Dalton Schultz

Week 6 at Patriots

Schultz will have his most difficult matchup in Week 6 against the New England Patriots. New England is fourth in tight end aFPA and has not allowed one to top 30 yards receiving. The position as a whole has only caught one touchdown on 11 receptions. Week 5 was the first time the Patriots allowed over 30 yards to the position in one week. Schultz has been excellent through five games and has a chance to put up the most fantasy points at the position. He ranks 10th in 4for4’s Week 6 tight end rankings.

Week 4 vs Carolina Panthers

Dalton Schultz continued to see at least 10% more snaps than fellow tight end Blake Jarwin and also logged the best day either has had through three weeks. Schultz also saw a 7-2 target over Jarwin. There is clear volatility at the tight end position in Dallas but Schultz has seen 1.67 more targets per game than Jarwin through three weeks. Schultz is outside the TE1 rankings but is a consideration in tight end-premium leagues.

Week 2 vs Chargers

As long as the receiving work is split between Blake Jarwin and Dalton Schultz, it is difficult to trust either. Jarwin caught three of four targets for 20 yards in Week 1 compared to Schultz’s 6/6/45. This is a solid return for those that waited out the Cowboys' tight end position, but unless Schultz can land a similar catch and yardage mark, he will be streamer fodder at best. The good thing is 34% of Dak Prescott’s throws were to the tight end position.
