Dalton Schultz - Page 5 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Two catches in wild-card round win Schultz recorded two receptions on four targets or 23 yards in Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers.

Impact Nico Collins and John Metchie accounted for half of the targets from C.J. Stroud, leaving limited volume for the rest of Houston's pass catchers. Even taking that into account, Schultz's performance was disappointing, particularly considering that Cade Stover matched his four targets and out-gained him. Schultz now has fewer than 30 receiving yards in four of his last five games.

Three catches in Week 18 Schultz recorded three catches on three targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Titans.

Impact Schultz played throughout the first half, well after most of the top Texans' skill-position players were rested. His longest catch went for 13 yards on Houston's first possession, and he concludes the season with 532 yards -- the lowest yardage total of his career since 2019. However, Schultz has remained a consistent target earner, as he's topped 50 receptions in six straight campaigns, and he should retain a peripheral role in the Houston offense in a likely matchup with the Chargers in the first round of the playoffs.

Struggles with six targets Schultz had two receptions on six targets for 21 yards in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Schultz was coming off his best fantasy performance of the season in Week 16 (5-45-1), but he followed that up with his worst catch rate of the season on six targets. The veteran tight end has experienced a downward trend in production in his second year with Houston, carrying a mediocre 50-503-2 receiving line while starting all 16 of the Texans' games in 2024. Schultz will look to finish the regular season on a high note when the Texans visit the Titans next Sunday.

Texans look to regroup as they prepare for Ravens after Tank Dell suffers another injury

For a second straight season, the Houston Texans will be without Tank Dell to end the regular season and for the playoffs after the dynamic receiver suffered another major injury

Scores TD in Saturday's loss Schultz caught five of eight targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Schultz finished second on the team in targets behind Nico Collins (10), and Schultz will likely work as the team's second option in the passing game moving forward, as wide receiver Tank Dell exited due to a serious knee injury. The tight end scored his second touchdown of the season on a 10-yard catch in the second quarter. Both of those scores have come in the last three games after Schultz started the season on a 12-game touchdown drought. Schultz's arrow is pointing up ahead of a Christmas matchup with the Ravens.

C.J. Stroud-to-Dalton Schultz TD puts Texans up in 2nd quarter Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud found tight end Dalton Schultz for a 10-yard touchdown in the second quarter at Kansas City.

Two catches in Week 15 win Schultz secured two of four targets for 13 yards in the Texans' 20-12 win over the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact Schultz was a bit player in the air attack, although with C.J. Stroud throwing for only 131 yards on the afternoon, the veteran tight end was hardly the only Texan with modest numbers. Schultz came into game with a pair of five-catch tallies in the previous three games, but he remains a strict complementary option even in games when Stroud has a lot more success through the air.

Finds end zone in Week 13 win Schultz secured five of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 23-20 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.

Impact Despite missing time in the second half to be evaluated for a shoulder injury, Schultz was able to record his first touchdown since January's wild-card win over the Browns, finding the end zone on a 22-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. The veteran tight end finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for the Texans, and his catch total matched a season high as well. Schultz now has a pair of five-reception totals in the last three games heading into a Week 14 bye.

Dalton Schultz TD gives Texans 17-point lead at Jacksonville Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz caught a 22-yard pass from C.J. Stroud for a touchdown in the fourth quarter at Jacksonville.

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • HOUSTONTEXANS.COM

Two catches in loss Schultz caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 32-27 loss to Tennessee in Week 12.

Impact Schultz had fewer targets than backup Cade Stover (four), who also caught a touchdown pass. Schultz has been a weekly contributor -- 57 targets, 36 receptions in 12 games -- and has been on the field for an 82 percent share of snaps but is still looking for his first TD.

Texans TE Dalton Schultz trolls Cowboys after lopsided victory over former team Schultz spent the first five seasons of his career with the Cowboys before signing with Houston in 2023.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • DALLASNEWS.COM

Team-high catch total in win Schultz secured five of seven targets for 33 yards in the Texans' 34-10 win over the Cowboys on Monday night.

