Who Should I Start? Greg Dulcich or Colson Yankoff

Tuesday, August 26, 10:47 AM

According to Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the New York Giants are cutting tight end Greg Dulcich. This is a surprising movie, as the veteran tight end enjoyed a productive preseason. In their preseason finale, the 25-year-old found the back of the end zone twice and tallied 26 yards. However, Dulcich was unable to earn a spot on the final roster. The former third-round pick from the 2022 NFL Draft began his NFL career with the Broncos. With the Broncos, Dulcich enjoyed a productive rookie season, totaling 411 yards, but would only catch eight passes in his following two seasons. In 2024, Dulcich appeared in five games for the Giants but never caught a pass. Given his productive preseason, Dulcich could draw some interest in the free agent market as a depth tight end. However, given his lack of regular-season production, fantasy managers should leave him off draft boards.

Washington Commanders tight end Colson Yankoff finished with two targets and one reception for 52 yards in Washington's final preseason game against the Ravens. Yankoff had a spectacular catch and run as he hauled in a pass up the seam, bounced off a defensive back, and showcased his speed with a 35-yard sprint after the catch. The 2024 undrafted free agent from UCLA is an exceptional athlete with a 9.56 Relative Athletic Score out of a possible 10. He's drawn consistent positive reviews out of Washington training camp for his versatility and impact on special teams. The team's top three tight ends are pretty set with Zach Ertz, John Bates, and Ben Sinnott, but signs point to Yankoff being kept as a fourth as well. If Ertz were to miss any time, Yankoff could be one to see opportunity in the receiving tight end role if Sinnott hasn't earned it.
