News: 7 hours agoSchultz caught four of eight targets for 35 yards in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills.

Spin: Schultz's eight targets were second on the team to Nico Collins' 10 on 38 pass attempts by C.J. Stroud. Schultz doesn't offer much big-play ability at 30 years old, but he's a reliable target in the middle of the field and saw his floor raise when Jayden Higgins went down with a season-ending torn ACL over the summer. The veteran tight end will be a borderline TE1/2 next Sunday against the Bengals.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Schultz has been one of the league's most consistent tight ends over the past six years, but with the exception of one season, he hasn't been overly useful in fantasy. Schultz was fantasy's No. 3 tight end in scoring while he was in Dallas in 2021, but he has finished 10th or worse in his other eight campaigns (that includes exactly 10th in three of the past four seasons). In 2025, Schultz ranked sixth or better at the position in targets, catches and yards, but he found the end zone only three times and has now cleared five touchdowns once in his career (eight in 2021). Schultz is a reliable target for QB C.J. Stroud, but with Houston's depth at wide receiver, he simply doesn't offer much upside. Consider him a low-ceiling TE2.
