Cole Kmet's Role Could Shrink Further in 2026

Tuesday, August 11, 7:12 PM

Chicago Bears tight end Cole Kmet enters the 2026 season with an uncertain workload. Last season, Kmet recorded 30 receptions for 347 yards and two touchdowns in 16 games, marking his worst stat line since his 2020 rookie season. The addition of 2025 first-round pick Colston Loveland significantly reduced Kmet's usual workload, dropping his snap share from 88% to 70% in 2025. Loveland's addition hurts Kmet's fantasy outlook, and the addition of third-round rookie Sam Roush could also take Kmet off the field this season. Roush is a willing blocking tight end who, after being drafted, said he "loves getting in the trenches and getting dirty." While Kmet could be a trade candidate during the season, which could help his fantasy value, he may be stuck outside the Top 50 at the position in 2026 if Roush starts the season strong.

Greg Dulcich Worth Another Look in Redraft

Saturday, August 22, 10:21 AM

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich has enough going his way to be worth another look in redraft leagues. He was quiet for most of 2025, then finally found something late. Over Miami's last five games, Dulcich caught 16 of 18 targets for 222 yards and a touchdown. The Dolphins brought him back in March, and he entered camp leading a rebuilt tight end room. There is more room for targets now, too. Tyreek Hill was released in February and Jaylen Waddle was traded to Denver a month later, leaving Miami without either of its top veteran wideouts from last season. Dulcich has stayed involved with Malik Willis, including a 30-yard completion during practice on August 17. It is not a completely clean setup. Miami used a third-round pick on Will Kacmarek, and Dulcich has never played more than 10 games in an NFL season. Still, the late-2025 production was real and the path to touches is better than it was a year ago. RotoBaller has Dulcich at TE26 and 211th overall in its latest PPR rankings. If you wait on tight end, he is at least worth a swing that late.
