Dalton Schultz

TE · #26

HOU · TE · Age 30

◆FLEX

Dalton Schultz's recent target share of 19.7% over the last four games signals a consistent role in Houston’s offense, but his TE20 value rank indicates he is not among the elite tight ends.

Role & volume
Dalton Schultz has maintained a high snap share of 71% on average over the last four games, indicating significant playing time and involvement in Houston's offensive game plan.
Projected role
Despite his established role as a primary receiver for Houston, Schultz is projected to continue as a mid-tier tight end due to his TE20 value rank, suggesting he will not be relied upon heavily enough to warrant starting in all formats.
Range (floor–ceiling)
Schultz's recent performance shows a floor of 4.9 PPR points and a ceiling of 21.6 PPR points, reflecting his inconsistent weekly output that makes him more suitable as a FLEX option rather than a guaranteed starter.

Risk & Opportunity Analysis (3 flags)

Risk Flags

1
  • Draft Capital

    Houston used a second-round pick in the 2026 draft on TE Marlin Klein, the clearest same-position investment on the roster; while Klein remains a depth piece for now, the pick signals a succession plan behind the incumbent.

Opportunity Flags

2
  • Elite Production

    He scored 3 touchdowns against roughly 5.6 expected in 2025, a clear negative bounce in a season with a real red-zone role — that gap is a classic positive touchdown-regression setup for a rebound in scoring output.

  • Usage & Volume

    He has held the stable TE1 job in Houston since arriving in 2023 and remains the clear starter over Foster Moreau and the rest of the depth chart, giving him a dependable weekly floor as a receiving-game option in this offense.
