  • Held to 22 yards

    Schultz recorded three receptions on four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Schultz maintained a significant role in the Houston offense, finishing third on the team in targets behind Nico Collins and Jayden Higgins. Collins was the only Texans pass catcher to reach at least 35 receiving yards, and Schultz was among those to post a muted stat line. He entered the game having topped 50 receiving yards in six of his last eight games, so he should return to better production in Week 15 against Arizona.

  • Seven catches in win

    Schultz caught seven of eight targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Colts.

    Analysis: Schultz was able to secure at least six passes for the fourth time in five games, rebounding nicely after his one-catch performance in Week 12. The tight end didn't skip a beat with the return of C.J. Stroud either, calming the nerves of fantasy managers. Schultz has now corralled 59 of 80 targets for 552 yards and a touchdown over 12 contests this season.

  • Quiet night in win

    Schultz caught one of four targets for eight yards in Thursday's 23-16 win over Buffalo in Week 12.

    Analysis: Schultz, who battled through a shoulder injury on a short week, had his fewest targets since Week 8. Houston's offense got off to another slow start behind quarterback Davis Mills, and it greatly benefited from the defense, which forced three turnovers and created two short-field opportunities. Those factors kept a lid on the air attack. Despite the low output, Schultz remains a key component of the team's passing game and ranks second on the club with 72 targets and 497 receiving yards.

  • Turns in full practice

    Schultz (shoulder) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Analysis: Schultz has been managing a shoulder issue for the last few weeks but has yet to miss a game, and his ability to put in a full practice Tuesday clears the way for him to play Thursday against the Bills. The veteran tight end has seen his involvement in the Houston passing attack tick up since the team's Week 6 bye, and over the last five games, Schultz has turned in a 30-303-1 receiving line on 41 targets, with the switch at QB from C.J. Stroud (concussion) to Davis Mills not impacting his…read more

  • Still dealing with shoulder issue

    Schultz (shoulder) was listed as limited on Monday's estimated injury report.

    Analysis: Schultz has been dealing with a shoulder injury for nearly a month, but he's played in each of the Texans' last four games and made 21 catches on 31 targets for 205 yards and one touchdown. Considering his production hasn't tailed off with Davis Mills and not C.J. Stroud (concussion) under center the last two contests, Schultz remains a viable fantasy option ahead of Thursday's matchup with the Bills.

  • Productive day in win

    Schultz secured six of nine targets for 51 yards in the Texans' 16-13 win over the Titans on Sunday.

    Analysis: Schultz finished second in receptions and targets while slotting in third in receiving yards. The veteran is in the midst of a productive three-game stretch -- which includes two contests with fill-in quarterback Davis Mills -- that's seen him post a 19-181-1 line on 28 targets, affording him plenty of momentum heading into a Week 12 home matchup against the Bills on Thursday night.

  • Gains clearance after full practice

    Schultz (shoulder/illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Titans after practicing without limitations Friday.

    Analysis: Schultz didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but will be available Sunday after Friday's full session. He followed the same practice regimen Week 9 and performed well against the Broncos, catching six of eight passes for 77 yards. Schultz has at least five catches in six of his last seven games.

    Schultz (shoulder/illness) returned to practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Schultz, who continues to manage a shoulder injury and also was listed as dealing with an illness when he missed his second consecutive practice Thursday, is expected to play Sunday against the Titans, per Wilson. Friday's final injury report is destined to reveal whether the tight end heads into the weekend with a designation or fully cleared to face Tennessee.

  • Still not practicing

    Schultz (shoulder) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Schultz didn't practice Wednesday, so the tight end's status will need to be monitored ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans. Back in Week 9, when Schultz was managing knee and shoulder issues, he was held out of practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a full session Friday. Though not a lock to occur, a similar scenario unfolding this time around remains plausible.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Schultz (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Schultz was managing knee and shoulder issues last week, but now he's listed only with a shoulder injury on the Texans' initial Week 11 injury report. So far we haven't heard anything to suggest that the tight end's status for Sunday's game against the Titans is in danger, so it's possible that Schultz's absence from Wednesday's session was maintenance-related. A return to practice Thursday -- in any capacity -- would support that notion.

  • Gets into end zone in Week 10

    Schultz caught seven of 11 targets for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 36-29 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end saw a season high in targets and topped 50 receiving yards for the fourth time in the last five games, this time with Davis Mills at QB instead of C.J. Stroud (concussion). Schultz capped his day with his first TD of the season, a seven-yard strike from Mills in the fourth quarter as the Texans put together a stunning comeback from a 29-10 deficit. Schultz will take a 45-438-1 line on 59 targets through nine contests into a Week 11 tilt against the Titans.

  • Upgrades to full practice

    Schultz (knee/shoulder) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Schultz has been listed on Houston injury reports with the knee and shoulder issues for three straight weeks, but he's played in the previous two games and is on track to suit up once again this Sunday versus the Jaguars. The veteran tight end turned in one of his better performances of the season in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos, finishing with six catches for 77 yards on eight targets.

  • Logs limited practice Wednesday

    Schultz (knee/shoulder) was limited at practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Schultz, who continues to manage knee and shoulder issues, didn't practice either Wednesday or Thursday last week before logging a full practice Friday and playing in the Texans' Week 9 loss to the Broncos, a game in which he caught six of his eight targets for a team-high 77 yards. With no reported setbacks in that contest, the tight end's listed limitations Wednesday are presumably maintenance-related.

  • Leads Houston in receiving yards

    Schultz caught six of eight targets for a team-high 77 yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end did most of his damage on a 47-yard reception from C.J. Stroud (concussion) in the first quarter to set up Houston's first of five field goals on the afternoon. Schultz wound up second on the team in receptions behind Nico Collins' seven, but the ceiling for the entire Texans passing attack was downgraded when Davis Mills replaced Stroud early in the second quarter. If Mills gets the start in Week 10 against the Jaguars, Schultz should still be a reliable possession option…read more

    Schultz (knee/shoulder) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: After not practicing either Wednesday or Thursday, Schultz logged a full practice Friday, which set the stage for him to be available versus Denver. Through seven games thus far, the tight end leads the Texans in catches (32) and is second in targets (40) and receiving yards (308), a production level that keeps him on the fantasy lineup radar in Week 9.

If he does play against Denver, Schultz will be joined in the Texans' lineup by WRs Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), who are both slated to return to action this weekend.

  • Managing knee and shoulder issues

    Schultz didn't practice Wednesday due to knee and shoulder injuries, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Per Warren, Schultz didn't appear to be hurt at any point in the Texans' Week 8 win over the 49ers and played until the game's final snap. Meanwhile, coach DeMeco Ryans noted Wednesday that the team is expecting the tight end "back as the week goes on...he's doing well, progressing just fine.'' Assuming Schultz is available Sunday against the Broncos, he could be working alongside wideouts Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring), who both returned to limited practices Wednesday.

    Schultz (undisclosed) isn't practicing Wednesday but is expected to return later this week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: He was listed with back and shoulder injuries last week but was cleared to play Friday on the final injury report. Schultz then played into the fourth quarter of a 26-15 win over the 49ers, though he appeared to be in pain and briefly left the game at one point. He still managed a 77 percent route share, tied for second on the team, while catching two of three targets for 24 yards. It sounds like Schultz is banged up but still expected to play this Sunday against the Broncos.

  • Limited to three catches in win

    Schultz brought in two of three targets for 24 yards in the Texans' 26-15 win over the 49ers on Sunday.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end was coming off a season-best 9-98-0 receiving line on 10 targets versus the Seahawks on Monday night, but even with top two receivers Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) both sidelined, he was unable to build upon that production. Schultz downturn was surprising in that context, as he finished with season lows in receptions, receiving yards and targets.

    Analysis: With wideouts Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) both ruled out for the contest, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 suggests that the Texans figure to lean heavily on Schultz on Sunday, along with rookie wide receivers Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins, in addition to Xavier Hutchinson. While recording a 75 percent snap share in this past Monday's 27-19 loss to the Seahawks, Schultz racked up nine catches on 10 targets for a team-high 98 yards.

