Outlook Dalton Schultz

Dalton Schultz at Indianapolis — Massive Target Surge Fuels TE1 Value

Operating as Houston's unquestioned top tight end, Schultz has emerged as an indispensable weapon for C.J. Stroud early this season. Through two weeks, he has commanded 22 targets—highlighted by a 12-catch, 140-yard explosion—and could see continued heavy involvement with top wideout Nico Collins currently dealing with a hamstring injury.

Our weekly projection forecasts Schultz for 10.5 fantasy points on roughly 6.5 targets and 47 receiving yards against the Colts. His roster rate has spiked to 84% as trust grows in his steady volume. At a volatile tight end position, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats as a dependable starter.

Outlook Marcus Mariota

Marcus Mariota Set to Start Against Seattle

Marcus Mariota steps in under center for the Commanders with starter Jayden Daniels doubtful due to an elbow injury. Mariota got his feet wet last week with 111 passing yards and a touchdown, and the team confirmed he is taking over the starting role heading into Week 3.

Washington enters as home underdogs against an undefeated Seahawks squad, which could force trailing pass attempts. Our models project Mariota for around 13.7 fantasy points, bolstered by 30 rushing yards on six carries alongside 188 passing yards. His mobility provides a decent baseline, making him a viable deep-league play, though he belongs on benches in standard formats.
