In addition to signing Singletary and Woods this offseason, the Texans signed former Cowboys tight end Dalton Schultz. Schultz is considered to be among the top 10 players at his position, both through the eye test and in fantasy numbers.
Schultz hauled in 57 receptions for 577 yards and five touchdowns in 15 games last season, totaling 144.7 fantasy points -- the ninth-most at his position. The year before, Schultz was third in fantasy points among tight ends with 206.8.
The soon-to-be 27-year-old (July 11), is expected to be slightly worse than the past couple of seasons due to his new team and rookie quarterback. However, new head coach DeMeco Ryans hopes to change the Texans narrative, but that might take a couple of years.
Tight end is arguably the scarcest position when it comes to fantasy football. The top three at the position are light years ahead of No. 7-10. Schultz still falls into the TE1 spot in fantasy lineups, but he's towards the lower end of the group. If Ryans transforms Houston quicker than expected, Schultz may have a shot at rising into the No. 4-6 tier, but that would be his ceiling.

New 3-year deal for TE Dalton Schultz, Houston
$23.5M guaranteed
By: Mike Krueger | Tue Mar 5, 1:09 pm
|  | Sources: The #Texans have agreed to terms on a deal to keep TE Dalton Schultz in Houston. He gets a 3-year, $36M new contract with $23.5M fully guaranteed at signing. Schultz is a key weapon for C.J. Stroud. The deal was done by TE guru and agent @SteveCaric of @Wass_Football. (Ian Rapoport on X)
FFToday's Take: Schultz's first year in Houston with Stroud resulted in a 55-635-5 line in 15 games played, finishing as the TE11 in PPR leagues. He'll have low-end TE1, high-end TE2 value in redraft leagues this Summer.
