Dalton Schultz could be aiming higher

Schultz could see a higher number of targets than usual in Sunday night’s game against the Lions, with Houston’s top two wideouts questionable for Week 10.

Schultz was a forgotten part of the passing offense early in the season, but injuries have plagued the wideout group since Week 1. Stefon Diggs (knee) is out for the season, Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) was scheduled to return from IR but had limited practice Friday and is questionable, and Tank Dell (back) appeared on the injury report Friday and is questionable. Schultz is averaging five goals per game this season and has faced at least six throws in four of the last five weeks, coinciding with the time the wide receivers have been affected by injuries. After scoring five touchdowns in his first season in Houston, Schultz is still hoping for his first score in 2024.