    Analysis: Schultz was also limited at practice Wednesday, so he may need to practice fully Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the 49ers. With wideouts Nico Collins (concussion) and Christian Kirk (hamstring) having logged DNPs both Wednesday and Thursday, Schultz, assuming he's available, could be in store for a high-volume Week 8 if the Texans remain shorthanded at WR.

    Analysis: Schultz was C.J. Stroud's favorite target in the first half, recording four receptions on four targets for 53 yards. Schultz played a key role on multiple scoring drives for Houston, recording 11- and 12-yard receptions to keep a pair of possessions alive on third down before logging a 21-yard catch to set up a touchdown just before halftime. This was Schultz's highest yardage total of the season, and he has five receptions in three consecutive contests.

    Schultz caught five of six targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 17-10 loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Schultz had season highs in both targets and receiving yards, as the Texans made a concerted effort to get the passing game going. C.J. Stroud's 40 dropbacks (38 attempts, two sacks) were the most in three games, but he threw for only 204 yards (5.4 YPA). The passing volume meant opportunities for Schultz existed even with the season debut of No. 2 wideout Christian Kirk (eight targets).

  • Gains 29 yards on MNF

    Schultz had three receptions (on four targets) for 29 yards in Monday's 20-19 loss to Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Schultz turned in another mild fantasy score despite finishing second in targets for the Texans. The veteran starter provides predictability for those in deeper formats, but his lack of upside and scoring potential (two touchdowns over 17 starts in 2024) keep him from flourishing in fantasy circles. Schultz remains a low-end option heading into a Week 3 matchup against the Jaguars on Sunday.

    Schultz brought in three of five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Schultz led the Texans in targets on a low-volume passing day, but the end result was still lackluster from a fantasy perspective. The good news for the veteran tight end is that he remained the No. 1 tight end option for QB C.J. Stroud despite posting mediocre numbers in 2024. Schultz should be considered a low-ceiling fantasy option heading into next Monday's tilt against Tampa Bay.

    The Texans restructured Schultz's contract Tuesday to convert the $11.5 million he was slated to make into a signing bonus, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: The move to restructure Schultz's 2025 pay from base salary into a signing bonus lowers the Texans' salary cap for this season, and the veteran tight end is still slated to make the $11 million he's owed in 2026. Schultz played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 53 catches on 85 targets for 532 yards and two touchdowns, all of which were his lowest totals since his 2019 campaign with the Cowboys.

Stroud (pectoral), Schultz is competing for targets in a crowded pass-catching corps led by Nico Collins.

    Schultz caught all four of his targets for 63 yards in Saturday's 23-14 divisional-round loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end was on the other end of C.J. Stroud's longest completion of the day, a 34-yard connection on the Texans' first possession that helped set up a field goal. Schultz suited up for every game in 2024, the first time he'd accomplished that since he was a Cowboy in 2021, but even with the Texans dealing with a number of injuries to their wide receiver room, he didn't see an increase in his production of target volume.

  • Limited with shoulder issue

    Schultz (shoulder) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end has been relatively healthy this season, and it's the first time he's been listed as limited on a practice report since September. Schultz played 73 percent of the offensive snaps in last Saturday's wild-card win over the Chargers, securing two of his four targets for 23 yards. Rookie TE Cade Stover (undisclosed), was placed on injured reserve earlier Tuesday, which could lead to a little more volume for Schultz in the divisional round against Kansas City.

    Schultz recorded two receptions on four targets or 23 yards in Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Nico Collins and John Metchie accounted for half of the targets from C.J. Stroud, leaving limited volume for the rest of Houston's pass catchers. Even taking that into account, Schultz's performance was disappointing, particularly considering that Cade Stover matched his four targets and outgained him.

His longest catch went for 13 yards on Houston's first possession, and he concludes the season with 532 yards -- his lowest yardage total since 2019.

    Analysis: Schultz was coming off his best fantasy performance of the season in Week 16 (5-45-1 receiving line on eight targets), but he followed the big outing up with a Christmas Day dud. The veteran tight end has experienced a downward trend in production in his second season with Houston, carrying a mediocre 50-503-2 receiving line while starting all 16 of the Texans' games in 2024. Schultz will look to finish the regular season on a high note when the Texans visit the Titans next weekend.

    Analysis: Schultz was a bit player in the air attack, although with C.J. Stroud throwing for only 131 yards on the afternoon, the veteran tight end was hardly the only Texan with modest numbers. Schultz came into game with a pair of five-catch tallies in the previous three games, but he remains a complementary option even in games when Stroud has a lot more success through the air.

  • Two catches in loss

    Schultz caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 32-27 loss to Tennessee in Week 12.

    Analysis: Schultz garnered fewer targets than backup Cade Stover (four), who also caught a touchdown pass. Schultz has been a weekly contributor -- through 12 games, he's caught 36 passes on 57 targets for 363 yards -- and he's been on the field for an 82 percent share of snaps, but he's still looking for his first TD of 2024.

  • Team-high catch total in win

    Schultz secured five of seven targets for 33 yards in the Texans' 34-10 win over the Cowboys on Monday night.

    Analysis: Facing his old team for the first time, Schultz recorded a team-high catch total that also served as a season-best figure. Schultz had 52- and 66-yard outings over the prior three games coming into Monday night, but with Nico Collins back on the field following a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury, the veteran tight end was used close to the line of scrimmage. Schultz's fantasy upside should remain modest in a Week 12 home divisional matchup against the Titans.

  • 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.

  • Could see increased targets

    Schultz could see a higher-than-usual number of targets in Sunday night's game against the Lions with Houston's top two wideouts questionable for Week 10.

    Analysis: Schultz had been a forgotten component in the passing offense to start the season, but injuries have hit the wideout group since Week 1. Stefon Diggs (knee) is done for the season, Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) was designated to return from IR but logged one limited practice Friday and is questionable, and Tank Dell (back) popped up on Friday's injury report and is questionable. Schultz is averaging five targets per game for the season and has seen at least six throws come his way in four of the…read more

  • Modest output in Week 9 loss

    Schultz secured three of six targets for 21 yards in the Texans' 21-13 loss to the Jets on Thursday night.

    Analysis: Despite the absence of both Stefon Diggs (IR, knee) and Nico Collins (IR, hamstring), Schultz continued to operate in a modest role that left him with eighth sub-35-yard tally of the season. The veteran tight end has topped out at four receptions as far as a single-game high during the 2024 campaign, and with Collins expected to return for a Week 10 home clash against the Lions on Sunday, Nov. 10, Schultz is likely to remain in a largely fantasy-irrelevant role.

  • Sees uptick in production Sunday

    Schultz secured four of six targets for 52 yards in the Texans' 23-20 win over the Colts on Sunday.

    Analysis: Schultz tied for second on the team in receptions and targets while also serving as the runner-up in receiving yards. The veteran tight end's receiving yardage total was a season high as well, and he's now recorded a trio of four-catch tallies in his last four games. Schultz should continue seeing a slightly elevated role in a Week 9 road matchup against the Jets on Thursday night, especially if Stefon Diggs (knee) joins Nico Collins (IR-hamstring) in street clothes.

  • One catch in Week 7 loss

    Schultz caught one of two targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.

    Analysis: Schultz's 28-yard catch in the first quarter was enough for him to finish as Houston's leading receiver, as C.J. Stroud threw for only 86 yards in arguably the worst performance of the second-year quarterback's career. Wide receiver Nico Collins (hamstring) will miss a third consecutive game in Week 8 against the Colts, so Schultz is poised to see decent target volume if Stroud gets back on track, as Schultz had 14 targets over Houston's previous two games coming into Sunday's loss.

  • Eight targets in win

    Schultz caught four of eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots.

    Analysis: Schultz was given a season-high eight targets -- second most on the team -- as the Houston offense was without Nico Collins (hamstring), who is on injured reserve for at least another three games. Expect Schultz to get more looks while Collins remains sidelined, which could eventually translate into touchdowns. The tight end has yet to score in 2024.

