Outlook Dalton Schultz

High-Floor Tight End Value in a Potent Houston Offense

Operating as the clear top tight end on the depth chart, Dalton Schultz enters the year as a trusted weapon for quarterback C.J. Stroud. After a highly productive campaign in which he hauled in 83 receptions, he remains a key safety valve in this potent passing attack.

Our projections expect another reliable season, forecasting 62 receptions for 593 yards and 3 touchdowns on 83 targets. While sharing opportunities with wideouts Nico Collins and Tank Dell limits his overall ceiling, his consistent utilization in the red zone maintains his weekly utility.

His draft market trajectory saw major fluctuation, peaking briefly in the late-ninth round before leveling off stubbornly at an ADP of 163. This stable, late-round price tag in PPR leagues presents an excellent value opportunity for managers adopting a late-round tight end draft strategy.

Outlook Cade Otton

Target-Volume Tight End Represents Late-Round Value Option

Cade Otton enters the season as Tampa Bay's clear top tight end, comfortably ahead of Payne Durham on the depth chart. While coaches plan to scale back Otton’s league-leading snap count by a few plays per game to keep him fresh, he remains a staple of this Baker Mayfield-led passing game.

Our models project Otton to secure 54 receptions for 529 yards and three touchdowns. This matches his steady career trajectory, where he has recorded over 590 receiving yards in back-to-back campaigns. He provides fantasy rosters with a secure baseline of weekly routes.

Otton's ADP has stabilized at 196 after sliding from higher peaks in early June. Currently rostered in 25% of leagues, we view him as an exceptional late-round PPR value and a low-risk asset for managers who prefer to wait on tight end.
