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.

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.

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 last five weeks, coinciding with the stretch of time that injuries began impacting the wide receivers. After catching five touchdowns during his first season in Houston, Schultz is still looking for his first score in 2024.

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 his 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 Dell was inactive and has 16 targets over the last three games, compared to six over the first two games of the season.

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, partially due to Tank Dell (chest) being inactive for the game.
