TE Dalton Schultz, HOU (1 Viewer)

He was declared out prior to the game?

DALTON SCHULTZTE, DALLAS COWBOYS

Dalton Schultz (knee) is inactive for Week 6 against the Eagles.​

Schultz, who re-injured a PCL sprain in Week 5, was removed from the team's injury report heading into Sunday Night Football before popping on the inactives list. Fantasy managers will want to ensure he is out of their lineups for Week 6. Expect Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot to handle tight end duties for Dallas as they battle the Eagles for the top spot in the surprisingly competitive NFC East.

 

[Hot Sauce Guy]

That surprise inactive was brutal. I had a great chance if he gave me ~10 points. Practiced in full Friday, OUT Sunday.

Hopefully the extra time off gets him 100% when Dak is back (since Dak will actually look his way)

I had Peyton Hendershot to plug in, but ~4 points wasn't quite enough.

Ah, ok, I didn't see the actives/inactives for the night game. So even more uncertainty for his value going forward.

I don't see uncertainty. Seems a lot like the team wanted to get his knee right for when Dak comes back, and with Ferguson & Hendershot both available in a game they probably expected to lose, it made sense to bench him for this one.

Again, he practiced in full on Friday. Reports were that he looked great.

IMO they're more worried about ROS than Sunday night's game.

Last nights game was pretty darn important. If he could have played and helped the team win you would think he would have.

Last nights game was pretty darn important. If he could have played and helped the team win you would think he would have.

But if he was at risk to injure it further (as he did when he rushed back last week and aggravated the PCL) then you bench him and let your depth work for you to protect you for the ROS.

With a limited QB like Rush at the helm, it's not like Schultz would have been that much more helpful than the Ferguson / Hendershot duo - one of whom scored, the other came damn close to scoring btw. But Rush most certainly did not give the Cowboys a great shot at beating the Eagles in PHI, so I totally understand the scratch despite the full practice.

I'm not saying last night wasn't an important game for the Cowboys. I'm saying Schultz is too important to the Cowboys ROS to risk jacking his knee up and missing multiple games. It was a smart decision to give him a week of rest IMO.

Dalton Schultz (knee) is active for Week 7 against the Lions.​

Schultz was not listed on the final injury report, but the same was true last week before he was a surprise inactive due to a pre-game setback with his injured knee. He got through warm-ups fine this week, though, and gets back Dak Prescott at quarterback. Schultz is a risky play, but the upside is there for a big game in a great matchup.

[The Frankman]

Dalton Schultz caught all five of his targets for 49 yards in the Cowboys' Week 7 win over the Lions.​

It was Schultz's best game since Week 1, but that's not saying much, as he's been injured much of the last few weeks with a PCL injury. He appeared to aggravate it again Sunday, but a limping Schultz played through the issue. He doesn't look close to 100 percent, but Schultz should rack up catches from Dak Prescott, putting him on the back end of the TE1 map ahead of a Week 8 date against the Bears.

Just the epitome of a roster clogger - too good to cut, not reliable enough to start

I get the bet; you're betting on the offense, the QB, the other options in the passing game.

routes run by WK (bare minimum for a Top 12 TE is 23:

1. 44
2. 24 (no Dak)
3. DNP
4. 23 (no Dak)
5. 6 (only played 9 snaps)
6. DNP
7. 14

Last season he averaged 28.94 RR per game. If you're an optimist you could say he's averaging 29.00 in games Dak plays. /s

I'm playing TE roulette ROS with Dulcich and Engram. They average 27.86 and 29.00 rr per game. Worse QB, worse offense, and neither is a Top 2 target on their own team. I've streamed TEs in the past and it's about as much fun as a root canal. Ying yang pairings aren't any easier, no doubt I'll pick the wrong one 1/3rd of the time.

