On the heels of a 78-808-8 effort in 2021, the Dallas Cowboys placed the franchise tag on Dalton Schultz, who looked to be emerging as a top-tier, pass-catching tight end. Schultz reportedly spurned a three-year extension and played out the tag, hauling in 57 passes for 577 yards and five TDs over 15 appearances last season. He then ended up settling for a one-year deal with the Houston Texans in March.
Schultz’s departure creates a camp battle between a pair of returning options in Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot, and rookie Luke Schoonmaker. Let’s look at all three players to see which one(s), if any, deserve fantasy consideration.
