If Schultz Misses Time

Next man up: Foster Moreau

Foster Moreau is next on the Texans depth chart at tight end. Tight end targets would mostly move to the receivers, so he's a streaming option at best if Schultz misses time.

Who else it affects

His absence would move work to the rest of the offense, and C.J. Stroud would lose one of his main options.