    Schultz caught four of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills in Week 5.

    Analysis: For the second straight week, Schultz received a bump in targets with one of Houston's top three wideouts injured. After Nico Collins (hamstring) was removed from the game and Buffalo's defense made life difficult for quarterback C.J. Stroud in the second half, Schultz became a security blanket for the second-year quarterback. All six of the tight end's targets came during the third and fourth quarters, with four of them coming on third downs. Schultz received five looks last week when Tank…read more

    Schultz caught three of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Schultz again dealt with an ankle injury during the practice week, but it hasn't prevented him from seeing significant action. In Week 3, he logged 96 percent of the offensive snaps, and the veteran tight end was on the field for 87 percent of plays Sunday. Schultz moved up to third on the target list with Tank Dell (chest) inactive for the game.

Expect the tight end to once again take on ample playing time after he logged 96 percent of Houston's snaps on offense in the Week 3 loss to Minnesota.

    Analysis: Schultz continues to manage an ankle issue, but the injury didn't stop him from logging a 96 percent snap share in the Texans' Week 3 loss to the Vikings. Given that the Texans haven't indicated that Schultz suffered a setback coming out of Sunday's contest, chances are that his listed limitations Wednesday were simply a matter of rep management.

    Schultz caught two of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Schultz, who had been hobbled by an ankle injury during the practice week, was on the field for 96 percent of the offensive snaps. A season-ending injury to Brevin Jordan (knee) cleared out the only real threat to Schultz's volume, and his five targets Sunday were a season high.

Through the first two weeks of the season, Schultz has produced a 5-37-0 receiving line on six targets while playing at least 70 percent of the offensive snaps in both contests.

  • Limited in practice Wednesday

    Schultz (ankle) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.

    Analysis: Schultz missed consecutive practices last week before logging a full session Friday to avoid taking an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Bears. In Houston's 19-13 win over Chicago, Schultz caught two of his three targets for 21 yards while logging a 71 percent snap share. With no reported setbacks in that contest, Schultz's listed limitations Wednesday may have simply been a case of load management ahead of this Sunday's game against the Vikings.

  • Logs two catches in win

    Schultz caught two of three targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over Chicago in Week 2.

    Analysis: Schultz dealt with a minor ankle injury that forced him to miss two practices this week, but he was ready to go Sunday. The tight end has five catches on six targets for 37 yards through two games. Schultz had five more targets after two weeks in 2023, which suggests the addition of wide receiver Stefon Diggs is cutting into his opportunities.

  • Good to go against Bears

    Schultz (ankle) was a full participant in practice Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears.

    Analysis: Schultz sat out a pair of practices Wednesday and Thursday, but it looks like those absences were mostly for maintenance, as he will again be able to play through the ankle injury he suffered early in the 29-22 Week 1 win over the Colts. He stayed in that game after initially sustaining the injury. Schultz's fantasy managers can deploy him as usual when the Texans host the Bears for Sunday Night Football.

  • Three targets in Week 1

    Schultz caught all three of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts in Week 1.

    Analysis: As expected, Schultz was the snap and target leader at tight end, ahead of Brevin Jordan. Even so, Schultz may be hard pressed to repeat the 88 targets he had in 2023. The target distribution Sunday heavily skewed toward Houston's wideouts, who were targeted 22 times compared to five for the tight ends.

  • Makes preseason debut

    Schultz did not catch his lone target in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over Pittsburgh.

    Analysis: Schultz made his preseason debut and played 11 snaps in the first quarter. The Texans quickly extended him for three years during the offseason, after Schultz developed chemistry with then-rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. He'll be an important component to the team's passing attack, but Houston added a high-profile target in Stefon Diggs, which could cut into Schultz's opportunities.

  • Signs three-year extension

    The Texans and Schultz agreed to terms on a three-year, $36 million contract extension on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Schultz will stick around with C.J. Stroud for the foreseeable future on a new deal that includes $23.5 million in guarantees, per Rapoport. Had he not been re-signed Schultz would've arguably been the top tight end of this free agency cycle, and keeping the pass-catching corps that Stroud found success with as a rookie intact makes complete sense for Houston. Across 15 regular-season games in 2023, Schultz secured 59 of 88 targets for 635 yards and five scores.

    Analysis: Schultz finished second on the team in targets and delivered a few big plays, most notably a 21-yard catch late in the first quarter to set up a field goal. Earlier in the same drive, he dropped a pass -- his second in as many games this postseason. Despite some inconsistency on a game-to-game basis, Schultz remains a steady contributor overall, as he has topped 55 receptions in four consecutive seasons while reaching 600 receiving yards in three of those four campaigns.

    Schultz recorded one catch on two targets for 37 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 45-14 win over the Browns.

    Analysis: Schultz had a limited role in the offense, as he matched his lowest target total in any game of the regular season. He had a drop early in the first quarter but redeemed himself with a long 37-yard touchdown reception just before halftime. The Texans held a three-score lead for much of the final two quarters, limiting passing volume for the entire team. He should have a chance to be more involved in Houston's divisional-round matchup.

    Analysis: Schultz had the second-most targets behind Nico Collins (nine) on a day when the Texans operated without three injured wideouts. The tight end has been important all season and could continue as a prominent target in the postseason. However, Schultz will have more competition for quarterback C.J. Stroud's attention if Noah Brown (back) and/or Robert Woods (hip) are available next week.

Nico Collins unsurprisingly led the team with eight targets, though Schultz's lack of involvement was concerning in light of the absences of both Robert Woods (hip) and Noah Brown (hip) for significant portions of the game.

  • Leading receiver in Week 16 loss

    Schultz caught eight of 11 targets for 61 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Much of the tight end's production came late after the Texans had fallen behind 36-7 and quarterback Davis Mills put together a couple of garbage-time scoring drives against Cleveland's backup defenders. Schultz wound up leading Houston in catches, receiving yards and targets, but he could be even more productive in Week 17 against the Titans if C.J. Stroud is able to clear the league's concussion protocol in time to suit up.

However, he came alive in the final two quarters to finish second on the team in both targets and yards. He tallied long receptions of 19, 16 and 15 yards, the last of which helped set the Texans up for a game-tying touchdown.

    Analysis: Any form of participation is a positive sign after the tight end missed all three of the Texans' practice last week before being ruled out for an eventual win over the Broncos.

    Schultz caught one of two targets for two yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to Jacksonville in Week 12.

    Analysis: The two targets were a season low for Schultz, who entered the contest with nearly six targets per game. Still, his five touchdowns over the last eight games, coupled with a productive passing offense led by rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, make Schultz an attractive option each week. Further to that point, the tight end is tied for the team lead in red-zone targets (10) along with Nico Collins and Tank Dell.

    Schultz secured two of three targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 21-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

    Analysis: Schultz played second fiddle to the Texans' top wideout trio, but he still found his way to a serviceable fantasy day with a 20-yard touchdown grab to answer an early Cardinals touchdown in the first quarter. Schultz has multiple receptions in all but one game this season, and although he saw a big downturn in yardage after amassing 201 on 14 receptions over the last two weeks, he remains a trusted target for C.J. Stroud heading into a Week 12 home showdown against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Schultz opened the week as a limited practice participant, but after he took every rep Thursday, the hamstring issue doesn't look as though it'll be anything that prevents him from playing Sunday against the Cardinals. The tight end began his tenure with the Texans in rather humble fashion through the first four weeks of the season, but he's since emerged as a viable fantasy starter -- even in shallower leagues.

    Schultz recorded four receptions on six targets for 71 yards during Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Bengals.

    Analysis: Schultz followed up his season-high performance last week (10-130-1) with another solid outing. After a slow start to the year, the veteran tight end has found his groove with rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. Over the last six games, Schultz has recorded 30 receptions on 42 targets for 374 yards and four touchdowns.

