Outlook Theo Johnson
Declining Draft Value Offers a Low-Risk Tight End Dart Throw
After a breakout sophomore campaign in 2025 where he caught 48 passes for 605 yards and five touchdowns, Theo Johnson enters his third year in a modified role. He is currently slotted behind Isaiah Likely on the depth chart, presenting an immediate roadblock to consistent weekly targets.
Despite this depth-chart hurdle, Johnson could see early opportunities with star receiver Malik Nabers recovering from an ACL tear. Our models project Johnson to catch 27 passes for 292 yards and three touchdowns, reflecting a more conservative split role.
Market sentiment has soured, with his ADP plummeting from a June peak of 157 down to 286 in PPR formats. While his rostership has slipped to 38%, our projections view him as an intriguing late-round stash if he can outproduce his current backup billing.

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.
