Who Should I Start? Greg Dulcich or Payne Durham

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich just joined the Dolphins a few weeks ago and didn't have a catch until Week 9, but he could be the team's top tight end in Week 10 against the Bills. Darren Waller (pec) is on IR, Julian Hill (ankle) is questionable after missing Week 8, and Tanner Conner was waived on Thursday. Hill and Dulcich will likely split the workload, since it wouldn't make sense to release Conner if Hill wasn't ready to get back into action. Dulcich could be the top pass-catching tight end, though, since he made a strong impression with five catches on five targets last week against the Ravens for 49 yards. Since the Dolphins are desperate for pass-catching playmakers, Dulcich should stay involved against the Bills. He's only the No. 32 TE this week, so he's a very high-risk flier, but he does have some upside and a clear path to some playing time against Buffalo, which has been very good against tight ends overall this season.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Payne Durham could potentially see a larger role in the offense to begin the regular season. The Bucs are uncertain if starting tight end Cade Otton (leg) is going to be ready to play during the season opener. The team will likely wait and see how Otton progresses throughout next week before making a final decision. If he misses time, Payne Durham and Devin Culp figure to split up time as the starting tight end. Durham didn't see a ton of action last season, but played well when Otton missed time late in the season. When Otton was out, Durham hauled in nine receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns as the starter. There's not a lot of value here, but maybe Durham is a dart throw if Otton is unable to go in Week 1.
