Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has experienced a fluctuating season, especially noted during his games against the Buffalo Bills. After a challenging start to the season, Schultz began to gain momentum from Week 5, consistently putting up strong performances.
Dalton Schultz’s Performance Since Week 5
Since Week 5, Schultz has recorded at least 51 receiving yards in nearly every game, with three performances exceeding 60 yards. However, his ability to reach the end zone has been a notable issue, making it difficult for him to capitalize on his yardage gains.
Matchup Against the Buffalo Bills
In Week 12, Schultz faced difficulties early on against the Bills. Despite being active during the game, he struggled to make an impact and was held without receptions through the first two drives.
- First Drive: Quarterback Davis Mills did not target Schultz, completing a pass to another player.
- Second Drive: Schultz received only one target, which he was unable to catch.
- Fourth Drive: He had a chance for a touchdown but missed out due to a less than perfect throw.
As the game progressed, Schultz finally made a connection with a short eight-yard catch, marking his first statistics of the night. Yet, he remained limited in targets, highlighting the need for better integration into the game plan.
Looking Ahead
Although Schultz has faced challenges, his previous performances suggest he is likely to make a more significant impact in future games. With consistent targets, he could become a key player for the Texans moving forward, especially as they aim to improve their offensive strategy.
Fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see how Dalton Schultz adjusts and contributes as the season continues.
