Player Notes
Nov 29 4:40am CT

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been very busy this season and emerged as a PPR contributor in his team's passing attack. Last week against the Bills, he only had one catch, snapping a streak of 10 straight games with multiple receptions to start the season. He had at least six catches in three straight games before last Thursday's letdown, and he'll look to bounce back in Week 13 as the Texans head to Indianapolis to face the Colts in a divisional matchup. The Colts have been a favorable matchup for tight ends, and Schultz will get C.J. Stroud back at QB after he missed three weeks with a concussion. Stroud and Schultz have a strong connection, which is enough to make Schultz the No. 13 TE in the RotoBaller Week 13 rankings. He's not quite a "must-start" in this matchup, but he definitely makes a strong option in 12-team leagues or if you need some help at the position due to injury or ineffectiveness of the other options available this week.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz had one catch (on four targets) for nine yards during the team's Week 12 win over the Buffalo Bills.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz had seen his production go up with Davis Mills under center, but that was not the case on Thursday night, and now C.J. Stroud (concussion) is set to return. In Stroud's seven full games this season, Schultz averaged just 44 yards per game without a touchdown. We'll see if that trend continues in Week 13. For now, Schultz is worth owning exclusively in leagues deep enough to carry a TE2.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been extremely consistent this season, getting plenty of volume for PPR leagues. He has at least five catches in seven of his last eight games and has 20 targets from backup QB Davis Mills over the last two weeks. Mills will make another start against the Bills on Thursday Night Football with C.J. Stroud (concussion) still sidelined. The Bills have allowed the fewest fantasy points per game to tight ends this season, so it's a tough spot for Schultz, despite his regular production. RotoBaller has Schlutz ranked as the No. 12 TE this week, making him a fringe starter in standard-sized leagues and a great TE2. He has more value in leagues where his number of receptions can help him compensate for low yardage totals.

Houston Texans LB Jamal Hill (hamstring), S Jalen Pitre (concussion) and QB C.J. Stroud (concussion) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 19, and have been ruled out for Week 12. LB Azeez Al-Shaair (illness, knee), DE Will Anderson Jr. (ankle), DE Denico Autry (knee), WR Braxton Berrios (quadriceps), OT Trent Brown (hand, knee), CB Myles Bryant (ankle), WR Nico Collins (ankle), PK Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps), LB Jake Hansen (elbow), OT Tytus Howard (ankle, knee), OG Ed Ingram (knee), QB Davis Mills (elbow), TE Dalton Schultz (shoulder) and TE Cade Stover (foot) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (shoulder) fully participated in practice Wednesday, Nov. 19, and is not on the injury report for Week 12.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz has been a big part of the passing game lately with 28 targets over the last three games. He has posted at least 50 yards in five of his last six games and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in leagues.

Nov 18 5:30pm CT

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) continues to manage a shoulder injury, but he should be active on Thursday night in Week 12 against the Buffalo Bills after upgrading to a full practice on Tuesday. Schultz was listed as limited on the team's Monday practice estimation. The 29-year-old's shoulder injury has not slowed him down on the field on game days, as he has a nice three-game stretch consisting of 19 catches, 181 yards, and a touchdown on 28 targets. He has had at least eight targets during that span and has seen at least eight targets in four of the last five games. The last two weeks with starting quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) sidelined, Schultz has been a nice safety blanket for Davis Mills, catching 13 of 20 targets for 104 yards and his first touchdown of the year. Schultz is trending up going into Thursday's tilt while being on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (shoulder) practiced in full on Tuesday, Nov. 18.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz has been a reliable target for Texans' quarterbacks in 2025. He is coming off a productive week with Davis Mills under center, so with him being the starter again, he is worth playing in your lineup as a low-end TE1.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) was listed as a limited practice participant on Monday's estimated injury report, according to ESPN's DJ Bien-Aime. It's an injury that Schultz has been dealing with for the last month, but he's played in the last four games and should be good to go for this Thursday night's tilt against the Buffalo Bills in Week 12, barring a setback. The 29-year-old got off to a slow start in 2025, not going over 39 receiving yards in any of his first four games. Since Week 7, though, he has 30 catches on 41 targets for 303 yards and a touchdown in five games. Schultz has been heavily involved with quarterback C.J. Stroud (concussion) out of the last two games, too, catching 13 of 20 targets for 104 yards and a score. Even if Stroud is out again this week, Schultz will be on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy football.

WR Braxton Berrios (quadriceps), CB Myles Bryant (ankle), PK Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps), LB Jake Hansen (elbow), OG Ed Ingram (knee), QB Davis Mills (elbow) and TE Cade Stover (foot) fully participated in practice. The Texans only held a walkthrough Monday, so this is an estimation.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (shoulder) was limited during practice Monday, Nov. 17. The Texans only held a walkthrough Monday, so this is an estimation.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz has been dealing with the injury for several weeks but has not missed any games and should be available to play against the Buffalo Bills. He has posted at least 50 yards in four of the last five games and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in fantasy leagues.