  • Massive output in Week 9 win

    Schultz brought in 10 of 11 targets for 130 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 39-37 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Schultz's career-best day saw him lead the Texans in receptions and tie with Tank Dell for the team lead in targets. The veteran tight end also recorded his fourth touchdown of the campaign on a nine-yard grab early in the fourth quarter, his fourth trip to the end zone in the last five games. Schultz has developed quick chemistry with C.J. Stroud, and despite the amount of weapons available to the rookie signal-caller, Schultz should continue playing a key role in a Week 10 road matchup…read more

  • TD streak ends

    Schultz caught two of five targets for five yards in Sunday's 15-13 loss to Carolina.

    Analysis: Schultz entered the contest with touchdowns in three consecutive games but couldn't keep the streak going. Houston had only two red-zone trips on the day, but Schultz was not targeted in either one. The tight end averages nearly six targets per game and is tied with Robert Woods (foot) with six red-zone targets to lead the team.

  • Scores TD in third straight

    Schultz caught four of seven targets for 61 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Schultz extended his touchdown streak to three games by catching a one-yard score in the first quarter. He also led the Texans in targets while finishing second in receiving yards behind Nico Collins (80), whom Schultz tied for the team lead in catches. After a slow start to the season, the tight end has found chemistry with rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud, and Schultz will look to pick up where he left off in Week 8 against the Panthers following a Week 7 bye.

  • Another touchdown in Week 5 loss

    Schultz brought in seven of 10 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Texans' 21-19 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.

    Analysis: Schultz led the Texans across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets for the afternoon with figures that ranked as his best of the season. The veteran tight end also found the end zone for the second straight contest when he recorded an 18-yard touchdown grab with 1:49 remaining that momentarily put Houston ahead. Schultz will look to extend his scoring streak to three games in a Week 6 home clash with the Saints.

  • Finds end zone in win

    Schultz caught all three of his targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: He wasn't busy, but the former Cowboy made an impact on a trick play by catching a six-yard TD from running back Devin Singletary in the fourth quarter to help put the game away. It's Schultz's first score as a Texan, but with rookie QB C.J. Stroud looking mature beyond his years, the tight end hasn't been needed as much as expected as a security blanket and has seen four targets or less in three of four games so far.

  • Three targets in win

    Schultz caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Schultz once again paced the Texans' tight end group in snap count (38, 68 percent share), but it was Brevin Jordan who scored a touchdown Sunday. Houston is still searching for an effective rushing attack, averaging just 3.1 yards per carry through three weeks, so Schultz (82.9 percent season share) and Teagan Quitoriano (40.6 percent) will continue to get the bulk of the snaps at TE due to their blocking skills.

  • Seven targets in loss

    Schultz caught four of seven targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 31-20 loss to Indianapolis in Week 2.

    Analysis: Schultz remained the leading tight end for a second consecutive game, leading the group with 60 snaps. He has 11 targets, six catches and 38 yards through two weeks. Schultz had company as a targeted tight end Sunday; Brevin Jordan, who played special teams only last week, was used on offense for the first time (15 snaps). Jordan caught both of his targets for 27 yards.

  • Upgraded to full Thursday

    Schultz (thigh) was upgraded to a full participant in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Following a limited session Wednesday, Schultz appears ready to roll for Sunday's Week 2 date with the Colts. The veteran tight end played 81 percent of the offensive snaps last week against the Ravens but turned four targets into just two catches for four yards. His playing time keeps him in the fantasy mix at a shallow position.

  • Opens week with limited practice

    Schultz was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a thigh injury.

    Analysis: After a disappointing Texans debut this past Sunday against the Ravens in which he picked up only four receiving yards, Schultz's Week 2 availability could be in question. The fact that he at least practiced in some capacity is an encouraging sign, but the tight end's status will be worth monitoring nonetheless before the Texans take on the Colts on Sunday.

  • Leads TEs in snaps

    Schultz caught two of four targets for four yards in Sunday's 25-9 loss to Baltimore in Week 1.

    Analysis: Schultz had a quiet day, but he led Houston's tight ends in offensive snaps (62) by a wide margin and was targeted once in the red zone. Backup Teagan Quitoriano saw only 22 snaps on offense while Brevin Jordan played only on special teams. Quarterback C.J. Stroud heavily favored his wideouts in terms of targets, but Schultz is the top tight end on the team.

    Schultz caught two of three targets for 10 yards in Saturday's 28-3 preseason loss to the Dolphins.

    Analysis: Schultz appears to be over any issue with his ribs after playing in Houston's first two preseason contests. All three targets were from projected starting quarterback C.J. Stroud, including a fourth-down incompletion in the red zone. Stroud showed progress from his performance in preseason Week 1, including a quick adjustment under pressure for a six-yard completion to Schultz on Houston's lone scoring drive.

  • Makes exhibition appearance

    Schultz (ribs) had two receptions on three targets for 10 yards in Saturday's preseason loss to Miami.

    Analysis: Fantasy managers will be relieved to see Schultz get into an exhibition contest after dealing with a rib injury out of camp. The 27-year-old signed a one-year deal to move across the state and start for the Texans after four seasons with the Cowboys. With little competition for targets at tight end in Houston, Schultz could see his usage and fantasy value rise from the already solid levels they boasted during his time in Dallas.

    Analysis: Schultz has been out since Sunday when a rib injury forced him from practice early. Coach DeMeco Ryans didn't make any predictions for a return date but said Monday that he doesn't expect the absence to last long. With fellow tight ends Brevin Jordan (hamstring) and Teagan Quitoriano (undisclosed) also not practicing, the Texans are mostly left with blockers at the position, including veteran journeymen Eric Tomlinson and Nick Vannett.

  • Dealing with ribs issue

    Schultz (ribs) exited Sunday's practice early, but coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that the tight end will "be back out there soon."

    Analysis: Schultz was banged up after taking a shot to the side from fellow free-agent pickup Jimmie Ward in practice. It sounds like the tight end is day-to-day, and it's not a long-term concern. Schultz is expected to compete for the team lead in targets after coming over from the Cowboys in the offseason.

  • Lands with Texans

    Schultz agreed to a contract with the Texans on Monday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Per Pelissero, Schultz is expected to sign a one-year deal with Houston worth up to $9 million. In 15 games with the Cowboys last season, Schultz logged a 57-577-5 receiving line on 89 targets. With the Texans, Schultz will take over as the team's top pass-catching tight end, a context that should provide the 26-year-old with enough volume in 2023 to continue to maintain fantasy relevance in his new locale.

  • Hits pay dirt in playoff loss

    Schultz had five receptions (10 targets) for 27 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 19-12 divisional-round loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: Schultz wasn't particularly efficient with his 10 targets, but he was able to convert Dallas' lone touchdown in a low-scoring affair. The 25-year-old saw his numbers take a hit after a breakout fantasy campaign in 2021, finishing with a 57-577-5 receiving line this regular season after posting 78-808-8 last year. Schultz did get hot in the playoffs, scoring three touchdowns in just two contests. Dallas used its franchise tag on Schultz last offseason, but that scenario is unlikely to repeat,…read more

  • Scores twice in wild-card win

    Schultz secured seven of eight targets for 95 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' 31-14 wild-card win over the Buccaneers on Monday night.

    Analysis: The veteran tight end was the Cowboys leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets while also finding the end zone from 22 and 11 yards out in first and second quarters. Schultz was a consistent target down the stretch for Dak Prescott with at least four catches in seven of his last 11 regular-season games, and given Monday night's numbers, he could play a prominent role once again in Sunday's divisional-round road matchup against the tough 49ers defense.

    Analysis: It was a brutal day for the entire Cowboys offense, but Schultz still was able to scratch out some PPR value and catch multiple passes for the 11th straight game. Heading into a wild-card round clash with the Buccaneers, the tight end will look to match or exceed his production from the teams' Week 1 meeting, when Schultz turned nine targets into seven catches for 62 yards.

