Dalton

Schultz

Schultz’s box score is a tad inflated by two throwaway targets. CJ Stroud aimed passes Schultz his way while pressured, in order to avoid intentional grounding penalties. Schultz did make a great toe-tapping catch along the right sideline on the Texans’ seventh drive, and later hauled in a 28-yard pass downfield against busted coverage. Schultz is a borderline TE1/2 against the Browns next week.

Nothing groundbreaking here, though this was more like reasonable low-end TE1 work than reasonable low-end TE2 work. Schultz heads into the Week 8 bye with 137 yards in six games against non-Bengals defenses this year and unless you’re in a TE-premium league likely does not need to be on the roster while on bye.

He’ll be good to go, but given how much Houston’s wideout usage has expanded of late, Schultz is probably just a passable TE2.

Correcting a previous item, Schultz ended up practicing today. He was limited, as was Brevin Jordan (foot), who evidently picked up a new injury. Schultz’s return gives him a chance to face the Giants this week. Ideally, he will upgrade to full participation tomorrow, though it is possible he gets hit with the questionable tag if he remains limited.

Schultz is unlikely to play in Week 7 against the Giants, and now Texans TE4 Brevin Jordan (foot) appears to have suffered an injury. Jordan was added to the injury report today as a limited participant. The injuries elevate TE2 Foster Moreau to the streaming ranks for Week 7.

Schultz never left the Texans’ Week 6 game against Jacksonville, but he was spotted with a limp after taking a knee to the leg. It’s possible the injury was worse than initially expected. If he were to miss Week 7, Foster Moreau, who scored twice last week, would be the next man up. Given that Schultz was barely putting up TE2 numbers as the starter, our hopes for Moreau as a streaming option would not be high.

If you’re thinking all Dalton Schultz lines have started to blur together, you’re not wrong. He’s had eight catches for 69 yards since his Week 2 explosion against the Bengals. There’s not much upside here, but at least he’s providing a safe TE2 floor for those of you who get five points per TE reception.

Not the most inspiring entry of #RevengeGame lore. Schultz was outgained by Cade Stover and Brevin Jordan. He’s trending towards TE2 usage with Nico Collins back in the lineup.

Schultz told the CBS booth before the game that he “hopes to not have stat lines” like he had in Week 2, an anecdote they related as he had just one catch in the fourth quarter. Sounds like news that fantasy managers wish they had heard yesterday. He didn’t have a catch in the first half and yielded a red zone touchdown to spoiler Foster Moreau. Schultz has low-end TE1 status in a classic #RevengeGame against the Cowboys in Week 4.

Collins will miss his second consecutive game with yet another hamstring strain. Last week, the passing offense ran through TE Dalton Schultz, who earned 13 targets. Fellow Texans WR Xavier Hutchinson was next with eight targets, but he caught just three, making for a shaky FLEX option this week.
