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.

Finds end zone in Week 13 win
Schultz secured five of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 23-20 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Despite missing time in the second half to be evaluated for a shoulder injury, Schultz was able to record his first touchdown since January's wild-card win over the Browns, finding the end zone on a 22-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. The veteran tight end finished second in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon for the Texans, and his catch total matched a season high as well. Schultz now has a pair of five-reception totals in the last three games heading into a Week 14 bye.

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.
