Dalton Schultz vs Jonathan Taylor: Who Should You Start?

Comparing Dalton Schultz (TE, Houston Texans) against Jonathan Taylor (RB, Indianapolis Colts) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Dalton Schultz averaged 8.0 PPG in 2025 over 17 games, while Jonathan Taylor posted 20.0 PPG across 17 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.

The Bottom Line

The 2025 numbers favor Jonathan Taylor at 20.0 PPG, 12.0 points per game above Dalton Schultz's 8.0. But season stats only tell part of the story. DraftCall's AI factors in weekly matchup, recent form, and injury status to give you a verdict that updates with the latest data.
