Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) fully participated in practice Thursday, Sept. 26.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz likely will receive a few targets in the passing game this week but probably can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

The frustrating tight-end landscape this season certainly has extended to Dalton Schultz of the Houston Texans. The 28-year-old ranks a woeful 34th among fantasy tight ends through three weeks, nowhere near the production expected for a player drafted to be a possible starter. However, things could be looking up for the Stanford man, who faces his best matchup of the season with the Jacksonville Jaguars coming to Houston in Week 4. The Texans have played back-to-back tough offensive games against Chicago and Minnesota, but the Jags have allowed an NFL-worst 497 yards after the catch. Schultz is a low-end TE1, high-end TE2 play who could benefit if Houston has a big passing day.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, according to the team's PR department. It's worth noting that the lingering ankle issue impacted Schultz's practice status last week, too, but that didn't stop him from playing a season-high 96 percent of snaps on Sunday afternoon. He now has a modest seven catches, 48 yards, and zero touchdowns through three games this season. His reduced productivity could be the result of an offense that has become even more crowded following the offseason addition of Stefon Diggs. For now, Schultz is a mid-to-low fantasy TE2.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 25.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz is off to a slow start to the season with only 48 yards in three games. The wide receivers are receiving most of the targets in the passing game, so fantasy players may want to look for other options and avoid Schultz until he is more involved in the passing game.

From TheHuddle

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz caught two passes for 11 yards against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3. He was targeted five times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz has struggled so far this season with three games with under 22 yards receiving. The Texans have been throwing more to the receivers early in the season, so Schultz may only be a No. 2 tight end at this time.

Houston Texans RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 3 versus the Minnesota Vikings. RB Joe Mixon (ankle) also did not practice all week and is listed as doubtful. OL Jarrett Patterson (calf) did not practice on Friday, Sept. 20, and is listed as questionable. C Juice Scruggs (groin) and S M.J. Stewart (knee) were limited in practice on Friday and are also listed as questionable. LB Azeez Al-Shaair (shin), CB Kris Boyd (hip), WR Nico Collins (hip, foot), DT Folorunso Fatukasi (shoulder), CB Kamari Lassiter (elbow) and TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) practiced in full on Friday and no longer appear on the injury report.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 20, and is not on the injury report for Week 3.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz has not been able to find a good connection early with C.J. Stroud this season with only five receptions and 37 yards over the first two weeks. He likely will see a few targets in the passing game against the Minnesota Vikings and may only be a No. 2 fantasy tight end this week.

From TheHuddle

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) was able to practice in full on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant for the first practice of the week on Wednesday. Even though Schultz is on the Week 3 injury report, his return to a full practice on Thursday should pave the way for him to be active this Sunday to take on the 2-0 Minnesota Vikings. There are a lot of mouths to feed through the air in this Houston offense, and Schultz has only garnered six targets through two games, hauling in five of them for 37 yards and no touchdowns. The slow start has pushed him down to TE2 territory in fantasy, but the Week 3 matchup against the Vikings could put him in play to have his best game of the early 2024 campaign. The Vikings defense has allowed the fifth-most half-PPR fantasy points to the tight end position through two games.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) practiced in full on Thursday, Sept. 19, after being limited the day before.

Fantasy Spin: After ranking as a top-10 option at tight end in 2023, Schultz is barely in the top 25 through two weeks. That's not entirely surprising, though, considering all the mouths the Texans have to feed in the passing game. Schultz is no longer the must-start option he was last year and is probably better off on the bench.

Houston Texans RB Joe Mixon (ankle) and RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday, Sept. 19. Also, LB Azeez Al-Shaair (shin), CB Kris Boyd (hip), WR Nico Collins (hip, foot), DL Folorunso Fatukasi (shoulder), OL Jarrett Patterson (calf), OL Juice Scruggs (groin) and DB M.J. Stewart (knee) were limited and TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) and CB Kamari Lassiter (elbow) practiced in full.