    Analysis: The talented tight end took advantage of a defense that was already highly vulnerable to his position at full strength, and even more so with multiple starters sitting out Thursday. Schultz scored from six and 10 yards out in the third and fourth quarters, respectively, to record his second multi-touchdown tally of the campaign.

  • Three grabs against Eagles

    Schultz caught three of four targets for 43 yards in Saturday's win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: The tight end extended his streak of games with multiple catches to nine, although Schultz's four targets tied for his low-water mark during that stretch. Early season injuries have kept him from repeating last year's breakout, but Schultz is still only four catches away from 50 and 12 yards away from 500 heading into a Week 17 clash with the Titans.

    Schultz caught two of four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Jaguars.

    Analysis: He didn't see many looks from Dak Prescott, although the Dallas tight end group still made an impact on a Peyton Hendershot TD in the second quarter. Schultz remains atop the depth chart, but the increased involvement of rookies Hendershot and Jake Ferguson (concussion) as the season has progressed has put a bit of a cap on the veteran's fantasy upside. Even so, Schultz has caught multiple passes in eight straight games, posting a 34-365-3 line on 49 targets over that stretch.

He turned in a number of big plays, highlighted by 22, 21 and 18 yards to post his best yardage total of the campaign.

    Analysis: The Cowboys ended up winning, 54-19, thanks to a huge fourth quarter fueled by the defense, but Schultz wasn't able to carve out much of a share of the production, as he had unexpected trouble getting in sync with Dak Prescott. The tight end still extended his streak of games with multiple catches to six games, a stretch in which he's compiled a 26-263-3 line on 35 targets.

  • Thankful for two-TD game

    Schultz caught all four of his targets for 31 yards and two touchdowns in Thursday's 28-20 win over the Giants.

    Analysis: Both TDs came in the second half as the Cowboys came roaring back from a 13-7 halftime deficit. Schultz has three touchdowns on the season, both of which have come in the last three games, and after battling injuries in the first half of the year he appears to be back in peak form ahead of a Week 13 tilt against the Colts.

    Analysis: The Cowboys didn't need to air it out much Sunday, but Schultz still saw at least five targets for the fourth straight game even though the volume didn't result in any meaningful production. The tight end has a 20-199-1 line over that four-game stretch, a pace that gives him a solid fantasy floor heading into a Thanksgiving clash with the Giants.

    Schultz had six receptions (eight targets) for 54 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-28 overtime loss to Green Bay.

    Analysis: Schultz picked up where he left off before the bye week with another strong fantasy performance. The 26-year-old is averaging 5.7 receptions and 59.0 yards over his last three contests. More importantly, he served as the lead tight end for third straight week after having limited availability early in the season due to a nagging knee injury. Schultz's stock is on the rise heading into a Week 11 matchup against the Vikings next Sunday.

  • Leads team in receptions

    Schultz recorded six receptions on seven targets for 74 yards in Sunday's 49-29 win over the Bears.

    Analysis: Schultz had among his best performances of the season, potentially a sign that his nagging knee injury is improving. He led the team with six receptions and did a lot of his damage on a drive midway through the third quarter, when he managed 30- and 14-yard catches on consecutive plays to help set up a touchdown run for Tony Pollard. Schultz's performance has suffered early on in the season due to the knee issue, but he now has 11 receptions for 123 yards combined across his last two games.

The tight end was limited at each practice during Week 8 prep, but barring any setbacks, he's in line to suit up for a second consecutive contest.

    Schultz officially aggravated his PCL sprain Week 5 at the Rams, but he sustained no new damage in his right knee and should be able to play Sunday night in Philadelphia as long as he gets through Week 6 prep unscathed, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Schultz initially suffered the injury Week 2 and logged a DNP in Week 3. He'll almost certainly operate under practice limitations when the Cowboys take the field Wednesday, but his status will be one to monitor as the week goes on to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday.

    Schultz (knee) failed to catch any of his three targets in Sunday's 25-10 win over the Commanders.

    Analysis: After missing Week 3 due to a sprained PCL in his right knee, Schultz returned to his role as the Cowboys' No. 1 tight end. Unfortunately, he came up empty for fantasy managers who reinserted him into lineups. Schultz played 90 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps, so he didn't seem to be facing any limitations in his return from the knee injury. The 26-year-old's outlook should get a much-needed boost in the coming weeks, when quarterback Dak Prescott (thumb) makes his return to the lineup.

  • Playing Sunday

    Schultz (knee) is listed as active Sunday against the Commanders, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Making his first appearance since Week 2 due to a sprained PCL in his right knee, Schultz will be a part of a Cowboys receiving corps that will have Michael Gallup (knee) available for the first time this season. That reality could result in fewer looks than normal for Schultz, not to mention the fact that rookie tight ends Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot may also snipe reps at the position. Nonetheless, Schultz is the unquestioned No. 1 TE in Dallas and should get most of the snaps among…read more

  • Expected to play

    Schultz (knee), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Commanders, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The Cowboys will likely make the decision official closer to the Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff, but this is still encouraging news given Schultz missed the Week 3 contest against the Giants. The Cowboys are also expected to see the season debut of star wide receiver Michael Gallup, meaning the entirety of the team's pass-catching corps should be healthy, albeit without quarterback Dak Prescott, who remains out following thumb surgery.

  • Questionable for Sunday

    Schultz (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Patrick Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: Schultz was a limited practice participant throughout the week and could be treated as a game-time decision ahead of the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff this Sunday. It was the same drill ahead of Monday's eventual win over the Giants, though Schultz never seemed likely to play after managing just one limited practice before the game. He has better odds this time around, with Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot on hand to handle TE snaps if Schultz can't play. Ferguson got most of the playing time Monday…read more

  • Another limited practice

    Schultz (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Schultz took a seat Monday at the Giants after spraining his PCL in Week 2. Through two sessions this week, he's been limited while donning a brace on his right knee, per Todd Archer of ESPN.com, but executive vice president Stephen Jones relayed to Clarence E. Hill Jr. of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Thursday that the Cowboys believe the tight end should be available Sunday versus the Commanders. In the end, though, Friday's injury report will be telling for Schultz's odds to do so.

  • Stays limited Wednesday

    Schultz (knee) practiced on a limited basis Wednesday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Schultz was unable to play in Monday's win over the Giants due to a sprained PCL in his right knee that he sustained Week 2 against the Bengals. He managed one limited session last Saturday and maintained that level of activity to kick off the current week. Schultz will have a pair of sessions to get back to full before the Cowboys potentially make a call on his availability for Sunday's contest against the Commanders.

  • Not playing in Week 3

    Schultz (knee) is inactive for Monday's game at the Giants.

    Analysis: Schultz sustained a PCL injury in his right knee near the end of the Cowboys' Week 2 win against the Bengals, which capped him to one limited session (Saturday) during Week 3 prep. While Schultz initially was expected to be a game-time decision, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reported Monday afternoon that the tight end was trending toward an absence. Indeed, Schultz will be sidelined, leaving TE reps to rookie Jake Ferguson, Peyton Hendershot and practice squad call-up Sean McKeon.

  • Not expected to play Monday

    Schultz (knee) is not expected to play Monday night against the Giants, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Per Fowler, Schultz has been pushing to test the injury out pregame, but it remains unlikely he'll be cleared to play. The tight end suffered a PCL strain last week against the Bengals, so missing a week or two should be expected. If Schultz is indeed sidelined, Jake Ferguson would likely be the Cowboys' top option at TE, while Sean McKeon could also be promoted from the practice squad for added depth.

    Schultz (knee) will test his right knee Monday, but there remains a strong chance he won't be able to play Week 3 against the Giants, The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The tight end suffered a PCL sprain last week against the Bengals, so missing some time wouldn't be a surprise. If Schultz can't go, rookie Jake Ferguson likely would be the Cowboys' top option at TE, while Sean McKeon also could be promoted from the practice squad for added depth.

