Greg Dulcich Poised for 2026 Breakout with Expanded Role in Miami?

Wednesday, September 2, 12:39 PM

Entering 2026, Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich could be poised for a breakout season. A third-round pick back in 2022 by the Denver Broncos, persistent injury issues kept Dulcich from carving out a consistent role in Denver. He entered 2025 on the Dolphins' practice squad, but he was promoted to the active roster mid-season and finished the year with 26 catches for 335 yards and a touchdown on 33 targets across 10 games (three starts). Entering 2026, Dulcich looks like the clear TE1 in Miami, at least to start the season. The Dolphins are in obvious need of pass-catching talent to emerge, as the team's wide receiver corps consists of a combination of underwhelming veterans and unproven rookies. If Dulcich can stay healthy, he could emerge as a safety blanket for new Dolphins quarterback Malik Willis. As a late-round sleeper, Dulcich could be worth targeting at the end of fantasy drafts.

Chig Okonkwo Has an Opportunity to Break Out in 2026

Tuesday, August 25, 8:38 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo should benefit from a change of scenery ahead of the 2026 season. The Maryland product spent the last four seasons in Tennessee, finishing each of the four years between TE21 and TE25 in PPR leagues. That level of consistency became the norm for Okonkwo in Tennessee, but it never resulted in a true breakout. Instead, he was frequently a mid-range TE2 in fantasy football, with his best stats coming in 2025 when he caught 56 passes for 560 yards and two touchdowns. We could be looking at a similar situation to when Washington brought in veteran Zach Ertz, fueling his career resurgence. Ertz was the overall TE7 with 654 yards and seven touchdowns as the Commanders' primary tight end in 2024, and while Okonkwo's leap might not be quite that large, he still has clear top-12 upside in fantasy football, especially if quarterback Jayden Daniels can stay healthy for a full season. He's a very appealing late-round target for fantasy managers who want to roster two tight ends in 2026.