From TheHuddle

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 18.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz is off to a disappointing start to the season with only five receptions and 37 yards in two games. Fantasy players can consider benching Schultz if they have a better option available.

From TheHuddle

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz had two receptions (on three targets) for 21 yards in a win over the Chicago Bears on Sunday, Sept. 15.

Fantasy Spin: With so many mouths to feed in the passing game, it's hard to imagine Schultz being a regular contributor this season. He has five catches and 37 yards through two games, meaning Schultz should only be owned in leagues with rosters deep enough to carry a second tight end.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) fully practiced on Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday Night Football's showdown against the Chicago Bears. He has been dealing with an ankle injury this week but is all systems go for Sunday night. The 28-year-old played nearly 80 percent of Houston's snaps last week, an encouraging sign for someone in the low-end TE1 range. However, with just three targets, he was tied for fourth on the team with running back Joe Mixon. The former Dallas Cowboy was behind receivers Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs, and Tank Dell in the pecking order in Week 1. Schultz has three red flags two red-zone targets in his past eight games, heavy competition for targets, and an injury that should have fantasy managers exploring other options for a tight end streamer.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans CB M.J. Stewart (knee) did not practice on Friday, Sept. 13, and has been ruled out for Week 2. Also, RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) and C Juice Scruggs (groin) did not practice and are questionable, and WR Nico Collins (illness) and TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) practiced in full and were removed from the injury report.

From TheHuddle

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) practiced in full on Friday, Sept. 13, and carries no designation into Week 2.

Fantasy Spin: Things weren't looking good for Schultz after not practicing the first two days, but he appears to be just fine. Schultz is a high-end TE2 ahead of Week 2.

From TheHuddle

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (ankle) picked up an injury during Sunday's win over the Indianapolis Colts. The 28-year-old has missed practice each of the last two days. It's now being announced that Schultz is dealing with an ankle sprain. The good news is that the injury isn't considered severe, so Schultz should be able to suit up in Week 2. There is still a chance for Schultz to practice on Friday, which would give him a better chance of playing this weekend. Otherwise, Brevin Jordan and Cade Stover would likely split up the reps. Neither player is an ideal streaming option if Schultz is forced out of action.

From RotoBaller

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) has not been ruled out for Week 2 at this point despite missing the first two practices of the week, and there is some optimism that he may be available to play, according to a source.

Fantasy Spin: It appears like Schultz could be a game-time decision, so fantasy players should continue to monitor the situation. He was not a big factor in the passing game in Week 1 but could be a low-end No. 1 tight end in some deeper leagues if he plays.

From TheHuddle

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz's (ankle) was held out of practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday, putting his status up in the air for the Week 2 tilt at home against the visiting Chicago Bears. Schultz will likely have to suit up in some capacity at Friday's practice to avoid being ruled out entirely. The 28-year-old caught all three of his targets for only 16 receiving yards in a disappointing first game in the Week 1 win over the division-rival Indianapolis Colts as well. As things stand right now, he is shaping up as a very shaky TE1/2 for fantasy managers against a tough defense this weekend. If Schultz is out on Sunday or limited on offense, the Texans would be forced to turn to some combination of Brevin Jordan and Cade Stover at the position. Fantasy managers looking for a TE streamer would be better off looking elsewhere.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) and S M.J. Stewart (knee) did not practice on Thursday, Sept. 12. In addition, WR Nico Collins (illness), RB Dameon Pierce (hamstring) and C Juice Scruggs (groin) practiced in full.

From TheHuddle

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (ankle) did not participate in practice for a second consecutive day on Thursday, Sept. 12.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz caught all three of his targets in the opener but only for 16 scoreless yards. Whereas he was a strong low-end TE1 last season, he is no better than fourth in line for targets behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell this year even when he is fully healthy. For desperate fantasy managers relying on him or looking to replace an injured option such as Jake Ferguson or David Njoku, Brevin Jordan and rookie Cade Stover could be worth a look.
