"After spending all of 2023 on the practice squad, the Rams brought Smith on to serve as a return specialist, and he accrued a total of 333 yards in the role. Smith is under contract with the Rams for one more season, and with Demarcus Robinson, Tutu Atwell and Tyler Johnson all unrestricted free agents, a more expanded role may be in the cards for Smith in 2025."

"Schultz is eyeing a rebound in 2025 after he followed up four consecutive top-12 fantasy campaigns with a 20th-place finish (28th in PPG) in 2024. Schultz posted a productive 59-635-5 receiving line in 15 games in 2023 (his first season in Houston), but saw his usage dip last season despite ranking fourth among tight ends in pass routes. He became a nonfactor near the goal line, totaling two end zone targets and two TDs, both of which are his fewest since taking on a regular offensive role in 2020. His history suggests a return to the fringe-TE1 mix is possible, and he could see a slight boost in targets with Christian Kirk and a pair of rookies set to replace Stefon Diggs (free agency) and Tank Dell (knee), but he also could lose work to second-year TE Cade Stover. Schultz doesn't have much late-round appeal."

"Schultz missed a handful of days earlier in OTAs due to an apparent leg injury, but he already appears to be over the issue. Now heading into his third year working with C.J. Stroud (pectoral), Schultz is competing for targets in a crowded pass-catching corps led by Nico Collins. Houston acquired veteran slot receiver Christian Kirk via a trade with Jacksonville this offseason, then added wideouts Jayden Higgins in the second round of the 2025 Draft and Jaylin Noel in the third round. Schultz remains entrenched as the starting tight end, but his ceiling is capped as either the third or fourth option in Houston's passing game."
