Injury & Status History
A running log of this player's status changes — each entry links to the original source.
Dalton Schultz — Active
The veteran tight end paced the Texans with his six targets, matching Xavier Hutchinson, as the duo saw one more than Nico Collins on a day when C.J. Stroud targeted nine different pass catchers. Schultz is still looking for his first touchdown of the season and has settled in as a low-ceiling fantasy tight end.
Dalton Schultz — Active
Schultz has lot some playing time to Foster Moreau in recent weeks, but it's still Schultz who gets the nod in most of the clear passing situations. A full practice Friday suggests the tight end won't have any limitations come Sunday.
Dalton Schultz — Active
Dalton Schultz listed Active.
Dalton Schultz — Questionable
Schultz took a step forward Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's practice. He'll have one more opportunity Friday to log a full practice, which could help him avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Giants. Schultz is still searching for his first touchdown of the season.
Dalton Schultz — Questionable
Schultz sat out practice Wednesday due to a quadriceps injury. His participation level Thursday will be revealed later in the day, but it's a good sign that Schultz is set to practice in at least some capacity. He remains locked in atop Houston's depth chart at tight end when healthy. The Texans have made their way back from London and will host the Giants on Sunday.
Dalton Schultz — Questionable
Schultz is making his first appearance of the season on the injury report after he apparently got banged up during this past Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars in London. The Texans haven't yet indicated that Schultz's availability for this weekend's game versus the Giants is in any peril, but he'll need to resume practicing in some fashion over the next two days to assuage fantasy managers' concerns about his health.
Dalton Schultz — Active
Schultz actually led the team with his six targets, but C.J. Stroud spread the ball around to 10 different pass catchers on a day he attempted 34 passes. Schultz has been held to 35 yards or fewer in five of six games this season and has yet to visit the end zone. He's a low-floor, low-ceiling fantasy bet ahead of next Sunday's date with the Giants.
Dalton Schultz — Active
Schultz has now caught three or fewer passes while failing to exceed 30 receiving yards in three straight contests. The tight end has garnered just nine targets since Week 2 after he caught 16 of 22 targets for 175 yards over the first two weeks of the season. Schultz may have a tough time getting back on track against the Jaguars' impressive defense in Week 6.
Dalton Schultz — Active
With Nico Collins back from his hamstring injury after missing two weeks, Schultz's voluminous pass-catching role evaporated against Dallas. For as long as Collins is healthy, Schultz is little more than a touchdown-or-bust fantasy option ahead of next Sunday's date with the Titans.
Dalton Schultz — Active
The veteran tight end recorded a career-high 140 receiving yards on 12 receptions (14 targets) in the Week 2 loss to the Bengals, a game that marked Collins' first absence of the season. The fact the Texans were in catch-up mode and the Bengals defense tends to funnel production to tight ends were both factors in Schultz's atypical numbers, but Collins' second consecutive absence does create the opportunity for another busy afternoon as Houston aims to secure its first win. Additionally, the Colts have been fairly generous to tight ends over the first two games of the season, surrendering a 75.0 percent catch rate and 11.1 yards per reception and tying for the third-most receptions (15) given up to the position among teams that have played two games thus far.
