DraftCall Analytics

Start Rhamondre Stevenson over Dalton Schultz in 2026.

Rhamondre Stevenson averaged 11.6 PPG in 2025 to Dalton Schultz's 8.0, a 3.6 point per game edge. Stevenson posted that edge in only 14 games, so the per-game ceiling is real but watch his availability. Rhamondre Stevenson is Tier 5 among running backs, Dalton Schultz is Tier 2 among tight ends.

The Bottom Line

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, Rhamondre Stevenson (11.6 PPG) is the higher-floor play. Dalton Schultz (8.0 PPG) could win a specific week on touchdown variance. For FLEX spots, lean toward the player with the softer defensive matchup that week rather than defaulting to season averages.

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

Fantasy Tiers

Dalton Schultz: Tier 2 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #18 at the position). Rhamondre Stevenson: Tier 5 (Flex/Starter) RB (ranked #22 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 2 (Flex/Starter) TE is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 5 (Flex/Starter) RB in most league formats.

Dalton Schultz vs Rhamondre Stevenson: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Dalton Schultz (TE, Houston Texans) against Rhamondre Stevenson (RB, New England Patriots) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Dalton Schultz averaged 8.0 PPG in 2025 over 17 games, while Rhamondre Stevenson posted 11.6 PPG across 14 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Dalton Schultz has his bye in Week 8, Rhamondre Stevenson in Week 11. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Rhamondre Stevenson at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Dalton Schultz is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Dalton Schultz (age 30) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Rhamondre Stevenson (age 28, 4 years) is past the typical RB peak. Redraft value exceeds dynasty value.
