Green Bay Packers in Week 7. He was targeted two times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: The Texans did not have much success in the passing game, so Schultz's 28 led the team this week. He should see a few more targets next week and could be a possible low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues.

From TheHuddle

Oct 18 12:20pm CT

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is a fringe starter with some target volume upside in Week 7 at Green Bay. The 28-year-old has been among the letdown draft picks at tight end, ranking 25th at the position through six games. However, the Stanford product still remains a playable option with top Houston receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve. The Texans have targeted Schultz 14 times in the past two games, and Green Bay ranks 28th against fantasy tight ends. If there were ever a time to break his touchdown drought 11 straight regular-season games without a score this week would be a good candidate.

Oct 13 5:53pm CT

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz caught four passes for 27 yards against the New England Patriots in Week 6. He was targeted eight times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz has been targeted at five times in each of the last four games but has been held to under 35 yards in each of those games. He should see a handful of targets next week but can be benched in fantasy leagues if players have better options available.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz was fined $11,255 by the National Football League for committing unsportsmanlike conduct and taunting in Week 5's game, when he rolled the ball towards a Buffalo Bills player following a play.

From TheHuddle

Oct 11 12:50pm CT

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz is a playable option with a decent matchup in Week 6 against the New England Patriots. The 28-year-old has had a disappointing fantasy season so far, but the silver lining is that his target percentage has gone up three weeks in a row and he's still an every-down player, averaging nearly 87% of Houston snaps. Further, Houston's targets leader, receiver Nico Collins, is now on injured reserve. At this stage, fantasy managers have to be realistic with their expectations for the former Dallas Cowboy: he'll play most of the game and earn a handful of targets on a good offense, but he's dependent on touchdowns for game-changing weeks.

From RotoBaller

Oct 6 5:53pm CT

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz caught four passes for 34 yards against the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. He was targeted six times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz tied his season high for receiving yards this week but has not been a big factor in any of the games this season. He should see a decent amount of targets again next week but probably will only be a possible starting option in deeper leagues.

From TheHuddle

Oct 4 11:20am CT

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz enters Week 5 against Buffalo coming off his most productive game of the season, albeit for just three catches and 34 receiving yards. The veteran tight end is still playing a ton of snaps for Houston nearly 84% but he hasn't been the pass-catching option fantasy managers had hoped thus far. However, Buffalo blitzes less than any team in the league and Houston's backfield has been impacted by injuries, possibly opening the door for a higher volume of short-yardage throws that could benefit a tight end. Still, Schultz has been tough to trust in a Texans offense with many mouths to feed.

From RotoBaller

Sep 29 8:33pm CT

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz caught three of his five targets for 34 yards in a 24-20 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz had his most productive game of the season to date, but that isn't saying much. He continues to remain a minimal part of the passing game, and even as a streaming option, he is a reach.

From TheHuddle

Sep 29 3:50pm CT

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz hauled in three passes for 34 yards on five targets in his team's 24-20 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Frustratingly, Schultz was close to scoring the game-winning touchdown, but was brought down at the two-yard line before the Texans eventually scored. The former Dallas Cowboy has been the odd man out next to a talented receiving corps, sitting in fourth place on the team in targets. The tight end will look for better when Houston plays host to Buffalo in Week 5.

From RotoBaller

Sep 27 3:23pm CT

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) practiced in full for the second straight day on Friday, Sept. 27, and has no designation for Week 4.

Fantasy Spin: The Texans won't have Tank Dell (chest), who was ruled out for Week 4. That could mean more targets for Schultz, putting him on the TE2 radar.
