From the article

With robust target competition, Schultz might be hard-pressed to match the career-high 106 targets he saw last season. And since Houston has one of the best defenses in the league, the Texans aren't likely to be a pass-heavy team in 2026.

Schultz's 106-target career high unlikely to repeat with target competition and strong defense.

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 fantasy impact. He tied Jake Ferguson for third among tight ends in receptions (behind only Trey McBride and Kyle Pitts) and finished sixth in receiving yards. However, with Nico Collins as an established star wide receiver and Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, and Tank Dell rounding out the WR corps, Schultz faces robust target competition. Since Houston has one of the best defenses in the league and won't be pass-heavy, Schultz will be hard-pressed to match his career-high 106 targets from 2025. The source projects him as a midrange TE2 despite 2025 performance.
