Dalton Schultz (TE, DAL) - Fantasy Football Week 5 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in All Leagues

OWNED IN: 33% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: There is no reason--not a single one, seriously--not to add Dallas Cowboys' tight end, Dalton Schultz, to your roster. I mean, obviously, if you already have one of the stud-TE such as Travis Kelce or Darren Waller you will probably have between zero and no interest at all in waisting a slot on a bench player, but if you've been streaming the position so far or just have someone underperforming, Schultz is most definitely turning into a set-it-and-forget-it option and is still available in two of each three Yahoo leagues out there. Bargain.

Barring his atrocious W2 outing (3.8 PPR points), Schultz has been a fantastic play at the TE position (and even in that Week 2 matchup he finished 2-for-2 for 18 yards). Schultz has finished as a TE2 once (10.5 PPR points in Week 1, 6-for-6 for 45 yards) and has now put up back-to-back TE1 scores of 26 (!) PPR points and 17.8 against Carolina just yesterday. Schultz went on to score two and one TDs respectively in the past two games while finishing 6-of-7 and 6-of-8 receiving Dak Prescott's targets. The yards sky-rocketed to 80 and 58 compared to the 45- and 18-yard outcomes of the first couple of weeks.

Schultz is playing more than 68% of the offensive snaps, and he promisingly logged his season-high mark at that playing 48 snaps for a healthy 80% snap share against Carolina in W4. Schultz is currently the TE3 of the 2021 fantasy season only below Rob Gronkowski (0.3 PPR-point distance) and Travis Kelce (73.2 total FP). The targets are already at 23, the catch rate is as high as it gets at 87%, and Schultz is one of only six TEs with 200+ receiving yards already. Don't hesitate for a minute and rush to your WW to grab some shares of this man.
