Dalton Schultz vs Evan Engram: Who Should You Start?
If you are choosing between Dalton Schultz and Evan Engram for your lineup, you are not alone. Dalton Schultz finished the 2025 season at 8.0 PPG for the Houston Texans (17 games), and Evan Engram averaged 4.9 for the Denver Broncos (16 games).
That 3.1-point weekly advantage for Dalton Schultz is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.
Dalton Schultz is the volume tight end in this matchup with 82 receptions for 777 yards, while Evan Engram profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (1 scores on 50 catches). In weeks where Evan Engram finds the end zone he out-scores Dalton Schultz, but the floor gap is real.
Both share a Week 14 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking tight ends this deep on your bench, plan your replacement tight end early.
