From the article

Dalton Schultz had 82 catches for 777 yards and three touchdowns in 2025 to finish TE11 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. With robust target competition, Schultz might be hard-pressed to match the career-high 106 targets he saw last season. It's best to consider Schultz a midrange TE2 for fantasy, even though he was more than that last season.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Schultz's 106 targets in 2025 unlikely to repeat; target competition and pass-light offense suggest TE2 floor.

Schultz had 82 catches for 777 yards and three touchdowns in 2025 to finish TE11 in half-point PPR, with the modest TD total limiting his fantasy impact. He finished tied with Jake Ferguson for third among tight ends in receptions behind only Trey McBride and Kyle Pitts, and sixth among TEs in receiving yards. However, with robust target competition from Nico Collins, Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, and Tank Dell (if healthy), Schultz might be hard-pressed to match the career-high 106 targets he saw last season. Since Houston has one of the best defenses in the league, the Texans aren't likely to be a pass-heavy team in 2026, making Schultz best considered a midrange TE2 despite finishing higher last season.