Impact Facing his old team for the first time, Schultz recorded a team-high catch total that also served as a season-best figure. Schultz had 52- and 66-yard outings over the prior three games coming into Monday night, but with Nico Collins back on the field following a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, the veteran tight end was used close to the line of scrimmage. Schultz's fantasy upside should remain modest in a Week 12 home divisional matchup against the Titans.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Season-best 66 yards Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.

Impact Schultz earned fewer than five targets for only the second time since Week 3, which came as a surprise given the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee). However, Schultz still managed his highest yardage total of the season, primarily thanks to a 32-yard reception early in the third quarter. Though it was a positive performance, Schultz has still managed to top 35 yards in only two games for the campaign.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could see increased targets Schultz could see a higher-than-usual number of targets in Sunday night's game against the Lions with Houston's top-two wideouts questionable for Week 10.

Impact Schultz had been a forgotten component in the passing offense to start the season, but injuries have hit the wideout group since Week 1. Stefon Diggs (knee) is done for the season, Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) was designated to return from IR but logged one limited practice Friday and is questionable, and Tank Dell (back) popped up on Friday's injury report and is questionable. Schultz is averaging five targets per game for the season and has seen at least six throws come his way in four of the last five weeks, coinciding with the stretch of time that injuries began impacting the wide receivers. After catching five touchdowns during his first season in Houston, Schultz is still looking for his first score in 2024.

NOVEMBER 9, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Modest output in Week 9 loss Schultz secured three of six targets for 21 yards in the Texans' 21-13 loss to the Jets on Thursday night.

Impact Despite the absence of both Stefon Diggs (IR, knee) and Nico Collins (IR, hamstring), Schultz continued to operate in a modest role that left him with eighth sub-35-yard tally of the season. The veteran tight end has topped out at four receptions as far as a single-game high during the 2024 campaign, and with Collins likely to return for a Week 10 home clash against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 10, Schultz is likely to remain in a largely fantasy-irrelevant role.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sees uptick in production Sunday Schultz secured four of six targets for 52 yards in the Texans' 23-20 win over the Colts on Tuesday.

Impact Schultz tied for second on the team in receptions and targets while also serving as the runner-up in receiving yards. The veteran tight end's receiving yardage total was a season high as well, and he's now recorded a trio of four-catch totals in his last four games. Schultz should continue seeing a slightly elevated role in a Week 9 road matchup against the Jets on Thursday night, especially if Stefon Diggs (knee) joins Nico Collins (IR-hamstring) in street clothes.

One catch in Week 7 loss Schultz caught one of two targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.

Impact Schultz's 28-yard catch in the first quarter was enough for him to finish as Houston's leading receiver, as C.J. Stroud threw for only 28 yards in arguably the worst performance of the second-year quarterback's career. Wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) will miss a third consecutive game in Week 8 against the Colts, so Schultz is poised to see decent target volume if Stroud gets back on track, as Schultz had 14 targets in Houston's previous two games coming into Sunday's loss.

Eight targets in win Schultz caught four of eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots in Week 6.

Impact Schultz was given a season-high eight targets -- second most on the team -- as the Houston offense was without Nico Collins, who is on injured reserve for at least another three games. Expect Schultz to get more looks while Collins remains sidelined, which could eventually translate into touchdowns. Schultz has yet to score in 2024.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Season-high six targets in win Schultz caught four of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills in Week 5.

Impact For the second straight week, Schultz received a bump in targets with one of Houston's top-three wideouts injured. After Nico Collins (hamstring) was removed from the game and Buffalo's defense made life difficult for quarterback C.J. Stroud in the second half, Schultz became a security blanket for the second-year quarterback. All six of the tight end's targets came during the third and fourth quarters. Schultz, who received five looks last week when Tank Dell was inactive, has caught 16 targets over the last three games compared to six over the first two games of the season.
