The Read: Schultz is not the shiny chaos goblet of the tight end position. He is the useful cup you keep reaching for because it never leaks. The fantasy appeal is volume stability, quarterback-friendly spacing, and a middle-field safety-valve role that has survived multiple offenses. Houston’s 2025 usage gave him a career-high 82 catches, proving the veteran still has PPR teeth when the route diet is steady. The ceiling is not alien-math TE1, but the weekly floor can matter.

Risk ShapeCeiling and touchdown squeezeThe catch volume can play, but the fantasy ceiling depends on red-zone access, Texans target competition, and whether the offense tilts toward higher-value routes.
