The Houston Texans (1-3) will visit the Baltimore Ravens (1-3) in Week 5. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Dalton Schultz.
Is Dalton Schultz Playing in Week 5?
Schultz is not on the injury report and is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Texans’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Dalton Schultz in Week 5?
Dalton Schultz saw the first two targets of last week’s win over the Titans, and that’s great, but managing to pick up just 16 yards on four targets after that point is why he’s a part of the streamer tier.
For the season, efficiency has been about all he’s offered. Schultz has caught 16-of-21 targets (76.2%), and that has him producing well over expectations.
Christian Kirk is back, and we saw Jayden Higgins find the end zone for the first time in Week 4. The Texans need to make some adjustments if they are going to save this season, but putting more onto their tight end’s plate isn’t likely to be a part of those tweaks.
If you think this game shoots out, be my guest and plug him in, but that’s all he is. For me, this week and the rest of the way, he’s no different than Orande Gadsden or Mason Taylor, two players that I actually think have more single-week spike potential.
