Dalton Schultz Week 13 Outlook - Colts at Texans

By Mike Tagliere (FantasyPros), Thu, Dec 3rd 2020, 10:25am EST

There are only a handful of tight ends who can say they're averaging six targets per game this year, but Schultz is one of them. He's finished with 22-53 yards in each of the last six games without Dak Prescott, which is presenting some sort of floor, though the ceiling is lacking, especially knowing this offense has averaged just 14.7 points per game without Prescott. Now going to play the Ravens, a team that allows just 19.5 points per game (third-lowest mark in NFL), those ceiling concerns aren't going away. I will say, however, that the tight end position is the one who's been least affected by the matchup. They've been a pretty average team against the position, allowing 6.72 yards per target and a 67.8 percent catch-rate to tight ends, which are both in line with the league averages, but the volume has been slightly above average, as tight ends have seen 7.9 targets per game against them. No tight end has finished with more than 14.8 PPR points against them, but seven tight ends have been able to finish with at least 10.3 PPR points. Those are not bad outcomes for someone like Schultz, who should be considered a mid-to-high-end TE2 for this game.
