Expert Note
View More NotesIf you need a Week 2 streamer at tight end and Dalton Schultz is available in your league, grab him.
Schultz gets a primo Week 2 matchup against the Bengals, who were bludgeoned by tight ends in 2025. The Bengals gave up the most fantasy points to tight ends last season by far, yielding a league-high 116 catches, 1,444 receiving yards and 16 touchdown catches to the position.
Schultz had a modest 4-35-0 Week 1 stat line on eight targets, but he should play a prominent role this season, helping to take up the slack for second-year wide receiver Jayden Higgins, who's out for the year with a torn ACL.

Fantasy Impact
The veteran tight end was given Wednesday off as a veteran rest day to start the week. He is likely to be back at practice on Thursday and should play in Week 2, barring anything unforeseen between now and then. He remains a fringe streaming option at the tight end position at this point.
