Dalton Schultz, TE, Houston Texans

Like Johnson, Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been included in our recent “streamers” articles. The veteran tight end has seen a production bump in recent weeks, most notably when playing with backup quarterback Davis Mills.

Of Mills’ 120 pass attempts this season, Schultz has been targeted 26 times, 21.67%. With Stroud, that number drops to 17.36%, as the third-year quarterback spreads the ball more evenly among his receivers.

Schultz has been targeted 28 times in his last three games, and has averaged 14.4 fantasy points per game in that stretch. With Stroud’s return imminent, the Texans’ offense should be more functional, and their overall control of games should improve.

Mills has won both of his starts since Stroud’s injury, but the Texans have had to come from behind to win both. The team faces some tough opponents in the coming weeks, but should find themselves in less desperate situations.

That, in turn, would mean fewer targets for Schultz. There won’t be a huge market for the tight end, but three consecutive top-10 finishes should fetch you some FAAB at the very least.

Sean Tucker, RB, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

This one is pretty obvious, but it’s not always easy to know how to handle a breakout like Sean Tucker’s at the weekend. The Buccaneers’ bruising backup erupted for 140 total yards and three touchdowns against the Bills on Sunday.

With Bucky Irving expected to be nearing a return, there is a chance Tucker continues to be involved, but Irving’s presence would be a massive hit to his workload. Unfortunately, none of this is a secret, and your league mates will be all too aware of Tucker’s situation.

Nevertheless, his massive production will be intriguing to some, and you might be able to secure something for the runner this week. Irving isn’t guaranteed to come back in Week 12, but selling high often means selling early.

Tucker’s upside means you shouldn’t sell at any cost, but if you can secure a flex option or a significant FAAB budget, both could prove more useful down the stretch.

D’Andre Swift, RB, Chicago Bears

I was pretty adamant that D’Andre Swift would return to his starting role after injury, despite Kyle Monangai’s explosive performances when filling in. That proved to be the case, and Swift has tallied 447 rushing yards over his last five games, continuing to establish a massive value on his preseason ADP.

However, he faces a daunting schedule for the rest of the season and has likely lost some goal-line work to Monangai, despite being the team’s RB1. The Bears face the Steelers, the Browns, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Green Bay Packers (twice) in Weeks 12-16, so moving Swift for a similarly ranked back would be a smart move this week.