But the best ability is availability, and I'm done with checking practice reports; no more guessing if this is the week Schultz will be a GTD again. Happy to rid my team of a roster clogger. “And I could hear that old Negro spiritual once more crying out: ‘Free at last, free at last, Great God Almighty, I’m free at last.’ ”

IME injury plagued seasons don't morph into upside. Hope I'm wrong, I like Schultz a lot when he's healthy. This year, he's not.

I dumped two mid-round picks this week - Schultz and Edmonds. Little slow on the latter.

Did some preliminary ROS scheduling & realized Dulcich/Engram are like a good DT pairing, when one has a tough TE matchup the other has a plus matchup.

Strong team (5-2) but got a whopping 6.8 pts - TOTAL - from TE WKs 2-6. Can’t imagine Ying/Yang pairing being worse lol.

Thank you. Feel marginally better whiffing on my 6th round, TE6. Pitts went TE3/3.07, think that was close to his ADP. 4/5 (Waller) went B2B 1/2 round before Schultz. Hock went in the 7th - what’s he given his managers, 1 elite game & a steaming pile.

Terrible year for the position. 5th place team in our league took Kelce & Andrews with 2.10/3.03. Everyone else in the league is basically in the same boat.

Dalton Schultz (knee) is active for Week 8 against the Bears.​

Schultz continues to play through injuries after he reaggravated his knee injury last week against the 49ers. Assuming he can play through a complete game on Sunday, the veteran tight end is a low-end TE1 in Week 8 against the Bears.

painful year at TE

Engram I traded for (49ers DT & they’ve stunk bc of all the injuries)

Dulcich somebody cut & next WW run there were like 4 bids - think I paid $8

I’m completely comfortable moving on from Schultz, glad he did well today

Dalton Schultz caught 4-of-4 targets for 31 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' Week 12 win over the Giants.​

The Cowboys totaled three tight end TDs, with rookie Peyton Hendershot also scoring on a jet sweep. Schultz's first tight end was especially impressive, with Dak Prescott finding him in the corner of the end zone on a 3rd-and-goal from the 15-yard line. He scored a 6-yard TD later in the third quarter. Schultz will be a TE1 against the Colts in Week 13.

Dak always looks for Schultz, especially in the red zone. That’s quite valuable in this year’s barren TE landscape.

Dalton Schultz Manages Just Two Catches In Week 15​

Dalton Schultz hauled in two of his four targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 40-34 overtime loss to the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact:​

Schultz went quiet on Sunday, taking a backseat to the CeeDee Lamb and Noah Brown show in the Dallas receiving room. It was a disappointing start to the fantasy playoffs for the tight end, who has shown flashes of elite production for the position. Expect him to bounce back to TE1 status for Week 16.

yeah, the ENTIRE year I've missed on playing the right TE at the right time EVERY EFFIN WEEK-heck, I had Engram for awhile -- I'm not even gonna fret about starting Schultz this week -- no control over it

 

[djjosee]

Great game last night ... unfortunately, one week to late.

Hopeful Dallas re-signs him.

 

[efactor]

A bum for me last week, a hero this week

 

[menobrown]

Was painful to experience last night because he was on my bench in a FFPC TE premium dynasty final. I don't even have great options in over him, probably Diontae Johnson and Dotson, but he had not been doing a lot lately and I was starting Lamb and incorrectly thought this was not a game to start two Cowboy pass catchers as I worried about the game script playing against a team that seemed to go into preseason mode.

 

[JIslander]

I need to drop Knox so NOT to be tempted to bench Schultz again

No oopsie last night -- we'll see if Knox does better

 

[TartanLion]

Really hope he re-signs at Dallas. Dak clearly trusts him and he’s comfortably inside the top 10 TEs this season with effectively 5 full games missed

 

[joey]

Great game last night ... unfortunately, one week to late.

Hopeful Dallas re-signs him.

Right on time for me in the SharkPool FFPC championship!

Yeah, totally hope he stays in Dallas.

