Schultz caught one of four targets for eight yards in Thursday's 23-16 win over Buffalo in Week 12.
Schultz, who battled through a shoulder injury on a short week, had his fewest targets since Week 8. Houston's offense got off to another slow start behind quarterback Davis Mills, and it greatly benefited from the defense, which forced three turnovers and created two short-field opportunities. Those factors kept a lid on the air attack. Despite the low output, Schultz remains a key component of the team's passing game and ranks second on the club with 72 targets and 497 receiving yards.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Schultz is on fire heading into Week 12 against Buffalo with at least 11.1 PPR points in five of his past six games, including three in a row. He has at least eight targets in four games over that span, and he's done well in two games with Davis Mills at quarterback with a combined 29.4 PPR points against the Jaguars and Titans in the past two weeks. But this week, Schultz is facing the tight end erasers in Buffalo. The Bills are No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, and Jeremy Ruckert in Week 2 is the lone tight end to score a touchdown against Buffalo. Travis Kelce in Week 9 had 10.6 PPR points against the Bills, which is the season high against them, including matchups with Mark Andrews, Juwan Johnson, Hunter Henry, Kyle Pitts and Cade Otton. As good as Schultz has been of late, I would only start him in deeper leagues in Week 12.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Turns in full practice
Rotowire
Schultz (shoulder) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.
Schultz has been managing a shoulder issue for the last few weeks but has yet to miss a game, and his ability to put in a full practice Tuesday clears the way for him to play Thursday against the Bills. The veteran tight end has seen his involvement in the Houston passing attack tick up since the team's Week 6 bye, and over the last five games, Schultz has turned in a 30-303-1 receiving line on 41 targets, with the switch at QB from C.J. Stroud (concussion) to Davis Mills not impacting his target volume or production.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Week 12 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Schultz has a tough matchup in Week 12 against Buffalo, but he has scored at least 11 PPR points in five of his past six games, including three in a row. And he has at least eight targets in three games in a row. After facing the Bills, who are No. 1 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends, Schultz gets an easier matchup with the Colts in Week 13 and the Cardinals in Week 14, which is favorable. He's worth adding for at least 10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Still dealing with shoulder issue
Rotowire
Schultz (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report.
Schultz has been dealing with a shoulder injury for nearly a month, but he's played in each of the Texans' last four games and made 21 catches on 31 targets for 205 yards and one touchdown. Considering his production hasn't tailed off with Davis Mills and not C.J. Stroud (concussion) under center the last two contests, Schultz remains a viable fantasy option ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Bills.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Productive day in win
Rotowire
Schultz secured six of nine targets for 51 yards in the Texans' 16-13 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Schultz finished second in receptions and targets while slotting in third in receiving yards. The veteran is in the midst of a productive three-game stretch -- which includes two contests with fill-in quarterback Davis Mills -- that's seen him post a 19-181-1 line on 28 targets, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 12 home matchup against the Bills on Thursday night.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Gains clearance after full practice
Rotowire
Schultz (shoulder/illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans after practicing without limitations Friday.
Schultz didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but will be available Sunday after Friday's full session. He followed the same practice regimen Week 9 and performed well against the Broncos, catching six of eight passes for 77 yards. Schultz has at least five catches in six of his last seven games.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Back at practice Friday
Rotowire
Schultz (shoulder/illness) returned to practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Schultz, who continues to manage a shoulder injury and also was listed as dealing with an illness when he missed his second consecutive practice Thursday, is expected to play Sunday against the Titans, per Wilson. Friday's final injury report is destined to reveal whether the tight end heads into the weekend with a designation or fully cleared to face Tennessee.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Still not practicing
Rotowire
Schultz (shoulder) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Schultz didn't practice Wednesday, so the tight end's status will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. Back in Week 9, when Schultz was managing knee and shoulder issues, he was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a full session Friday. Though not a lock to occur, a similar scenario unfolding this time around remains plausible.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Starting Tight Ends
Rotowire
Schultz has now scored at least 13.7 PPR points in three of his past four games after he had a big outing against Jacksonville in Week 10 with seven catches for 53 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. He only had five catches for 30 yards on six targets in Week 4 against Tennessee, but I expect him to perform better in the rematch. The Titans have allowed two touchdowns to tight ends in their past four games, and four guys over that span have scored at least 9.1 PPR points. Davis Mills appears in line to start again for the Texans with C.J. Stroud (concussion) hurt, and Mills just helped Schultz have his big game against the Jaguars.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Schultz (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.
Schultz was managing knee and shoulder issues last week, but now he's listed only with a shoulder injury on the Texans' initial Week 11 injury report. So far we haven't heard anything to suggest that the tight end's status for Sunday's game against the Titans is in danger, so it's possible that Schultz's absence from Wednesday's session was maintenance-related. A return to practice Thursday -- in any capacity -- would support that notion.
Schultz has scored at least 11 PPR Fantasy points in four of his last five games and he has at least six targets in six of his last seven games. He may not finish quite as high as we have him ranked this week but he should have a floor of nine or ten PPR Fantasy points with this usage.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Week 11 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Schultz had another big game in Week 10 against Jacksonville with seven catches for 53 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets, and he has now scored at least 13.7 PPR points in three of his past four games. He has 19 targets in his past two outings against the Broncos and Jaguars, and Schultz should be considered a low-end No. 1 Fantasy tight end for the remainder of the season, especially in Week 11 at Tennessee. Schultz is worth adding in all leagues for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Gets into end zone in Week 10
Rotowire
Schultz caught seven of 11 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars.
The veteran tight end saw a season high in targets and topped 50 receiving yards for the fourth time in the last five games, this time with Davis Mills at QB instead of C.J. Stroud (concussion). Schultz capped his day with his first TD of the season, a seven-yard strike from Mills in the fourth quarter as the Texans put together a stunning comeback from a 29-10 deficit. Schultz will take a 45-438-1 line on 59 targets through nine contests into a Week 11 tilt against the Titans.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Schultz comes into Week 10 having scored at least 11 PPR points in three of his past four games, and he had six catches for 77 yards on eight targets against Denver in Week 9. C.J. Stroud (concussion) is out this week against Jacksonville, but Schultz should do fine with Davis Mills against the Jaguars. Schultz had five catches for 39 yards on six targets at Jacksonville in Week 3, and the Jaguars are No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. A tight end has scored at least 10.1 PPR points against Jacksonville in five games in a row, and Schultz will hopefully follow suit in this matchup.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Upgrades to full practice
Rotowire
Schultz (knee/shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Schultz has been listed on Houston injury reports with the knee and shoulder issues for three straight weeks, but he's played in the previous two games and is on track to suit up once again this Sunday versus the Jaguars. The veteran tight end turned in one of his better performances of the season in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos, finishing with six catches for 77 yards on eight targets.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Schultz (knee/shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.
Schultz, who continues to manage knee and shoulder issues, didn't practice either Wednesday or Thursday last week before logging a full practice Friday and playing in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos, a game in which he caught six of his eight targets for a team-high 77 yards. With no reported setbacks in that contest, the tight end's listed limitations Wednesday are presumably maintenance-related.

Texans' Dalton Schultz: Contrarian DFS Play
Rotowire
Did you see what Brock Bowers just did to this defense? No, Schultz isn't Bowers and he won't match his production, but the Rams tight ends combined for 24.1 points against Jacksonville the week before. Schultz had a small slump in the middle of the year which we think was due to injury but he looked great last week turning eight targets into 13.7 PPR points without a touchdown.
