Dalton Schultz vs Juwan Johnson
Juwan Johnson holds a 14.3% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/17/2026
THE CASE FOR SCHULTZ
Schultz has the cleaner weekly floor: he’s a proven volume earner over multiple seasons and profiles as a stable TE1/TE2 for contenders. Houston’s offense is good enough to keep him usable even when he’s not scoring, and he’s less dependent on TD variance than most mid-tier TEs. If you’re trying to avoid lineup landmines, Schultz is the safer bet to give you catch-and-yardage points consistently.
THE CASE FOR JOHNSON
Juwan Johnson’s path to impact is TD-driven, but he’s shown he can be a red-zone weapon and spike weeks matter at TE. His cost is typically cheaper in trade markets, so you can pair him with a pick upgrade elsewhere and still get startable TE production. If you’re hunting for ceiling outcomes and don’t mind volatility, Johnson can be the better points-per-dollar swing.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Schultz for contenders due to the steadier target floor and fewer zero-ish weeks.
Johnson for rebuilders if you can extract extra value in the deal, since neither is a long-term cornerstone and Schultz’s profile fits “sell for insulation” better.
Yes—this is close, but I’d still lean Schultz straight up; only take Johnson if you’re getting a small add.

FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Schultz is worth slightly more in most leagues because his weekly role is more bankable, despite the small market gap shown.
Trade?
If you have Schultz, move him for Johnson plus a small sweetener (late 2nd/early 3rd value equivalent); if it’s 1-for-1, I’d keep Schultz.
Superflex?
Superflex doesn’t materially change the TE-to-TE comparison here—treat it as a role/floor vs TD-ceiling decision.