Nov 17 7:10am CT

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz remains a PPR stalwart, hauling in six passes on nine targets for 51 yards in Sunday's win over the Titans. Schultz was second on the team in targets and catches behind only Nico Collins, and he has at least five catches in seven of his last eight games. His yardage totals usually aren't very impressive, but he's up to 51 receptions in his 10 games this season. Tight end Cade Stover was activated from IR before Sunday's game and played 14 snaps (20%). He could cut into Schultz's workload as he gets back to full strength, but for now, Schultz is getting enough opportunities to be a fringe starter in standard-sized leagues that emphasize receptions over yards.

From RotoBaller

Nov 16 7:03pm CT

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz ended up with six catches for 51 yards on nine targets in Week 11 against the Tennessee Titans.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz has picked up the pace with six or more receptions in each of the past three games, and he has 51 or more receiving yards in three in a row, and five of the past six outings. He has re-emerged as a low-end TE1 in PPR leagues, with slightly lesser appeal in standard play.

From TheHuddle

Nov 15 6:20am CT

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a key PPR contributor this season, and he's a fringe starting option this week against the Titans. The veteran missed practice on Wednesday and Thursday with a shoulder injury, but he does not have an injury designation coming into Week 11. He found the end zone for the first time this season last week against the Jaguars, finishing with seven catches for 53 yards and his score. He has at least five catches in six of his last seven games, and even though his yardage totals haven't been impressive, he's been regularly involved enough to be the TE13 in RotoBaller's rankings for Week 11, as he comes into a favorable matchup against the Titans.

From RotoBaller

Nov 14 9:43pm CT

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz has finished with at least six receptions and at least eight targets in three of his last four games.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz has topped 50 receiving yards three times in that span, and he saw a season-high 11 targets against Jacksonville in Week 10 with Davis Mills under center. Mills will start again in Week 11 against Tennessee, so Schultz could be headed for another busy game. He has TE1 upside and is a strong streaming option.

From TheHuddle

Nov 14 8:00pm CT

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (illness, shoulder) was able to practice in full on Friday and has been cleared to play in Sunday's divisional tilt against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11. Schultz's status for this weekend wasn't looking good when he missed practice on both Wednesday and Thursday due to an illness and a shoulder injury, but he'll be ready to roll after a full practice on Friday. The 29-year-old is coming off a seven-catch, 53-yard performance on a season-high 11 targets in last week's win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, in which he also caught his first touchdown of the year. Backup quarterback Davis Mills looked Schultz's way often in a miraculous comeback, but fantasy managers can't count on that kind of volume from Mills for a second straight week. Still, in a good matchup against the one-win Titans, Schultz should at least be on the TE1/2 borderline as a fantasy streamer this weekend.

Houston Texans S Jalen Pitre (concussion), QB C.J. Stroud (concussion), PK Ka'imi Fairbairn (quadriceps), CB Damon Arnette (ankle) and TE Harrison Bryant (neck shoulder) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 14, and have been ruled out for Week 11. OG Ed Ingram (knee) was limited during practice and is listed as questionable. FB Jakob Johnson (hamstring) and TE Cade Stover (foot) fully participated in practice but are listed as questionable. LB Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), QB Davis Mills (elbow), WR Braxton Berrios (quadriceps), LB Jake Hansen (elbow), LB Christian Harris (shin), OT Tytus Howard (concussion), TE Dalton Schultz (illness, shoulder) and DE Denico Autry (knee) fully participated in practice and are not on the injury report.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (illness, shoulder) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 14, and is not on the injury report for Week 11.

Fantasy Spin: Schultz likely missed the practice Thursday, Nov. 13, because of the illness and should be able to handle his normal workload. He has posted at least 50 yards in three of his last four games and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in some leagues.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) is missing a second straight day of practice this week on Thursday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Sports. With two DNPs to begin the week, Schultz is firmly up in the air to play this weekend against the division-rival Tennessee Titans. It's pretty disappointing for any fantasy managers who picked up the 29-year-old after he had seven receptions on a season-high 11 targets for 53 yards and his first touchdown of 2025 in last week's spirited comeback win over the Jacksonville Jaguars. The good news, though, is that Schultz missed two practices back in Week 9 with knee and shoulder injuries before returning to practice on Friday and playing that Sunday. Schultz may need a full practice this Friday to be cleared to play on Sunday. Harrison Bryant (neck, shoulder) is also banged up, and Cade Stover (foot) is still on IR, so Houston's TE corps could be dangerously thin if Schultz cannot play this Sunday.
