Schultz struggled in Week 17 at the Chargers with 4.9 PPR points, but he scored at least 12.5 PPR points in three of his past five games. He played well against the Colts in Week 13 with seven catches for 55 yards on eight targets, and he should have another solid outing in the rematch in Week 18. Two tight ends in the past five games against Indianapolis have scored at least 12.5 PPR points, and Schultz should be considered a top-10 Fantasy tight end in this matchup.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Held to 19 yards
Rotowire
Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 19 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers.
C.J. Stroud distributed targets evenly to his pass catchers, leaving Schultz as one of five Texans with either four or five targets. He didn't do much with the opportunity he did get, and he also picked up a key unsportsmanlike conduct penalty to stall a promising drive early in the second quarter. Schultz remains an inconsistent contributor, as this marked his third performance in his last six games with under 25 yards. However, he's either topped 50 yards or found the end zone in the other three contests in that span.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Logs full practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Schultz (knee) practiced fully Wednesday.
Schultz was deemed limited Tuesday, but the tight end's return to a full session a day later sets him up to be available for Saturday's game against the Chargers. Schultz has scored in each of his last two games, a span in which he has caught 13 of his 14 targets for 111 yards, a pace that keeps him firmly on the fantasy radar at the TE position in Week 17.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Reps capped by knee issue
Rotowire
Schultz was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice due to a knee injury.
The knee issue is a new concern for Schultz, who hasn't appeared on Houston injury reports since Week 12, when he was managing a shoulder concern leading up to the Texans' game against the Bills. Schultz has yet to miss a contest this season, and so long as he's able to continue practicing in some fashion Wednesday and/or Thursday, he should be ready to play Saturday against the Chargers.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Catches Stroud's only TD pass
Rotowire
Schultz had five receptions on as many targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.
Schultz had the highest fantasy score of any pass catcher for Houston on Sunday after coming down with QB C.J. Stroud's only touchdown pass of the contest. It was the veteran tight end's third touchdown catch of the season, surpassing last year's total of two in two fewer games. Schultz is providing a consistent floor for fantasy managers heading into a matchup with the Chargers in Week 17.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Schultz had a huge game against Arizona in Week 15 with eight catches for 76 yards and a touchdown on nine targets, and he scored 21.6 PPR points. He has now scored at least 11.1 PPR points in five of his past seven games, and he should be considered a starter in all leagues in Week 16 against the Raiders. The matchup isn't ideal since Las Vegas is No. 4 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, but two tight ends in the past five games against the Raiders have scored at least 11.6 PPR points. Schultz should follow suit in Week 16.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Schultz struggled in Week 14 at Kansas City with three catches for 22 yards on four targets, and he only scored 5.2 PPR points. But he should get back on track this week against the Cardinals, who are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. Nine guys have scored at least 10 PPR points against Arizona, and Schultz has scored at least 11.1 PPR points in four of his past six games overall. I like Schultz as a top-10 Fantasy tight end in all leagues in Week 15.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Week 15 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Schultz had a down game in Week 14 at Kansas City with three catches for 22 yards on four targets, but I still like him as a low-end starter in all leagues in Week 15 against Arizona. The Cardinals are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Schultz scored at least 11.1 PPR points in four of his past six games. Schultz is worth adding for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Held to 22 yards
Rotowire
Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.
Schultz maintained a significant role in the Houston offense, finishing third on the team in targets behind Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. Collins was the only Texans pass catcher to reach at least 35 receiving yards, and Schultz was among those to post a muted stat line. He entered the game having topped 50 receiving yards in six of his last eight games, so he should return to better production in Week 15 against Arizona.
Schultz is still just 58% rostered despite the fact that he is TE8 since Week 5 with an average of 11.4 PPR Fantasy points. This isn't the best matchup in Week 14, and I do slightly prefer Brenton Strange just for this week, but Schultz should be a starter rest of season, so he is my top priority.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Week 14 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Schultz had a down game in Week 12 against Buffalo with one catch for 8 yards on four targets, but he rebounded in Week 13 at Indianapolis with seven catches for 55 yards on eight targets. He has now scored at least 11.1 PPR points in four of his past five games, and he should continue to be a go-to option for C.J. Stroud to close the season. He has a difficult matchup in Week 14 at Kansas City, but then he faces Arizona in Week 15. Schultz is worth adding in all leagues for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Seven catches in win
Rotowire
Schultz caught seven of eight targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Colts.
Schultz was able to secure at least six passes for the fourth time in five games, rebounding nicely after his one-catch performance in Week 12. The tight end didn't skip a beat with the return of C.J. Stroud either, calming the nerves of fantasy managers. Schultz has now corralled 59 of 80 targets for 552 yards and a touchdown over 12 contests this season.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: TEs to start
Rotowire
Schultz had a down game as expected in Week 12 against Buffalo with one catch for 8 yards on four targets, but I would go right back to him in Week 13 against the Colts. The Bills are No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Schultz had scored at least 11.1 PPR points in three games in a row prior to Week 12. Indianapolis is No. 5 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and five guys have scored at least 10 PPR points against the Colts. I like Schultz as a top-10 Fantasy tight end in all leagues in Week 13.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Quiet night in win
Rotowire
Schultz caught one of four targets for eight yards in Thursday's 23-16 win over Buffalo in Week 12.
Schultz, who battled through a shoulder injury on a short week, had his fewest targets since Week 8. Houston's offense got off to another slow start behind quarterback Davis Mills, and it greatly benefited from the defense, which forced three turnovers and created two short-field opportunities. Those factors kept a lid on the air attack. Despite the low output, Schultz remains a key component of the team's passing game and ranks second on the club with 72 targets and 497 receiving yards.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Schultz is on fire heading into Week 12 against Buffalo with at least 11.1 PPR points in five of his past six games, including three in a row. He has at least eight targets in four games over that span, and he's done well in two games with Davis Mills at quarterback with a combined 29.4 PPR points against the Jaguars and Titans in the past two weeks. But this week, Schultz is facing the tight end erasers in Buffalo. The Bills are No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Jeremy Ruckert in Week 2 is the lone tight end to score a touchdown against Buffalo. Travis Kelce in Week 9 had 10.6 PPR points against the Bills, which is the season high against them, including matchups with Mark Andrews, Juwan Johnson, Hunter Henry, Kyle Pitts and Cade Otton. As good as Schultz has been of late, I would only start him in deeper leagues in Week 12.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Turns in full practice
Rotowire
Schultz (shoulder) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
Schultz has been managing a shoulder issue for the last few weeks but has yet to miss a game, and his ability to put in a full practice Tuesday clears the way for him to play Thursday against the Bills. The veteran tight end has seen his involvement in the Houston passing attack tick up since the team's Week 6 bye, and over the last five games, Schultz has turned in a 30-303-1 receiving line on 41 targets, with the switch at QB from C.J. Stroud (concussion) to Davis Mills not impacting his target volume or production.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Week 12 Waiver Priority List

Schultz has a tough matchup in Week 12 against Buffalo, but he has scored at least 11 PPR points in five of his past six games, including three in a row. And he has at least eight targets in three games in a row. After facing the Bills, who are No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, Schultz gets an easier matchup with the Colts in Week 13 and the Cardinals in Week 14, which is favorable. He's worth adding for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.
