The Houston Texans will visit the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Dalton Schultz.
Is Dalton Schultz Playing in Week 17?
Schultz is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Texans’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Schultz in Week 17?
Dalton Schultz is the gold standard for how most people like to draft the TE position and it always is underappreciated.
He’s scored a TD in consecutive games and has at least 11 PPR points in six of his past eight. Schultz is unlikely to post a big number that doubles the production your opponent got and carries you to victory, and that would be a pain if he played any other position.
But he doesn’t. He’s a tight end, and you’re not allowed to complain about consistently viable numbers at that position.
His value for 2026 could be an issue if these rookie receivers develop into real options next to Nico Collinsbut that’s not going to happen overnight and that’s why Schultz is again inside of my top-10 this weekend.
