Dalton Schultz Fantasy

The Houston Texans are signing free-agent tight end Dalton Schultz to a one-year deal worth up to $9 million on Monday, according to sources. Schultz has 198 catches and 17 touchdowns over the last three seasons with the Dallas Cowboys and is only 26 years old. The former fourth-round selection by the Cowboys in 2018 had 57 receptions on 89 targets for 577 yards and five touchdowns in 15 regular season starts in his fifth year in the NFL in 2022. At the most shallow position in fantasy football, Schultz has been a TE1 in Dallas the last few years and will be Houston's primary pass-catching tight end. While he still might be a TE1 in 2023, he'll likely be much more volatile overall with the Texans likely to roll with an inexperienced rookie under center.

The Los Angeles Chargers are among the teams showing interest in Dallas Cowboys free-agent tight end Dalton Schultz, according to sources. So far, Schultz's price has been too high for teams, but the Chargers hired former Cowboys offensive coordinator Kellen Moore, so there is a connection there. The Bolts already have veteran Gerald Everett in town, but the addition of Schultz would essentially render him useless in fantasy in 2023. The 26-year-old Schultz took a step back in 2022 after setting career-highs in catches (78), yards (808) and touchdowns (eight) in 2021. He finished with 57 receptions for 577 yards and five touchdowns in 15 regular season starts last year. He'd be firmly on the TE1 radar if he landed in LA.

As the Dallas Cowboys focus on adding offensive pieces this offseason, there is currently little momentum for the team to re-sign impending free-agent tight end Dalton Schultz. Barring a shift in winds, Schultz will reach the open market when the new league year begins on March 15. Dallas is expected to use the franchise tag on running back Tony Pollard. If Dallas lets Schultz walk in free agency, Jake Ferguson will likely be their top pass-catching tight end in 2023 in an offense that's expected to run the football more often. While playing under the franchise tag last year, Schultz caught 57 of his 89 targets for 577 yards and five touchdowns in 15 regular season starts in his fifth NFL season. We won't have a better read on his 2023 fantasy value until we know where he'll be playing.
