DAL TE Dalton Schultz - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Los Angeles Rams
The dreaded goose egg is exactly what Dalton Schultz gifted fantasy mangers last week. A major let down in an already scarce position, this one hurt.

To make matters worse, the Rams held George Kittle to just two catches for 24 yards. I am hoping this past week was a fluke for Schultz but I am a bit nervous. Unfortunately, there may not be any other better options.

DAL TE Dalton Schultz - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Washington Commanders
After missing this past week with a knee injury, it is looking like Dalton Schultz is on track to play this week. While his only other game with Rush this season was a disappointment, I still believe in Schultz as a reliable pass catcher in this offense.

It is yet to be known how involved he will be or if he will be on any sort of pitch count, but given the brutal landscape of the tight end position, if Schultz is out there, you are starting him. There are much worse options.

DAL TE Dalton Schultz - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 vs. Cincinnati Bengals
Prescott going down with an injury is obviously a massive blow to this entire Dallas team. However, I think tight end Dalton Schultz is the least impacted here. Backup quarterbacks tend to rely more on tight ends as a safety outlet when throwing the ball.

Recording seven catches for 62 yards last week, it is apparent Schultz will be a big part of this passing attack. While he only caught two passes in Rush's start last season, he was targeted seven times. Cincinnati just allowed five catches for 75 yards to tight end Pat Freiermuth last week. In a thin tight end landscape, you are firing up Schultz and hoping Rush can pepper this reliable pass catcher.

DAL TE Dalton Schultz - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Finishing last season as the TE3, Dalton Schultz seemingly came out of nowhere. Now, with Amari Cooper gone and Dallas in search for someone to step up into the WR2 role, Schultz could easily be the second-most targeted player on this team. I'm in.

Fire up Schultz this week confidently as a TE1. In a game where the pass catchers will need to make plays, expect Prescott to look his way early and often. There is also a good chance Schultz finds himself in the end zone.

DAL TE Dalton Schultz - 2022 Fantasy Football Outlook

2022 Fantasy Upside
Dalton Schultz has been one of the most productive tight ends over the past two seasons. Schultz ranks fourth among all tight ends in total fantasy points, and was one of only three tight ends to exceed 200 fantasy points last season. Schultz received the team’s franchise tag, translating to a one-year, $10.9 million deal. The 26-year-old Schultz is highly motivated for a multi-year deal in 2023, and is coming off a season where he ranked third at the position in receptions (78).

2022 Fantasy Downside
Schultz finished as the TE5 in PPR scoring, but is now being drafted exactly in that area. Can he live up to those lofty expectations? With Tony Pollard expected to see an increase in targets, could Schultz lose value despite residing in one of the NFL’s best offenses?

2022 Bottom Line
The loss of wide receivers Amari Cooper and Cedrick Wilson equates to 205 vacated targets. Even if Schultz's efficiency regresses, his target volume should compensate. He ranked Top 10 in deep targets and gathered 14 red zone targets despite playing eight games with former tight end Blake Jarwin. Schultz doesn’t carry the upside of the fantasy tight ends drafted earlier, but his place in the Cowboys offense provides the safest of production floors.

DAL TE Dalton Schultz - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 versus Arizona Cardinals

Dalton Schultz’s demise was greatly exaggerated. Schultz has produced consecutive eight catch games and has touchdowns in each of his past two games. Touchdowns are always icing on the cake, so his 149 receiving yards is the important number. Schultz is finding success despite battling for targets with one of the best receiver trios in football and two backs capable of flipping games in the passing attack. Schultz has volatility because the Cowboys' offense is so good, but it is difficult to imagine his role changing Week 17 with Dallas scoring in bunches of late.

DAL TE Dalton Schultz - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 versus Washington Football Team

Schultz put up his second-best fantasy performance of the season Week 15 and will look to essentially do anything against the Washington Football Team Week 16. Schultz put up 1.4 full-PPR fantasy points in Week 14 against WFT. The WFT defense is a pass funnel, and the hope is Schultz does not see a repeat performance against a poor passing defense. Schultz is a TE1, albeit behind the elite options.
