Who Should I Start? Greg Dulcich or Sam LaPorta

Saturday, September 16, 7:18 PM

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) was placed on the injured reserve list on Saturday. He's battling a hamstring issue and was already ruled out for Sunday's game against the Washington Commanders. However, it appears the injury is worse than anticipated, meaning Adam Trautman is the favorite to fill the void in the lineup. The 26-year-old finished the Week 1 loss to the Raiders by catching all five targets for 34 yards. While that wasn't the most impressive fantasy showing, it shows Trautman might be involved moving forward, meaning he's worth an add by desperate fantasy managers.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught four of his five targets for 56 yards in the Thursday Night Football win over the Green Bay Packers. It wasn't a massive boom performance for the rookie tight end, but it should keep fantasy managers in PPR leagues afloat ahead of the full Week 4 slate. LaPorta has seen at least five targets in all of his contests, which is more than can be said about a large chunk of the available tight ends on the waiver wire. He is a must-start in all matchups after being the fantasy TE2 through the first three weeks of the season.
