Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) is active for today’s game vs. the Commanders. He was limited in practice all week, but it’s uncertain if he’s ready for his usual role in this one. Schultz is just a TE2 today.
NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) is expected to play Sunday against the Commanders. He's officially questionable after missing last week with a PCL issue. Schultz still carries some risk for fantasy football lineups.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. He was limited in practice all week. It sounds like Schultz is on track to return for this one. But between the injury and continued absence of QB Dak Prescott, Schultz would be a shaky TE1 play.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) was limited in Wednesday's practice. He seemed semi-close to playing this past Monday night, so we think there's a chance he's back for this weekend's game vs. Washington. Check back tomorrow for another update.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) is inactive for tonight's game vs. the Giants. That leaves Dallas with TEs Jake Ferguson and Peyton Hendershot. Ferguson has run 12 pass routes to Hendershot's 6 so far this season.
NFL Network's Tom Pelissero calls Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) "unlikely" to play vs. the Giants tonight. He'll work out pre-game before a final decision is made, though. Dealing with a PCL injury, Schultz would be a risky fantasy play even if he ends up active.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) is questionable for Monday night’s game against the Giants. The late kickoff and nature of the injury mean you shouldn’t wait for Schultz in Week 3 fantasy football lineups. Rookie Jake Ferguson would likely be the primary TE if Schultz sits
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz (knee) remained sidelined on Friday. HC Mike McCarthy suggested earlier this week that Schultz's status for Monday night's game vs. the Giants wouldn't be determined until Sunday. But we'll see how Schultz is listed on the final injury report tomorrow.
Cowboys HC Mike McCarthy said Thursday that TE Dalton Schultz (knee) “is on an incline” in his recovery. "If he gets through Sunday clean, then we’ll have a chance” to play vs. the Giants on Monday night, McCarthy added. We'll continue to keep an eye on Schultz's progress, but the Monday kickoff could put fantasy owners in a tough spot.
ESPN's Todd Archer reports that Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz has a PCL "issue" in his right knee. "Unclear if Schultz could miss time at this point," Archer adds. Guess we'll see about the severity and Schultz's status for Week 3. Dallas "unofficially" lists rookie Jake Ferguson as Schultz's backup.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz received good news from Monday's MRI on his right knee, according to insider Michael Gehlken. "Damage to right knee could have been more substantial, and he's expected to avoid a significant absence," Gehlken tweeted. It's good news, although it still sounds like Schultz could miss games. We'll monitor his status this week.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz suffered a right knee injury in Sunday's win over the Bengals. There's no concern about the ACL, according to The Dallas Morning News' Michael Gehlken, but Schultz is scheduled for a Monday MRI. We should learn more over the next 24 hours. Fourth-round rookie Jake Ferguson is Dallas' #2 TE.
WR CeeDee Lamb, TE Dalton Schultz and WR Noah Brown easily led Cowboys pass-catchers in playing time in Sunday night's loss to the Buccaneers. Schultz played the most snaps of any offensive skill players for the game (100%). Lamb trailed him by just 2 snaps while leading the team in routes (97.8%). Brown played just 7 fewer snaps than Lamb and trailed him by a mere 6 routes. Dennis Houston checked in 3rd among Dallas WRs at 40 snaps (58%) and 30 routes run (65.2%). Of course, the whole offense will be challenged to produce worthwhile fantasy numbers while Dak Prescott is out.
Cowboys QB Dak Prescott is expected to miss 6-8 weeks with his thumb injury, ESPN's Todd Archer reports. Prescott is meeting with a hand specialist on Monday, but the expectation is that he'll need a pin and plate inserted to stabilize his fractured joint. The short end of that 6-8 week timetable would have Prescott back for Week 8. But Dallas has a Week 9 bye, so Week 10 might be the most likely return date for Dak. His absence is obviously a big blow to all of the Cowboys' skill-position players. Prescott is cuttable in fantasy leagues without an IR spot.
The Cowboys and TE Dalton Schultz failed to agree on a longer-term extension before Friday's 4 p.m. deadline. That means Schultz will play out this season on the franchise tender. It shouldn't mean any alteration to Schultz's fantasy football outlook, though that could change if he holds out for any portion of training camp. Schultz has been going right at or a little ahead of where he belongs relative to other TEs in recent fantasy football drafts.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz will report to the start of mandatory minicamp on Tuesday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Schultz skipped last week's OTAs as he angles for a long-term deal. He's currently scheduled to play 2022 on the franchise tag. "No deal imminent, but contract talks have picked up in recent days," Pelissero tweeted. We'll continue to keep an eye on the situation, but it doesn't look like there's holdout risk with Schultz.
Cowboys TE Dalton Schultz is skipping the rest of voluntary OTAs over frustration with contract negotiations, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Schultz has already signed his franchise tender, which locks him in for the coming season. The 2 sides have until July 15 to agree on a longer-term deal. If that doesn't happen by the deadline, Schultz will play out the 1-year deal and hit the open market again next March. The fact that he has already signed the tender should keep any contract impasse from impacting Schultz's availability for 2022.
According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Cowboys are expected to apply the franchise tag to TE Dalton Schultz today. Dallas is up against the salary cap, so the team would surely prefer to knock out a longer-term deal with Schultz. For fantasy football purposes, draft as though Schultz will remain a Cowboy at least through 2022. He could find himself in an even better situation for target volume than last year, with WR Amari Cooper expected to leave and WR Michael Gallup coming off an ACL tear.
The Dallas Morning News' Michael Gehlken believes the Cowboys' starters are "unlikely to see [their] usual workload" vs. the Eagles tonight. Dallas has little to play for with the NFC East already clinched. QB Dak Prescott, RB Ezekiel Elliott, WR CeeDee Lamb, WR Amari Cooper and TE Dalton Schultz are all risky fantasy plays.
