Should You Start or Sit Dalton Schultz in Week 15?
It may not seem like much, but Schultz has been the better of the Dalton tight ends this season, and it hasn’t been close. Houston’s tight end has been a top-15 performer at the position in three of his past four games, a level of production that isn’t going to swing matchups, but can save you from complete disaster.
There is, of course, a risk profile here that you have to consider and that is why he is available in some spots and ranked outside of the top-10. Schultz has but one end-zone target this season (Week 6) and hasn’t reached 50 air yards in a contest since Halloween.
For me, I’m comfortable going in this direction if pushed. Tank Dell is averaging just 47 yards with a 52% catch rate over the past month, leaving the door open for Schultz to be, consistently, C.J. Stroud’s second option in a passing game with top-10 upside.
For me, he’s not much different than a Mark Andrews or Pat Freiermuth in that regard – a profile that ranks as a low-end TE1 in a game that could see plenty of points scored.
