Who Should I Start? Greg Dulcich or Elijah Higgins

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich split snaps with Julian Hill in the team's last game in Week 11, but he could play a smaller role in Week 13 against the Saints. Darren Waller (pec) is questionable and could return from IR, forcing Dulich into an uninvolved role off the bench. Dulich was brought in to provide some pass-catching at the position while Waller was out, and he hauled in eight catches on 13 targets over the last three games, producing a total of 89 receiving yards and no touchdowns. If Waller comes back, Dulcich is not a strong play in any format, since he is unlikely to get significant work. If Waller needs another week before being activated, Dulich would be a low-end TE2 while getting time along with Hill in a favorable matchup against the Saints.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Elijah Higgins has seen an increased role on offense over the last few weeks. Over the last two games, Higgins has hauled in five of his six targets for 49 yards. Despite that, he remains the backup to Trey McBride, who is one of the best tight ends in the league. It's possible that Higgins does see a slightly larger workload with Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) out in Week 11. Normally, Higgins has been playing about 40 percent of the offensive snaps. There's a chance that does increase, but probably not by too much. Higgins is a desperation deep league option for the Week 11 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.
