Dalton Schultz vs. Cowboys — Low-End TE1 Appeal in High-Scoring Matchup

Schultz enters Week 4 healthy as Houston's starting tight end against his former team. After erupting for 12 catches and 140 yards in Week 2, his volume dipped to three targets last week, showing the weekly volatility in this passing attack. Still, he commands everyday snaps as the top tight end on the depth chart for an offense searching for its first win.

Rostered in roughly 81% of leagues but started in only 34%, fantasy managers can view Schultz as a viable streaming play. Our weekly projection expects around 10 fantasy points on four catches and 44 receiving yards. In a matchup with shootout potential against Dallas, Schultz carries reliable mid-tier TE1 upside if Houston leans on the pass.
