Dalton Schultz

Dalton Schultz had 82 catches for 777 yards and three touchdowns in 2025 to finish TE11 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. The modest TD total limited his fantasy impact, but Schultz finished tied with Jake Ferguson for third among tight ends in receptions behind only Trey McBride and Kyle Pitts. Schultz finished sixth among TEs in receiving yards. The Texans have an established star at wide receiver with Nico Collins, and Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel and (if healthy) Tank Dell round out a pretty good WR corps. With robust target competition, Schultz might be hard-pressed to match the career-high 106 targets he saw last season. And since Houston has one of the best defenses in the league, the Texans aren't likely to be a pass-heavy team in 2026. It's best to consider Schultz a midrange TE2 for fantasy, even though he was more than that last season.

The Texans and TE Dalton Schultz have agreed to terms on a one-year extension worth $12.6 million.

Fantasy Impact

Schultz will now earn $17.6 million guaranteed combining the 2026 and 2027 seasons. He was a safety blanket for CJ Stroud for much of last season and that will likely remain the case again this upcoming year.