  • Game-time decision for Monday

    Schultz (knee) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: We'll likely need to wait for more information from Dallas' camp, as Schultz was listed as a limited participant in Saturday's practice, but considering it was only a walkthrough, it's hard to discern how much that stacks up against his previous two DNPs. Expect rookie Jake Ferguson to see significantly more playing time in the event Schultz is unable to play.

  • Still sidelined Friday

    Schultz (knee) remained sidelined at Friday's practice, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Schultz missed a second consecutive practice, though he managed to do some ball-skill work on the side. The tight end will have one more opportunity to ramp up his practice activity Saturday, at which point a final decision on his availability for Monday's game against the Giants could become known. If Schultz were to miss the clash between NFC East rivals, rookie Jake Ferguson would bump up to the top of Dallas' tight end depth chart.

  • No practice Thursday

    Schultz (knee) did not practice Thursday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Jon Machota of The Athletic previously reported that Dallas would increase Schultz's practice workload "a little" each day leading up to Monday's game against the Giants, so by that reading Schultz's absence from Thursday's practice is inconclusive about his current status. If Schultz progresses to a limited practice Friday then he might have a shot to suit up Monday, but if Schultz goes into Saturday with no practice time logged it might make him a long shot at that point.

  • To ramp up in practice every day

    Schultz (knee) will increase his practice workload every day leading up to Monday's game against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Schultz will have a chance to suit up for Monday Night Football as long as things progress on track through Sunday. The tight end is dealing with a PCL sprain to his right knee, and while it seems like he won't practice in full Thursday, the extent of his participation Friday and Saturday should be more telling as to his game-time status. If Schultz does manage to take the field versus New York on Monday, he will once again be catching passes from Cooper Rush in place of Dak Prescott (thumb).

  • Iffy for Monday night

    Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said Tuesday that Schultz is dealing with a PCL sprain to his right knee and is being viewed as questionable in advance of Dallas' Week 3 game Monday against the Giants, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. "We'll see how he works this week. My assessment is [the knee injury] is not long term," Jones said of Schultz.

    Analysis: Schultz's injury caused him to exit late in the Cowboys' win over the Bengals last Sunday, and he seems unlikely to be a full practice participant when Dallas begins Week 3 prep in earnest Thursday. Jones' comments suggest that Schultz could make enough progress as the week unfolds to suit up Monday, but fantasy managers may want to begin preparing to have another option available to use at tight end Week 3 in case the 26-year-old isn't ready to play versus the Giants. Even if Schultz gains…read more

  • Tending to PCL injury

    Schultz was diagnosed with a PCL injury in his right knee after exiting Sunday's win over the Bengals, and his availability for the Cowboys' Week 3 matchup with the Giants is uncertain, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Schultz at least will have the benefit of an additional day of rest with the Cowboys not playing the Giants until next Monday, but that may provide enough time for the tight end to fully move past the injury. Before he exited the victory over the Bengals, Schultz turned his four targets from quarterback Cooper Rush into two receptions for 18 yards. Rookie Jake Ferguson, who went without a target while playing 58 percent of the Cowboys' offensive snaps Week 2, is the next man up at tight end if…read more

    Schultz (knee) is believed to have avoided a long-term injury, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Schultz was forced out of Sunday's win over the Bengals late due to a right knee injury, but the results of Monday's MRI reveal that he's avoided a worst-case scenario. The tight end's status for Week 3 versus the Giants in prime time will need to be monitored, but it looks like Schultz could have a chance of suiting up for Monday Night Football.

    Schultz is slated to undergo an MRI on his right knee Monday, Michael Gehlken of the Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: The tight end suffered a knee injury late in the fourth quarter of Sunday's win over the Bengals. Prior to his exit from the contest, Schultz caught two of his four targets for 18 yards. For now, his Week 3 status is unclear, but Gehlken does note that Schultz appears to have avoided damage to his ACL.

    Schultz caught seven of nine targets for 62 yards in Sunday's 19-3 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: It was a night to forget for the entire Cowboys offense, but at least Schultz was able to get his fantasy managers some garbage-time yardage for a nice start to the 2022 campaign. The tight end still takes a hit in value following the post-game announcement that Dak Prescott (thumb) will require surgery that will cost the signal-caller multiple games.

  • Unlikely to play

    Schultz and most other starters aren't expected to play in Friday's final preseason game against Seattle, with the Cowboys looking ahead to their Week 1 matchup with the Buccaneers, Clarence Hill of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: The Cowboys will rest starters for a third straight week, prioritizing health over reps throughout the preseason. Schultz could be even busier this year than he was during his breakout 2021, as the Cowboys traded WR Amari Cooper to Cleveland and don't expect WR Michael Gallup (knee) to be ready for Week 1. The downside there is that Schultz will get more attention from defenses, starting with a Tampa unit that has S Antoine Winfield and LBs Lavonte David and Devin White patrolling the middle of…read more

  • Will play under franchise tag

    Schultz is set to play the 2022 season on a one-year guaranteed franchise tag of $10.93 million, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Analysis: The tight end and the team were unable to come to terms on a long-term deal by Friday's deadline and the next chance the two sides will have to re-enter such talks will be after the coming season. Schultz, who participated in the Cowboys' mandatory minicamp last month after missing a portion of the squad's voluntary OTAs, seems likely to report to training camp on July 25 without any issues, per Eatman.

  • Unlikely to sign extension

    Schultz is not expected to reach an agreement on a contract extension with the Cowboys before Friday's 4:00 p.m ET deadline for franchise-tagged players, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Schultz appears poised to play the 2022 season on a $10.9 million franchise tag, barring any last-minute breakthrough in his contract negotiations with Dallas. The 25-year-old skipped a portion of the Cowboys' voluntary OTAs due to dissatisfaction with his contract situation before reporting to mandatory minicamp in mid-June.

    Analysis: The tight end elected to skip the final week of the Cowboys' voluntary OTAs with an eye toward jump-starting contract negotiations. As things currently stand, Schultz is slated to play this coming season under a $10.9 million franchise tag, but NFL Network's Tom Pelissero relays that talks related to a potential long-term deal have recently picked up.

  • Skipping rest of OTAs

    Schultz informed the Cowboys on Monday he intends to skip the remainder of voluntary OTAs due to dissatisfaction with his current contract, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Schultz has already signed with Dallas for the 2022 season via a one-year, $10.9 million franchise tender, but both sides still have until July 15 to work out a long-term deal. The soon-to-be 26-year-old produced a 78-808-8 line on 104 targets across 17 games last season, and he racked up 615 receiving yards the year prior. In the wake of David Njoku signing a four-year, $56.75 million contract in Cleveland, it's unsurprising to see Schultz attempt to push the Cowboys toward an extension.…read more

The soon-to-be 26-year-old proved his value on offense by racking up 808 yards and eight touchdowns across 17 contests last season, and with Blake Jarwin (hip) expected to miss the start of the 2022 campaign, shoring up the No. 1 tight end spot was exceptionally vital.

  • Leading receiver in wild-card loss

    Schultz caught seven of eight targets for 89 yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the 49ers in the wild-card round.

    Analysis: The tight end was once again Dak Prescott's most reliable option, leading the Cowboys in catches and yards as their season came to a disappointing finish. Schultz proved his 2020 performance was no fluke, setting career highs across the board by hauling in 78 passes on 104 targets for 808 yards and eight touchdowns across 17 regular-season games. He'll head into the offseason an unrestricted free agent, and Schultz has set himself up for a big payday, either from Dallas or from another club.

The tight end's initial end-zone trip came from two yards, then Schultz revisited pay dirt from nine yards just five seconds before halftime.

The tight end has an impressive 22-203-2 line on 27 targets over the last three games, but as Dallas will have little on the line in Week 18 against Philadelphia, the team's starters -- including Schultz -- could get some extra rest ahead of the playoffs.

    Schultz caught one of three targets for four yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over Washington.

    Analysis: It was something of an odd day for the Dallas offense, as Dak Prescott struggled to move the ball consistently even with the defense giving him some short fields, and Schultz's lack of production reflected that erratic performance. The tight end's numbers have declined since Michael Gallup returned to the lineup, and with CeeDee Lamb and Amari Cooper also healthy, there may not be a lot of looks left over for Schultz.

