Schultz caught four of eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots in Week 6. Schultz was given a season-high eight targets -- second most on the team -- as the Houston offense was without Nico Collins (hamstring), who is on injured reserve for at least another three games. Expect Schultz to get more looks while Collins remains sidelined, which could eventually translate into touchdowns. Schultz has yet to score in 2024.

Schultz caught four of eight targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots in Week 6. Schultz was given a season-high eight targets -- second most on the team -- as the Houston offense was without Nico Collins (hamstring), who is on injured reserve for at least another three games. Expect Schultz to get more looks while Collins remains sidelined, which could eventually translate into touchdowns. Schultz has yet to score in 2024.
Schultz caught four of six targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills in Week 5. For the second straight week, Schultz received a bump in targets with one of Houston's top three wideouts injured. After Nico Collins (hamstring) was removed from the game and Buffalo's defense made life difficult for quarterback C.J. Stroud in the second half, Schultz became a security blanket for the second-year quarterback. All six of the tight end's targets came during the third and fourth quarters, with four of them coming on third downs. Schultz received five looks last week when Tank Dell was inactive and has 16 targets over the last three games, compared to six over the first two games of the season.
Schultz caught three of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over Jacksonville in Week 4. For a second straight week, Schultz dealt with an ankle injury during the practice week, but he played significantly. In Week 3, he logged 96 percent of the offensive snaps and was on the field for 87 percent of plays Sunday. Schultz moved up to third on the target list with Tank Dell (chest) inactive for the game.
Schultz (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Schultz opened Week 4 prep Wednesday as a limited practice participant, but his ability to take every rep in Thursday's session clears up any lingering doubt about his availability for this Sunday's game against the Jaguars. Expect the tight end to once again take on ample playing time after he logged 96 percent of Houston's snaps on offense in the Week 3 loss to Minnesota. Schultz drew five targets against the Vikings, and he could see his role in the passing attack expand if either or both of Nico Collins (hamstring) and Tank Dell (chest) aren't cleared to play versus the Jaguars.
Schultz (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday. Schultz continues to manage an ankle issue, but he logged a 96 percent snap share in the Texans' Week 3 loss to the Vikings. Given that there's been no reported setbacks with his injury, chances are the tight end's Wednesday limitations were simply more workload management.
Schultz caught two of five targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings. Schultz, who had been hobbled by an ankle injury during the practice week, was on the field for 96 percent of the offensive snaps. A season-ending injury to Brevin Jordan (knee) cleared out the only real threat to Schultz's volume, and his five targets Sunday were a season high.
Schultz (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Schultz was a limited participant Wednesday in the Texans' first Week 3 practice session, but his ability to take every rep a day later clears the way for the tight end to suit up Sunday in Minnesota. Through the first two weeks of the season, Schultz has produced a 5-37-0 receiving line on six targets while playing at least 70 percent of the offensive snaps in both contests. With top backup Brevin Jordan (knee) suffering a season-ending ACL tear in Week 2, Schultz could see a slight uptick in his snap count moving forward.
Schultz (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday. Schultz missed back-to-back practices last week before logging a full session Friday and avoiding a Week 2 injury designation. In the Texans' subsequent win over the Bears, Schultz caught two of his three targets for 21 yards while logging a 71 percent snap share. With no reported setbacks in that contest, it's plausible that Schultz's listed limitations Wednesday were simply load management ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Schultz caught two of three targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 19-13 win over Chicago in Week 2. Schultz dealt with a minor ankle injury that forced him to miss two practices this week, but he was ready to go Sunday. The tight end has five catches on six targets for 37 yards through two games. Schultz had five more targets after two weeks in 2023, which suggests the addition of wide receiver Stefon Diggs is cutting into his opportunities.
