Fantasy Tiers

Dalton Schultz: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #18 at the position). Garrett Wilson: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #16 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR in most league formats.

Dalton Schultz vs Garrett Wilson: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Dalton Schultz (TE, Houston Texans) against Garrett Wilson (WR, New York Jets) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Dalton Schultz averaged 8.0 PPG in 2025 over 17 games, while Garrett Wilson posted 11.6 PPG across 7 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Dalton Schultz has his bye in Week 8, Garrett Wilson in Week 13. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Stable dynasty value. Garrett Wilson (age 25) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
