Dalton Schultz's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz was targeted four times Sunday against Miami, but finished with just two catches for 13 yards in a 20-12 victory. It was the tight end's second-lowest output of the season after being held to 11 receiving yards against Minnesota in Week 3. In this one, however, every other Texans skill player was in the same boat as Schultz, as the team gained only 181 total yards. The veteran tight end has now finished in the top 10 at his position once in 14 weeks. He and the Texans will look for a more productive day at Kansas City in Week 16.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz should be considered a TE2 as his team prepares to take on the Miami Dolphins in Week 15. The big tight end finally broke a long touchdown drought in his last outing and has a respectable 16 targets in his past three contests, but also has been limited to three or fewer catches in eight of 13 games this season. The former Stanford Cardinal has consistently been a high-floor, low-ceiling option: he never gets shut out completely, but rarely goes off with a week-changing performance. Against a Miami defense that ranks 17th versus his position, Schultz should be saved only for formats that start more than one tight end.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz broke a regular-season touchdown drought of more than a year, finding the end zone and accumulating five catches for 61 yards in a 23-20 victory against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The veteran had not scored in 17 straight regular-season games prior to Sunday, but connected with quarterback C.J. Stroud for a 22-yard scoring strike. The Stanford product has normally been a secondary option in the Texans' offense, but drew seven targets on Sunday, which was second only to top receiver Nico Collins. Schultz will look for more of the same after a Week 14 bye.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) has returned to Sunday's Week 13 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He missed roughly six minutes of game time as the Texans evaluated his injury, listed him as questionable, and cleared him to return. He'll look to build on his four-catch, 39-yard effort over the final 16-plus minutes of Sunday's game, but his role could be reduced if the Texans adopt a run-heavy approach with a 10-point lead over the Jaguars.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. He is officially questionable to return. Schultz landed hard on his shoulder after hurdling over a defender, and he hasn't been on the field since. At the time of his departure, he had caught four of his five targets for 39 yards. Cade Stover will step up as the Texans' primary tight end until Schultz can return to the mix.