    Analysis: While it wasn't an efficient effort, Schultz salvaged his day with a 32-yard TD catch from Dak Prescott down the seam in the fourth quarter, with Prescott going right back to Schultz for a two-point conversion that tied the score at 30-30 with less than three minutes left on the clock. The touchdown was the fourth of the season for the fourth-year tight end, tying his career high from last year, but Schultz will likely remain a volatile fantasy option in Week 13 against the Saints.

    Schultz caught six of eight targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to Kansas City.

    Analysis: While Michael Gallup led the Cowboys with 10 targets, Schultz was Dak Prescott's most reliable option and tied for the team lead in catches while leading in receiving yards. The six grabs also tied his season high, and with Amari Cooper (COVID-19) already ruled out for a Thanksgiving Day game against the Raiders and CeeDee Lamb (concussion) potentially unavailable as well, the tight end could be in line for big volume.

    Analysis: Dak Prescott attempted 31 passes on the afternoon (with four more coming from Ezekiel Elliott on a trick play and then Cooper Rush on the final couple drives of a blowout win), but Schultz was an afterthought in the offense as he tied for his season low in targets. It's not yet clear whether his reduction in volume was due to this particular matchup, or Michael Gallup's return to action -- or a bit of both -- but Schultz suddenly seems a lot riskier heading into a Week 11 clash with Kansas City.

    Schultz recorded four receptions on five targets for 54 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Schultz led the team in receiving yards, though that is more of an indication of the Cowboys' lack of offensive production than a tremendous performance on his part. He compiled the majority of his production with receptions of 20 and 17 yards, marking his fourth game this season in which has recorded a catch of 20 or more yards. Schultz has seen a consistent role in the offense this season, and that should only further solidified while Blake Jarwin (hip) remains sidelined.

Prescott is expected back Week 9 against the Broncos, however, which could allow the tight end to bounce back to the level that saw him post a 23-296-3 line on 29 targets over his prior four games.

Schultz now has three consecutive six-catch efforts, and although he saw his touchdown streak end at two games Sunday, his 79-yard tally served as his second highest this season.

    Schultz caught six of seven targets for 80 yards and two touchdowns in Monday night's 41-21 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Schultz led the Cowboys in all major receiving categories, scoring a couple of times along the way. The tight end's first touchdown came on a wide-open 19-yarder in the first quarter, then Schultz showed niftiness running after the catch on his 22-yard score in the fourth. Through three games, the veteran has now hauled in 14 of 15 targets thrown his way, making him a dependable option for Dak Prescott, but the presence of so many playmakers within Dallas' offense limits Schultz's weekly upside.

  • Quiet in Week 2 win

    Schultz caught both his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's win over the Chargers.

    Analysis: Blake Jarwin caught one more pass than Schultz and gained more real estate with his grabs, but neither tight end was particularly productive. It will likely take an injury to one of them to make the other a viable fantasy option on a weekly basis.

  • Solid season-opening effort

    Schultz secured all six of his targets for 45 yards in the Cowboys' 31-29 loss to the Buccaneers on Thursday night.

    Analysis: The sure-handed tight end turned in an efficient performance that saw him slot in third in receptions and receiving yards on the Cowboys behind the prolific wideout duo of Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb. Position mate Blake Jarwin was active and turned in three grabs of his own in his first regular-season action since tearing his ACL against the Rams in the 2020 season opener, but if Thursday is any indication, Schultz still will retain a solid role in an offense that could tilt toward the pass…read more

  • One grab Saturday

    Schultz caught his only target for nine yards in Saturday's preseason loss to the Texans.

    Analysis: Both Schultz and Blake Jarwin saw snaps with the first-team offense, but it was Jarwin who made the bigger impact as he caught a 25-yard pass to set up the Cowboys' first TD of the night. It could be tough for either tight end to make a consistent fantasy impact as long as both are healthy, but Schultz is more likely to be the secondary receiving option of the duo.

  • Should be ready for Week 1

    Schultz (ankle) didn't attend Friday's preseason game against the Cardinals but is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: This could affect his competition with Blake Jarwin, who finished with no catches on one target Friday in his first game appearance since suffering an ACL tear last September. Schultz filled in capably with 63 receptions, playing 84.8 percent of snaps in an offense that attempted 639 passes. A similar workload is unlikely if Jarwin stays healthy, but that doesn't automatically mean Schultz will hand over the starting job. It sounds like he'll be back for Week 1 even if he misses the rest of…read more

  • Nursing ankle sprain

    Schultz was diagnosed with a right ankle sprain after exiting Wednesday's practice, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: There's no timeline for Schultz's return to the field, but his ankle sprain isn't believed to be serious. The 25-year-old is unlikely to be available for Friday's preseason contest in Arizona in any case. Schultz broke out in 2020 with 63 receptions for 615 yards and four touchdowns after Blake Jarwin went down in Week 1 with a torn ACL. The pair should continue to compete for the starting role at tight end, assuming Schultz's ankle issue doesn't impact his availability for the start of the…read more

  • Suffers ankle injury

    Schultz injured his ankle at Wednesday's practice, Jane Slater of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Aided by Blake Jarwin's Week 1 ACL tear, Schultz broke out last season to the tune of 63 catches (on 89 targets) for 615 yards and four touchdowns. Schultz has picked up his own health concern, which isn't believed to be serious, per Slater. With the Cowboys' next preseason contest coming Friday in Arizona, it wouldn't be surprising if the team is cautious and keeps Schultz on the sideline until he's back to 100 percent.

  • One grab in exhibition opener

    Schultz secured one of two targets for 15 yards during the Cowboys' 16-3 preseason loss to the Steelers in Thursday's Hall of Fame Game.

    Analysis: Schultz opened the game with Garrett Gilbert operating as his quarterback and was productive on the one grab he was able to make. The 2018 fourth-round pick turned in an impressive 63-615-4 line across 16 games last season following Blake Jarwin's Week 1 season-ending knee injury, and with the latter being handled with care this summer, Schultz is still slated to see a solid amount of work in practices and preseason contests for the time being.

  • Seeing most first-team reps so far

    Schultz has received the bulk of first-team reps in training camp as Blake Jarwin gets brought along slowly following last year's knee injury, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The split in reps between the two is likely to change as Jarwin gets fully up to speed, but for his part Schultz is having a good camp and isn't going to give up the top spot on the depth chart easily. The numbers suggest Jarwin is the better receiver of the two, but that doesn't mean he'll see more targets during the season.

  • Facing threat to starting job

    Shultz will compete with fellow tight end Blake Jarwin, who appears ready for the start of training camp after suffering a torn ACL in Week 1 last season, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Analysis: Jarwin suffered the injury six months after signing a three-year extension, so the team still has some investment in him even after a lost season. His absence opened the door for Schultz to see 89 targets, but the 2018 fourth-round pick finished with a modest receiving line (63-615-4), as big plays were few and far between. The two now figure to compete for a starting job this summer, and it's possible the Cowboys ultimately settle on a committee approach at tight end.

  • Ends season on high note

    Schultz caught seven of 10 targets for 70 yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: The third-year tight end had his highest yardage total since Week 4 while tying his season high in targets during the Cowboys' final outing of 2020. Schultz came into the season with low expectations, but a season-ending knee injury to Blake Jarwin in Week 1 thrust him into a starting role, and he never looked back. Schultz caught multiple passes in 14 of his 15 starts, finishing the year with a 63-615-4 line on 89 targets after managing only 13 grabs through his first 27 NFL games. Jarwin is…read more

  • Three grabs against Eagles

    Schultz caught three of four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Andy Dalton primarily was focused on attacking a vulnerable Philly secondary with his trio of excellent wide receivers -- Amari Cooper, Michael Gallup and CeeDee Lamb -- leaving little production left over for Schultz. The third-year tight end has caught multiple passes in 10 straight games, giving him a decent floor in deep PPR leagues, but he hasn't topped 53 receiving yards and only has two TDs during that stretch.

