Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz agreed to terms on a one-year contract extension with the Texans Friday, March 6, worth $12.6 million, according to sources.
Huddle Up: Schultz has been a solid target in the passing game since joining the Texans and should receive a similar workload again next season. He can be considered a low-end No. 1 or high-end No. 2 tight end in fantasy leagues.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz's (calf) calf injury is not expected to be a long-term issue, according to general manager Nick Caserio.
Huddle Up: It seems like Schultz should be able to participate in most of the offseason workouts despite the injury. He will likely be a solid part of the Texans passing game next season and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues.

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 20-of-47 passes for 212 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions in the AFC Divisional Round playoff game loss to the New England Patriots. RB Woody Marks rushed 14 times for just 17 yards, while posting two receptions for 19 yards, and RB Nick Chubb ran four times for 14 yards, while going without a catch on a single target. WR Jayden Higgins led the team with six receptions, 59 yards and 10 targets, while TE Dalton Schultz (calf) had two grabs for 47 yards before leaving with a calf injury. WR Xavier Hutchinson had four catches for 44 yards on 3 targets, TE Harrison Bryant had 21 yards on three catches with six targets and TE Cade Stover (knee) had a 2-yard reception on three targets before leaving with a knee ailment. WR Christian Kirk had two catches, 20 yards and a TD on six targets.

Updating a previous report, Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (calf) left the AFC Divisional Round playoff game against the New England Patriots in the first quarter due to a calf injury, and he will not return. He had two receptions for 47 yards, including a 42-yard big gainer, on two targets before departing.
Huddle Up: With Schultz on the shelf, the primary tight end duties will fall to Cade Stover, while Harrison Bryant also could factor in. It's a bummer for Schultz and DFS players, as he was off to a hot start after the early big gainer.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (calf) left the AFC Divisional Round playoff game against the New England Patriots in the first quarter due to a calf injury. He was taken to the blue medical tent, and then to the locker room, and he is considered questionable to return.
Huddle Up: Schultz had a long reception in the first quarter, going for 42 yards, and he had two grabs for 47 yards on two targets before departing. If he cannot return, Cade Stover would likely get a longer look at TE, while Jayden Higgins, Xavier Hutchinson, Christian Kirk, Jaylin Noel and Woody Marks, already picking up the slack for Nico Collins, would see even more targets in the passing game.

Houston Texans QB C.J. Stroud completed 21 of 32 passes for 250 yards, one touchdown, and one interception in a 30-6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Wild Card Weekend. Stroud also fumbled five times, losing two. RB Woody Marks ran the ball 19 times for 112 yards and a touchdown. RB Nick Chubb had 10 carries for 48 yards. WR Christian Kirk tallied eight receptions (on nine targets) for 144 yards and a score. WR Jayden Higgins finished with three catches for 39 yards, and WR Xavier Hutchinson managed 21 yards on two grabs. WR Jaylin Noel was targeted once but did not have a catch. TE Dalton Schultz caught three of four targeted passes for 12 yards. S Jalen Pitre had a team-high seven tackles (five solo), including two tackles for loss. DT Sheldon Rankins had 1 1/2 sacks and a fumble recovery that he returned for a score. S Calen Bullock had three solo tackles and an interception that was taken back for a touchdown.

TE Dalton Schultz caught all four targets for 73 yards in a Week 18 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Huddle Up: With his four receptions, Schultz finished the season with a career-high 82 this season, four more than 2021 with Dallas. He also finished with 777 yards - second -most to 2023 - and three touchdowns. Schultz is a definite low-end TE1 in most fantasy lineups heading into 2026, but he only has five TDs in his last two seasons after 22 the previous four seasons.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Dec. 31.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Schultz will be able to return to practice later in the week. He is coming off a quiet Week 17 performance but can still be a low-end No. 1 tight end in most leagues if active.

Houston Texans TE Dalton Schultz caught three of his four targets for 19 yards in a 20-16 win over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 17.
Huddle Up: It certainly wasn't Schultz's best outing, but he did manage at least three catches for the fifth game in a row and for the eighth time in the last nine games. His steady role in the passing game makes Schultz a low-end TE1 most weeks, especially in PPR formats.
