Dallas Goedert vs Dalton Schultz

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Dallas Goedert is the better fantasy play this season.

Dallas Goedert has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 2.3-PPG advantage is real (10.3 to 8.0), and Dallas Goedert's 11 touchdowns show scoring upside. Dalton Schultz is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Dalton Schultz: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #18 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Dallas Goedert is producing at 47% of elite pace and Dalton Schultz at 36%. That ranking gap means Dallas Goedert carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Dallas Goedert vs Dalton Schultz: Who Should You Start?

Dallas Goedert and Dalton Schultz are both viable fantasy tight ends heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Dallas Goedert averaged 10.3 PPG across 15 games with the Philadelphia Eagles, while Dalton Schultz posted 8.0 PPG in 17 appearances for the Houston Texans.

A 2.3-PPG gap gives Dallas Goedert the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Dalton Schultz is the volume tight end in this matchup with 82 receptions for 777 yards, while Dallas Goedert profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (11 scores on 60 catches). In weeks where Dallas Goedert finds the end zone he out-scores Dalton Schultz, but the floor gap is real.

Dallas Goedert has his bye in Week 9, and Dalton Schultz rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Dalton Schultz (age 29) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
