TE · Dallas · 2026 outlook
Luke Schoonmaker is Dallas's backup tight end, a blocking-first player with a real 2025 snap count. He never turned those snaps into consistent passing-game volume.
How is Luke Schoonmaker doing in fantasy this year? This is gamedai's editorial 2026 projection for Luke Schoonmaker, not measured production. See the full breakdown below.
Schoonmaker's 2025 season was defined by a modest role. He played 14 games and 32.9 percent of Dallas's offensive snaps, mostly as an in-line blocker on early downs. When he did see the ball, the efficiency was unremarkable: 14 catches on 23 targets, a 60.9 percent catch rate, for 132 yards and no touchdowns. An average depth of target near 7 yards shows he's not just a check-down option, but a 3.8 percent target share means the passing game essentially treats him as an afterthought behind Dallas's other pass catchers.
There isn't a clear path to more targets in 2026 without an injury ahead of him on the depth chart. He remains valuable to Dallas as a blocker in the run game, which is exactly the kind of role that keeps a tight end on an NFL roster without making him fantasy-relevant. He matters only if Dallas's tight end room thins out; in a normal-sized league he stays on the wire. The floor here is close to zero weekly fantasy production, and the ceiling requires an opportunity that hasn't shown up yet.
Not in a standard-sized league. He played a real snap share for Dallas in 2025 (32.9 percent) but produced only 132 receiving yards and no touchdowns across 14 games. Unless the depth chart changes, treat him as a deep-league or injury-only stash.
He's primarily an in-line blocking tight end. His 2025 usage, 23 targets across 14 games and a 3.8 percent target share, shows Dallas leans on him for run-blocking snaps far more than as a route runner.
No. He caught 14 of 23 targets for 132 yards in 2025, a 60.9 percent catch rate on limited volume. That's a low-target complementary role, not a receiving tight end profile.
In most formats, no. His route diet and target share are too thin to project consistent points, and there's no signal from 2025 that his role expands in 2026 without an injury ahead of him.
