Schultz TE8 projection at year-2 floor price; late-round value

Dalton SchultzTEHOU

Schultz is a late-round TE dart that Davis Mattek loves; part of his preferred late-round TE strategy where he took Schultz, Terrence Ferguson, Pat Freiermuth, and Greg Doucet, feeling great about his TE depth. Ranked ahead of Jawan Johnson in Mattek's rankings; projects to finish as tight end 8 due to role as the guy closer to the line of scrimmage in the Texans offense, similar to Cole Kmet in snap share and every-down usage. Over three years in Houston, he has averaged 10 PPR points per game (year 1), 7 PPR (year 2), and 10.5 PPR (year 3), and is currently being priced at his year-2 floor, offering upside at his current ADP. Selected as one of three tight ends in the final five picks of Davis Mattek's $2M tournament draft; Mattek notes minimal differentiation between Schultz, Hunter Henry, Greg Doulich, and Brenton Strange at the tier; personal preference matters more than talent gap.

Source transcript excerpt
I took three late tight ends. I took uh I took I took Dalton Schultz. I took Terrence Ferguson. I took Pat Fmouth. I love my tight ends... I actually have Schultz ahead of Jawan in my rankings... Schultz um like kind of just easily finishes the tight end eight last year because he is going to be the guy closer to the line of scrimmage in that offense... We've had these three years though in Houston. First year 10 PPR points per game. second year seven, third year 10.5... There's just not much of a difference between Daltton Schultz or Hunter Henry or Greg Doulich and Brentton Strange or whatever.
