The Texans are visiting the Steelers for a Wild Card matchup on Monday night. On DraftKings Sportsbook, Houston is favored by three points and the game carries a total of 38.5 points.

Below, I have featured my favorite Dalton Schultz prop to consider from this contest.

Best Dalton Schultz Prop Bets on DraftKings Sportsbook

Dalton Schultz O 41.5 Receiving Yards

Schultz has benefited greatly with C.J. Stroud back under center. The quarterback returned in Week 13 from a three-game absence due to a concussion, and with Stroud starting for the last six games, Schultz is averaging 46.7 receiving yards per game. He has cleared 41.5 receiving yards in three of these six contests.

During this stretch, Schultz is leading the Texans with an 85% route rate and is seeing a target on 20% of his routes. Additionally, Schultz is averaging a solid 1.71 yards per route run. The tight end now meets a Steelers defense that is giving up the fourth-most catches (106) and fourth-most receiving yards to tight ends this season (1,121).

Pittsburgh has been getting shredded through the air recently, allowing the fifth-most yards per pass over the last four weeks (8.5). Schultz should have a strong showing in this spot against a defensive unit that’s struggled against his position in particular.
