Why Dalton Schultz Should Be Dropped from Fantasy Teams

<h3><strong>Dalton Schultz of the Houston Texans: Time to Drop</strong></h3>
<h4><strong>Why Schultz Has Disappointed</strong></h4>
<p>Schultz has been a massive letdown for fantasy managers. Despite being a veteran presence and a presumed safety valve for quarterback CJ Stroud, Schultz has barely contributed:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Lack of Targets</strong>: Schultz isn’t seeing consistent involvement in the passing game, especially in the red zone.</li>
<li><strong>Competition for Looks</strong>: With <strong>Nico Collins</strong>, <strong>Tank Dell</strong>, and <strong>Robert Woods</strong> all playing significant roles, Schultz has been relegated to a secondary option.</li>
<li><strong>Minimal Production</strong>: His best game of the season last week included a single 25-yard catch, a far cry from what fantasy managers expected.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Fantasy Take</strong></h4>
<p>Schultz is no longer a viable starting tight end in fantasy football. His lack of volume and touchdown upside makes him droppable in all formats, even with favorable matchups.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Drop Schultz in all leagues</strong>, regardless of depth. There are better options like <strong>Jake Ferguson of the Dallas Cowboys</strong>, <strong>Hunter Henry of the New England Patriots</strong>, or even low-end streamers like <strong>Mike Gesicki of the Cincinnati Bengals</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3><strong>This Week’s Matchup: Texans vs. Cowboys</strong></h3>
<p>The Texans face the <strong>Cowboys</strong> this week, and while this game may carry a revenge-game narrative for Schultz, it’s hard to trust him to deliver. The Cowboys are among the better defenses against tight ends, limiting production at the position consistently.</p>
<h4><strong>Fantasy Recommendation</strong></h4>
<p>Avoid Schultz this week. With <strong>Collins</strong> returning and <strong>Dell</strong> continuing to emerge as a star, Schultz will struggle to find meaningful opportunities.</p>
<hr />
<h3><strong>Houston Texans: Betting Insight</strong></h3>
<h4><strong>Betting Lines</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Spread</strong>: Cowboys +7</li>
<li><strong>Total Points</strong>: 46.5</li>
</ul>
<p>Houston is a clear favorite in this matchup, and the game script may force CJ Stroud to air it out. However, Schultz’s limited involvement in the offense makes him a poor bet to contribute significantly.</p>
<h4><strong>Player Props to Consider</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Schultz Under 2.5 Receptions</strong>: The Cowboys’ defense will likely neutralize Schultz, keeping his production minimal.</li>
<li><strong>Dell Over 75.5 Receiving Yards</strong>: Dell has emerged as Stroud’s go-to target and should continue to see heavy volume.</li>
</ul>
<h4><strong>Game Bet</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li>Bet on <strong>Cowboys +7</strong>. The Texans have shown promise this season, but Dallas’ defense should be able to limit Houston’s scoring opportunities.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3><strong>Rest-of-Season Outlook for the Texans</strong></h3>
<h4><strong>CJ Stroud: A Rising Star</strong></h4>
<p>While Schultz has faded into irrelevance, Stroud has thrived, making the Texans’ offense exciting. With weapons like <strong>Collins</strong>, <strong>Dell</strong>, and <strong>Dameon Pierce</strong>, Stroud should remain a QB1 option in fantasy leagues.</p>
<h4><strong>Other Texans to Target</strong></h4>
<ul>
<li><strong>Dell</strong>: Start with confidence in all formats. His rapport with Stroud is undeniable, and he’s a weekly WR2 with WR1 upside.</li>
<li><strong>Collins</strong>: Returning from injury, Collins has the potential to provide solid WR3 value.</li>
</ul>
<hr />
<h3><strong>Final Thoughts: Time to Move On</strong></h3>
<p>Schultz’s time as a viable fantasy option has passed. While his revenge-game narrative against Dallas might seem tempting, the numbers suggest he’s not worth the risk. Drop Schultz and move on to more reliable tight-end options.</p>
<p>From a betting perspective, focus on player props for Houston’s wide receivers and fade Schultz entirely. As the Texans’ offense continues to evolve, it’s clear that Schultz is no longer a meaningful part of their plans.</p>
