Schultz finished last season as TE14 in fantasy points per game while ranking 13th in deep targets and 15th in red zone targets; among 54 qualifying tight ends, he ranked 11th in target share and receiving yards per game, 20th in yards per route run, 16th in first-read share, and 20th in first downs per route run. The source recommends sitting Schultz in Week 1 against Buffalo, which was an elite defense versus tight ends last year, allowing the second-fewest receiving fantasy points per game and fifth-fewest overall fantasy points per game to tight ends in Weeks 12-18.

Schultz earned a career-high 106 targets last season and converted them into 82 catches, 777 yards and three touchdowns. He has garnered at least 85 targets in each of the last six seasons and should continue to get plenty of opportunities in a Houston offense still seeking a true No. 2 receiver. However, his Week 1 matchup against Buffalo—which allowed the fewest FPPG to tight ends last season—presents a challenge, though Sean McDermott's departure from Buffalo may open the door for stronger performance.

Schultz jumped 17 spots in ADP to the 11th round as the 19th tight end off the board; Chris Brooks notes he's a sneaky dart throw with a high floor compared to peers like Oronde Gadsden II, Chig Okonkwo, Terrance Ferguson, and Hunter Henry, who have more target competition and lower fantasy floors. While he lacks runway for a top-tier breakout (last finished TE3 five years ago in Dallas), if he's the No. 2 target in Houston behind Nico Collins, he's a solid early-season starter for those who punt tight end through single-digit rounds.

The source notes that Schultz's value didn't spike as much as expected when Jayden Higgins went down with a season-ending ACL injury, making him an easy value pick at TE24 ADP. Schultz was second on the team in targets last year and should maintain that role in 2026. C.J. Stroud's struggles have been overblown; from Week 10 on last season he averaged 15.1 fantasy points per game and ranked QB19. At his current ADP, Schultz has the starting role locked down with a clear path to target share.

Schultz offers low-end TE1 potential following the season-ending injury to wideout Jayden Higgins; he averaged the 11th most points at his position over the final 13 weeks of last season, finishing tied for third in receptions among tight ends with 82 and sixth in receiving yards with 777. Aside from Nico Collins, the Texans don't have any established pass-catchers, so Schultz has a chance to be C.J. Stroud's No. 2 target once again. The 30-year-old is in the group of high-end TE2s who could easily end the year as a top-12 starter at the position.

Dalton Schultz has become one of the most reliable tight ends to draft in a system built around timing routes and consistent underneath work. His workload stayed strong throughout the year, and his role as a trusted middle-of-the-field option never faded. He consistently finds soft spots in zone coverage and converts high-percentage throws, giving him a sturdy weekly floor. C.J. Stroud keeps him firmly in view as a reliable option.

Dalton Schultz had an underrated 2025 season with 82 receptions for 777 yards on 106 targets, tying for third among tight ends behind only Trey McBride and Kyle Pitts. Despite the volume, he finished just outside the top 10 in PPR scoring due to only three touchdowns despite 11 red-zone targets. With Jayden Higgins out for the season with a torn ACL, more targets are available in Houston, especially in scoring situations. If Schultz maintains last year's volume while converting three touchdowns into five or six, he could easily finish as a TE1 with a path to a top-five finish. The best part is the cost—you can target Schultz in the final few rounds of drafts, giving plenty of upside without premium draft capital.

Dalton Schultz was the TE14 in fantasy points per game last year while ranking 13th in deep targets and 15th in red zone targets among tight ends. Among 54 qualifying tight ends, Schultz was 11th in target share and receiving yards per game, 20th in yards per route run, 16th in first-read share, and 20th in first downs per route run. Schultz could flirt with borderline TE1 production again this season with Jayden Higgons lost for the season to a torn ACL. The source does not expect newly minted Texan Kayshon Boutte to fill a high-volume role in the Houston passing attack.
