Houston has given Schultz plenty of underneath routes—48 curls or hitches and 35 flats on 180 season routes—but only 11% of his routes have come off play-action, near the bottom among qualified tight ends. The problem is his route share has dropped to 59% over the last three games, leaving him short of a locked-in TE role even after a busy game against the Giants; he's a drop in most non-TEP leagues.

Dalton Schultz's snap share has declined significantly from 70% in 2025 to 57% this season as Foster Moreau has eaten into his playing time. Moreau's presence helps Houston's offense avoid predictability, suggesting Schultz's role is diminishing in the Texans' tight end rotation.

The source notes the reversal of declining snap share and his consistent target volume.

Schultz was the primary beneficiary of the Texans' limited wide receiver production, recording 5 catches for 45 yards. With Nico Collins, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Noah Brown all underperforming or injured, Schultz emerged as a reliable target and the offense's most productive pass-catcher.

Ranked 13th among tight ends for Week 7, but facing significant role volatility. The source notes that Schultz no longer has a tight end one opportunity (first or second in pecking order) due to competing weapons: Marvin Harrison Jr., Jalen Noel performing well, and Tank Dell returning. This represents a major downgrade from his previous 14-target game, making his target volume unpredictable going forward.

Schultz posted 140 yards in week two against the Bengals but has managed only 102 yards across the four games since, a significant production decline; he carries a position-high 37 targets without a touchdown this season. Ian Hartitz is hopeful for eventual touchdown production but uncertain about timing.

Schultz posted a 12-140-0 receiving line against the Bengals in Week 2 but has managed just 12 receptions for 102 yards in four games since. He holds the unfortunate distinction of having the most targets (37) of any tight end without a receiving touchdown. While C.J. Stroud is cooking, Schultz's inability to convert targets into touchdowns remains a concern.

Schultz is identified as a clear path to production in Houston's elite air yards offense, which is averaging 337 air yards per game (seventh in pass rate over expected). The source groups Schultz with Marvin Harrison Jr., Nico Collins, and Jaylin Noel as beneficiaries of the Texans' consistent high-volume passing attack.

Schultz is getting phased out in Houston's offense due to a crowded target tree with too many options; he's expected to have sporadic production (e.g., 'six for 75 game') rather than consistent weekly role, similar to Trey Tucker's inconsistency with the Texans.

Schultz is a complete no-go for fantasy TEs with a season-low route participation of 53% in Week 6. Although he caught 4 of 6 for 33 yards (16.7% target share, up from 11.1%) on 25 of 63 snaps (40%, down from 52% in Week 5 and 64% in Week 4), his role is shrinking.

NegativeUsageOct 20, 2026Fantasy Life Articles

Dalton Schultz led Houston in targets with six in Week 6 but logged just 40% of snaps (his lowest mark of the season) and ran just 53% of routes. He hasn't reached 60% route participation since Week 3, well below the 70-75% mark desired for tight ends. Schultz relies heavily on volume but doesn't produce much with his targets, and with Marvin Harrison Jr. getting more involved each week and Tank Dell set to return, there is little left for him; he offers a low floor and very low ceiling.

Schultz could not maintain his footing on a key 1st half reception on a third down, forcing Houston to punt. The source attributes this to the slick field conditions at Wembley Stadium, which impacted both teams throughout the game.

Dalton Schultz is identified as a weak starting tight end on a team that needs tight end help. Flock Fantasy uses this team as an example of a trade target for upgrading at the position, suggesting teams with weak tight end depth like Schultz starters are candidates to trade running backs like Chase Brown to.
