Dalton Schultz vs Juwan Johnson: Who Should You Start?
Dalton Schultz (8.0 PPG) and Juwan Johnson (8.3 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two tight ends are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Dalton Schultz played 17 games for the Houston Texans; Juwan Johnson suited up 17 times for the New Orleans Saints.
A 0.3-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.
Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Dalton Schultz had 82 catches for 777 yards; Juwan Johnson posted 77 for 889. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.
Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Dalton Schultz sits Week 14 while Juwan Johnson is off Week 12. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.
