Dalton Schultz - Page 6 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Five targets in win Schultz caught three of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over Jacksonville in Week 4.

Impact For a second straight week, Schultz dealt with an ankle injury during the practice week, but he played significantly. In Week 3, he logged 96 percent of the offensive snaps and was on the field for 87 percent of plays Sunday. Schultz moved up to third on the target list with Tank Dell (chest) inactive for the game.

Puts in full practice Schultz (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Schultz opened Week 4 prep Wednesday as a limited practice participant, but his ability to take every rep in Thursday's session clears up any lingering doubt about his availability for this Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Expect the tight end to once again take on ample playing time after he logged 96 percent of Houston's snaps on offense in the Week 3 loss to Minnesota. Schultz drew five targets against the Vikings, and he could see his role in the passing attack expand if either or both of Nico Collins (hamstring) and Tank Dell (chest) aren't cleared to play versus the Jaguars.

Limited practice Wednesday Schultz (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Schultz continues to manage an ankle issue, but he logged a 96 percent snap share in the Texans' Week 3 loss to the Vikings. Given that there's been no reported setbacks with his injury, chances are the tight end's Wednesday limitations were simply more workload management.

SEPTEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Plays nearly every snap Schultz caught two of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings in Week 3.

Impact Schultz, who had been hobbled by an ankle injury during the practice week, was on the field for 96 percent of the offensive snaps. The season-ending injury to Brevin Jordan (knee) cleared out the lone real threat to Schultz as a target from the tight end position. His five targets Sunday were a season high.

Takes every rep Thursday Schultz (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Schultz was a limited participant Wednesday in the Texans' first Week 3 practice session, but his ability to take every rep a day later clears the way for the tight end to suit up Sunday in Minnesota. Through the first two weeks of the season, Schultz has produced a 5-37-0 receiving line on six targets while playing at least 70 percent of the offensive snaps in both contests. With top backup Brevin Jordan (knee) suffering a season-ending ACL tear in Week 2, Schultz could see a slight uptick in his snap count moving forward.

SEPTEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Limited practice Wednesday Schultz (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Schultz missed back-to-back practices last week before logging a full session Friday and avoiding a Week 2 injury designation. In the Texans' subsequent win over the Bears, Schultz caught two of his three targets for 21 yards while logging a 71 percent snap share. With no reported setbacks in that contest, it's plausible that Schultz's listed limitations Wednesday were simply load management ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Logs two catches in win Schultz caught two of three targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over Chicago.

Impact Schultz dealt with a minor ankle injury that forced him to miss two practices but was ready to go Sunday. He has six targets and five catches for 37 yards through two games. Schultz had five more targets after two weeks in 2023, which suggests the addition of wide receiver Stefon Diggs is cutting into the tight end's opportunities.

Logs two catches in win Schultz caught two of three targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over Chicago in Week 2.

Impact Schultz dealt with a minor ankle injury that forced him to miss two practices this week, but he was ready to go Sunday. The tight end has five catches on six targets for 37 yards through two games. Schultz had five more targets after two weeks in 2023, which suggests the addition of wide receiver Stefon Diggs is cutting into his opportunities.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Good to go against Bears Schultz (ankle) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.

Impact Schultz sat out a pair of practices Wednesday and Thursday, but it looks like those absences were mostly for maintenance, as he will again be able to play through the ankle injury he suffered early in the 29-22 Week 1 win over the Colts. He stayed in that game after initially sustaining the injury. Schultz's fantasy managers can deploy him as usual when the Texans host the Bears for Sunday Night Football.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back at practice Schultz (ankle) returned to practice Friday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Schultz, who missed practice Wednesday and Thursday, is dealing with a minor sprained ankle and is expected to play Sunday night against the Bears. That said, it's still possible the Texans list the tight end as questionable for the contest on the team's final Week 2 injury report.

Diagnosed with ankle sprain Schultz suffered an ankle sprain early in Sunday's 29-22 win over Colts but managed to play through the injury, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

Impact No injury was reported during the game, but Schultz has since missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday with a previously ambiguous ankle issue. Fowler suggests that the injury isn't severe, though his status is still in jeopardy if he can't return to the practice field Friday.

SEPTEMBER 13, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Thursday Schultz (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.

Impact Schultz, who didn't practice Wednesday, thus has one more opportunity to log on-field preparation ahead of Sunday night's contest against the Bears. In the event that he's limited or out this weekend, added Week 2 opportunities would be available for fellow TEs Brevin Jordan and Cade Stover.

SEPTEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice Wednesday Schultz (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Schultz played 79 percent of offensive snaps in Week 1 while securing all three of his targets for 16 yards, but he appears to have sustained an ankle injury in the process. The starting tight end will have two more opportunities to increase his activity level before Houston tags him with an injury designation for Sunday night's matchup against the Bears. If Schultz ends up limited or has to miss any time, Brevin Jordan will stand to draw the start at tight end.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Three targets Week 1 Schultz caught all three targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts in Week 1.

Impact As expected, Schultz was the snap and target leader at the tight end position, ahead of Brevin Jordan, but he may be hard pressed to repeat the 88 targets he had in 2023. The target distribution Sunday heavily skewed to the wideouts, who were targeted 22 times compared to five for the tight ends.

Makes preseason debut Schultz did not catch his lone target in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Schultz made his preseason debut and played 11 snaps in the first quarter. The Texans quickly extended him for three years during the offseason, after Schultz developed chemistry with then-rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Houston added a high-profile target in Stefon Diggs, which could cut into Schultz's opportunities.
