It’s now clear after missing an entire week of practice, and being declared out for week 13, that Dalton Schultz picked up a Hamstring injury in the Texans’ week 12 loss to the Jaguars. Week 12 marked the lowest snap share of the season for Schultz, who had been heating up in weeks prior and was clearly establishing himself as a safety blanket for rookie QB C.J. Stroud.

Hamstring injuries can be tricky and typically require a multi-week recovery process. Fantasy managers rostering Schultz should make replacement plans for the foreseeable future. Brevin Jordan is expected to be the next man up with Schultz out, but shouldn’t be on fantasy radars at this time. The Texans offense as whole will be negatively impacted by missing Schultz, who is top 20 in the AFC in first down receptions on third down.
