Everything you need to know about the tight end position in Week 7
By Heath Cummings Oct 20, 2022 at 4:10 pm ET • 1 min read Icon Sportswire / Contributor While Kyle Pitts gets the most hype, Dalton Schultz may just be the biggest bust at tight end. Even if you don't hold the missed game against him, he only has one game with more than two catches and he turned in a zero despite playing 90% of the snaps in Week 4. After a surprise inactive in Week 6, I would understand if you spite-dropped Schultz. But I'm holding him this week and even starting him in one league. Week 7 Previews: QB WR RB The first positive for Schultz is that he got a full practice in on Wednesday. That trend continuing is the first step toward Schultz earning his way back into your lineup. Well, the first step was getting Dak Prescott back at quarterback, but that's a foregone conclusion at this point. Schultz's 2021 success was predicated on two things, targets and touchdowns. With Cooper Rush, both disappeared because Rush threw 33% of his passes to CeeDee Lamb and the Cowboys scored just one touchdown through the air per game. Prescott has a solid history of throwing nearly 20% of. his passes to tight ends and he's averaged more than two passing touchdowns per game since the start of 2019. If we get a fully healthy Schultz on Sunday, he should be a borderline top 12 tight end. And he should be started above Kyle Pitts.
