Dalton Schultz Stays in Texas, but Will He Be Fantasy Relevant on the Texans?

Dalton Schultz played out the 2022 season on the franchise tag for the Dallas Cowboys. This status did not lead to a long-term pact between the two, and with free agency a week-old Schultz finally found a home for 2023. But there is a chance it is only for 2023. Schultz inked a one-year, $9m deal with the Houston Texans, becoming the second 2022 tagged tight end to sign a one-year contract during this offseason. (Mike Gesicki played out the 2022 campaign with the Dolphins on the franchise tag. He signed with the New England Patriots a few days ago.)

Schultz has been productive over the last few seasons. But it is hard to see him building on his reputation in “real life” or status in fantasy football in his new home. The Texans have changed so much since the end of the 2022 campaign.

2022 Review

As I’ve already mentioned, Schultz has been one of the most productive players from his position group over the last three years. Since stepping in for an injured Blake Jarwin in 2020, Schultz has enjoyed himself as a regular contributor for the Cowboys.

Lead Writer, soft spot for the tight end position. Will never stop loving Duke Johnson.

Planting Flags: Who Are the RotoViz Writer’s “Guys” in the 2024 NFL Draft?

Neil Dutton April 22, 2024

With the 2024 NFL Draft mere days away, I thought it would be a good idea to let the readers know who are the apples of the RotoViz team’s eyes in this particular draft class. Not necessarily the best player, or the most discussed, but the players who have perhaps flown somewhat under the radar, but whose landing spot is something we will be watching…...

Sam LaPorta and his Merry Men: The 2023 Rookie Tight End Review

Neil Dutton April 3, 2024

Sam LaPorta enjoyed one of the better rookie seasons for a tight end in NFL history. But he wasn’t the only fresh-faced newbie to come into the NFL at fantasy sports’ most toxic position in 2023. Indeed, the position has received a healthy boost of young talent in recent years. This talent is set to fill the void left by the inevitable drop-off from Travis…...

Noah Fant: The More Things Stay the Same, the More They Change

Neil Dutton March 15, 2024

It may have surprised some when Noah Fant, hitting free agency for the first time in his NFL career, decided to stay with the Seattle Seahawks. Fant signed a two-year deal, which left me scratching my head initially. I had high hopes for Fant landing on a new team, with the promise of an expanded role in an offense and a chance to finally realize…...