 

[TartanLion]

Don’t know about anyone else but he was initially a FA waiver wire grab for me when what’s his face that was expected to have a good season in 2020 got injured. Personally, likewise got Bellinger from 4th round and FA in 2 leagues, Okonkwo as FA this year.

Basically, the more I play this game, the less I want to spend high rookie picks on TEs. It can be random who breaks out, barely any that do do it in the first two years, and even if they do live up to expectations eg Hockenson, do they ever increase in value very much ? Hockenson cost a mid to late 1st as a rookie. Would he be worth anymore now ??

Good RAS score combined with a sub 4.62 40 yard seems to be the best indication as a starting point as to where to mine for talent

 

[Faust]

Dalton Schultz caught 7-of-8 targets for 95 yards and two touchdowns in the Cowboys' Wild Card Round win over the Bucs.​

The connection between Schultz and Dak Prescott was on full display versus the Bucs. Prescott consistently found his tight end open with space to run, resulting in two gains of 20 or more yards. At the end of the night, Schultz had moved the chains three times on top of his pair of scores. With a consistent second receiver nowhere to be found, Schultz has quickly become Prescott's favorite target when CeeDee Lamb is covered. Entering the Divisional Round, Schultz will look to stay hot versus a stingy San Francisco defense.

It can be random who breaks out, barely any that do do it in the first two years, and even if they do live up to expectations eg Hockenson, do they ever increase in value very much ? Hockenson cost a mid to late 1st as a rookie. Would he be worth anymore now ??

Good RAS score combined with a sub 4.62 40 yard seems to be the best indication as a starting point as to where to mine for talent

Very good posting.

Looks like he'll be a cowboy next year

Dude is literally a cornerstone piece of a 2-time championship team for me in a TE premium FFPC league, where I came out of the inaugural draft with question marks at TE that didn’t pan out at all. So I took a stab at this guy in week 2 of last year and he solidified TE last year (and this). I’m really hoping he sticks with Dallas since the fit seems to be perfect.

Same here.

Yep. This a good way to ascertain who has at least potential to score points in fantasy at TE.

@TartanLion @BassNBrew @Hugsy_Malone …would love to see you all contribute to a dynasty/rookie TE thread and share your thoughts on this year’s class. I’m clueless on college players in general and thrive off the rankings and opinions of other great posters on this board

Shultz is a really good receiver and when I watch Dallas, I am amazed how many games he is basically ignored. Seems like good things happen when they target him like they did tonight.

The next Jason Witten

The next Jason Witten

I'm going with the next Blake Jarwin, since I don't expect he'll get re-signed.

I hope I'm wrong for my dynasty leagues. But it seems like Ferguson is the next solid but unspectacular TE waiting to step into that magical role.

Dalton Schultz caught 5-of-10 targets for 27 yards and a touchdown in Dallas' Divisional Round loss to the 49ers.​

Schultz did the block-and-release move for the only Cowboys touchdown of the game, but was otherwise well-contained by the 49ers back seven and generated almost no yards after the catch before lollygagging on his final target of the game and not getting a second foot down, costing the team 15 yards. Schultz and Prescott have a good rapport for fantasy football, and despite dealing with a sprained PCL, Schultz finished with a 57/577/5 line in 15 games. He'll be a free agent coming off the franchise tag this offseason, and Dallas -- as usual -- doesn't have much cap space entering the offseason. His fantasy value will be highly contingent on reupping with the Cowboys, and he could be just a TE2 in some other situations.

spectacular finish to his season

goes out of bounds going backwards (football casuals everywhere: how come the clock is still running) and then has the laziest one foot catch I've ever seen in an NFL game

You probably want meno for that one. He seems right on top of it. Already.

I’d be surprised if one play changed the Cowboys’ plans, but that sure wasn’t a good look for him with the game on the line. In any event, it’s not like he’s not replaceable so they might have been planning to him test the waters anyway.
