2024 Fantasy Outlook
Schultz forwent the opportunity to be the top tight end on the free-agent market for a second consecutive offseason, instead re-signing with the Texans this March on a three-year, $36 million contract. His first year in Houston was similar statistically to Schultz’s last three campaigns in Dallas; the 6-foot-5, 244-pound tight end caught 59 of 88 targets for 635 yards and five touchdowns in 15 appearances for the Texans, after averaging 66 catches for 667 yards and 5.7 TDs from 2020 to 2022. C.J. Stroud led all qualified quarterbacks in passing yards per game as a rookie, and while Schultz finished second on the team in targets, Stroud’s preference for pushing the ball downfield elevated the Texans’ wide receivers more so than their tight ends and running backs. Nonetheless, Schultz has a long track record of success and a skilled quarterback throwing him the ball, which is a recipe for respectable fantasy production even if he's only the fourth option in Houston's passing game behind WRs Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell.

Season-best 66 yards
Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Schultz earned fewer than five targets for only the second time since Week 3, which came as a surprise given the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee). However, Schultz still managed his highest yardage total of the season, primarily thanks to a 32-yard reception early in the third quarter. Though it was a positive performance, Schultz has still managed to top 35 yards in only two games for the campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2022
2021
2020
2019
2018
Schultz signed a one-year contract with the Texans in free agency after spending his first five NFL seasons in Dallas. After barely seeing the field his first two years, Schultz carved out a substantial role over three subsequent campaigns, drawing at least 89 targets each season while totaling exactly 2,000 yards and 17 touchdowns over that three-year span. He’ll face a downgrade at quarterback, at least short term, with the Texans either starting Davis Mills or second overall pick C.J. Stroud. Cowboys QB Dak Prescott threw 37 TDs in 2021 alone, helping Schultz set career highs with 808 yards and eight touchdowns that year. At no point was Schultz the focal point of the Dallas passing attack, and Houston’s lack of established pass catchers could lead to more targets (but also more defensive attention) for the 6-foot-5 tight end.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Larger target share in Week 4?
Schultz could see more targets from quarterback C.J. Stroud during Sunday's game against the Jaguars due to wide receiver Tank Dell being sidelined due to a chest injury.
ANALYSIS
Schultz saw a season-high five targets during the Texans' Week 3 loss to the Vikings, which he converted into two catches for 11 yards. Schultz's target share this season has dipped due to the arrival of Stefon Diggs and, to a smaller extent, Joe Mixon, but with Dell not playing Sunday, the seven-year tight end should see additional looks from Stroud, especially in the red zone. Across 15 regular-season games with the Texans in 2023, Schultz caught 59 passes on 88 targets for 635 yards and five touchdowns.
