Is Greg Dulcich a Realistic Breakout Target at Tight End?

Wednesday, July 15, 10:49 AM

The Athletic's Jim Ayello writes that Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich "looks like a name to watch for those targeting a late-round tight end." Nobody should be expecting him to catch 100 passes in Miami's new-look offense, but who else is quarterback Malik Willis going to throw to? The 26-year-old former third-round pick by the Denver Broncos in 2022 out of UCLA has been a trendy sleeper pick in fantasy before because of his pass-catching prowess, but he's never lived up to the preseason hype, primarily due to injuries. Willis won't have any trustworthy receivers to throw the ball to in his first year in South Beach, and with the Dolphins expected to be pretty bad overall in 2026, there should be plenty of positive game script for Willis to throw the ball late in games. Ayello adds that the Dolphins' new regime clearly likes Dulcich after paying him $3.25 million to stay in Miami. In just 10 games in his first year with the Dolphins, Dulcich racked up 26 catches for 335 yards and a TD on 33 targets, so he has some upside as a volume-based TE2 sleeper in fantasy in 2026.

Jake Ferguson Still Considered the Undisputed Starting TE in Dallas

Friday, July 10, 12:11 PM

Chris Amaya of the Express News writes that Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson "should be the undisputed starter at tight end" again in 2026, especially after he signed a four-year, $52 million extension with the team last year. Ferguson didn't provide Dallas with a ton of big plays down the middle of the field last year, but he finished with 82 receptions for 600 yards and eight touchdowns in 17 games (10 starts) to finish as the TE7 in half-PPR scoring. The 27-year-old has a safe floor in fantasy in one of the most pass-happy offenses in the NFL, but his average depth of catch has dropped from 10.7 yards in 2023 to 7.3 yards per reception last season. It's also a bit concerning that his involvement dropped down the stretch in 2025. Ferguson has plenty of talent, but the target competition with one of the best WR duos in the league of CeeDee Lamb and George Pickens is real. He's a two-time All-Star, but you'll need to remember that he didn't have a single touchdown grab in 14 starts in 2024, so TD regression should be expected. RotoBaller has Ferguson ranked as the No. 13 fantasy TE for the 2026 season.