  • Scores fourth TD

    Schultz caught both of his targets for 14 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the 49ers.

    Analysis: He was on the end on a 12-yard toss from Andy Dalton in the third quarter, giving the tight end his first TD since Week 11 and fourth of the season. Schultz has seen only 11 targets over the last four games, giving him limited fantasy appeal heading into Week 16's clash with the Eagles.

  • Limited involvement in win

    Schultz caught all three of his targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 30-7 win over the Bengals.

    Analysis: The Cowboys' passing game didn't need to do much after three early Cincinnati fumbles led to 17 first-half points for Dallas, limiting Schultz's production. The tight end hasn't reached 50 receiving yards in five straight games heading into a Week 15 clash with the 49ers.

  • Four catches in loss

    Schultz caught all four of his targets for 44 yards in Tuesday's 34-17 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: The tight end was one of five Dallas players to reach 40 receiving yards, as Andy Dalton spread the ball around while trying to mount an ultimately futile comeback in the second half. Schultz has seen at least four targets in seven straight games, but he has only one touchdown and hasn't topped 53 receiving yards during that stretch, giving him very limited fantasy appeal in most formats.

  • Five grabs in big loss

    Schultz caught all five of his targets for 24 yards in Thursday's loss to Washington.

    Analysis: With Andy Dalton under consistent pressure from Chase Young and the Washington pass rush, Schultz was utilized as little more than a bail-out option by the veteran quarterback, with his longest reception going for only seven yards. The tight end has still caught at least four passes in four straight games, giving him a steady floor in PPR formats heading into Week 13's road clash with the Ravens.

  • Finds end zone Sunday

    Schultz caught four of six targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Vikings.

    Analysis: The tight end continues to see fairly steady target volume no matter who is under center for the Cowboys, but with Andy Dalton back at the helm, Schultz was able to score his first TD since Week 4. He'll look to build on his red-zone chemistry with Dalton in a Thanksgiving Day clash with Washington.

  • Corrals four passes in loss

    Schultz caught four of seven targets for 48 yards in Sunday's 24-19 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Schultz hasn't been bothered by the quarterback turnover through the past two weeks, as he produced 10 receptions for 101 yards on 15 targets while playing at least 95 percent of the snaps in each game. The third-year tight end now has a 35-383-2 line through nine games. The Cowboys may get Andy Dalton (concussion) back following the Week 10 bye.

  • Sees eight targets in loss

    Schultz reeled in six of eight targets for 53 yards Sunday in the Cowboys' 23-9 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Schultz's production has been trending down since Dak Prescott suffered a season-ending ankle injury Week 5, but the tight end benefited from third-string quarterback Ben DiNucci drawing the start in place of the concussed Andy Dalton. The Eagles' fierce pass rush coupled with a banged-up offensive line effectively eliminated the Cowboys' downfield passing game, forcing DiNucci to rely on Schultz as a safety valve underneath. Schultz was able to turn his high target count into decent production…read more

  • Two grabs in Sunday's loss

    Schultz caught two of four targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 25-3 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: The tight end's four targets ranked third on the Cowboys for the day, and he was the only other Dallas player to catch multiple passes aside from Amari Cooper. The outlook for the entire offense is bleak due to multiple injuries along the offensive line, but with rookie Ben DiNucci potentially being forced into action Week 8 in place of Andy Dalton (concussion), Schultz could still see decent target volume as a security blanket for the young QB in his first NFL start.

  • Snags four passes in losing effort

    Schultz corralled four of his five targets for 35 receiving yards during Monday's 38-10 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: On what was a sluggish offensive night for the Cowboys, Andy Dalton at least proved capable of putting up garbage-time production, distributing 34 completions, 266 passing yards and a touchdown to his array of talented targets. Schultz was the team's third-leading receiver, also tying his second-highest catch total of the season during the blowout loss. He had an off game with just one catch and six yards against the Giants last Sunday, but otherwise he has scored two touchdowns while averaging…read more

  • Just one catch Sunday

    Schultz caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's win over the Giants.

    Analysis: The tight end didn't see much involvement in the passing game, as Dallas' wide receivers accounted for 25 of the 32 targets thrown by Dak Prescott (ankle) and Andy Dalton. With Prescott lost for the year and the offense potentially forced to be a little more conservative as a result, however, Schultz's role could become more consistent if he can establish some chemistry with Dalton.

  • Clear of thigh issue

    Schultz (thigh) isn't listed on the Cowboys' injury report Wednesday.

    Analysis: Near the conclusion of this past Sunday's loss to the Browns, Schultz took a helmet to his thigh, but the issue hasn't affected his ability to take part in practice three days later. With Blake Jarwin (knee) on injured reserve, Schultz remains locked in as Dallas' No. 1 tight end for the rest of the season. So far this season, Schultz has managed 18 receptions (on 28 targets) for 219 yards and two touchdowns.

  • Expected to play Week 5

    Schultz (thigh) is expected to play Sunday against the Giants, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The tight end took a helmet to the thigh late in Sunday's loss to the Browns but the team is optimistic that he won't miss time. His level of participation in practice as the week progresses will give a clearer picture of his status heading into Sunday. If Schultz is limited, Blake Bell and Sean McKeon would see additional reps.

  • Hauls in TD against Browns

    Schultz caught four of eight targets for 72 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: With Dak Prescott forced to air it out every week to try and compensate for the Cowboys' atrocious defense, Schultz is getting plenty of chances to make an impact, hauling in 17 catches on 24 targets for 208 yards and two TDs over the last three weeks. His production isn't likely to be consistent on a week-to-week basis given all the other options at Prescott's disposal, but the tight end still is headed for a breakout season.

  • Modest numbers in Week 4

    Schultz caught four of six targets for 48 yards in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: The tight end wasn't able to follow up his impressive Week 2 with a similar performance, but Schultz still received a healthy number of targets, and it should be noted Dak Prescott attempted 57 passes overall in a 38-31 loss. Schultz could be headed for a productive day Week 4 against a Browns defense that's already given up 22 catches and three TDs to tight ends through three weeks.

  • Breaks out with nine catches, TD

    Schultz corralled nine of 10 targets for 88 yards and a touchdown, losing one fumble during Sunday's 40-39 win against the Falcons.

    Analysis: Fantasy GMs in leagues large and small will be rushing to the waiver wire to add the 24-year-old tight end, as he may have secured a key role within Dallas' high-octane passing attack as result of Blake Jarwin's torn ACL. Schultz attracted just 19 combined targets across his first 27 NFL appearances between 2018 and 2019, but he has already garnered 14 in the early going of the new campaign. The slate toughens up somewhat in Week 3, as the Cowboys take on a Seahawks defense that permitted just…read more

  • Four targets Week 1

    Schultz caught one of four targets for 11 yards in Sunday's loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Dak Prescott looked his way more often after Blake Jarwin hurt his knee in the first half, but the extra targets didn't result in much production for Schultz. With Jarwin feared to be lost for the season due to a torn ACL, Schultz could step into a much more significant role in the offense as the Cowboys' primary receiving tight end with Blake Bell mainly handling blocking assignments.

  • Minimal role in 2019

    Schultz wrapped up the regular season having caught one of two targets for six yards.

    Analysis: While he played in every game, Schultz never saw more than 17 snaps on offense in any given week and the second-year tight end had basically no role as a receiver working behind Jason Witten and Blake Jarwin. Even if Witten heads back into retirement, Schultz likely wouldn't get enough targets in 2020 to make a fantasy impact with Jarwin very clearly the heir apparent at the position.

  • Sees just one snap in win

    Schultz played just one offensive snap in Monday night's win over the Giants.

    Analysis: That marks a new low for the season for Schultz as he's currently buried on the tight-end depth chart for the Cowboys behind Jason Witten and Blake Jarwin. The second-year pro has just one target on the year, hauling it in for a six-yard gain back in Week 6 against the Jets.
