Who Should I Start? Greg Dulcich or Shane Zylstra

Saturday, October 25, 9:00 AM

Miami Dolphins tight end Greg Dulcich was just signed to the active roster on Wednesday, but he could step into an involved role after Darren Waller (pec) landed on IR and Julian Hill (ankle) was also ruled out for Week 8. Tanner Conner is the other tight end on the roster, but has typically split time with Hill, never carrying the main workload by himself. Dulcich could work into the rotation as early as this week, and he does have a little upside since the Dolphins' passing game has been desperately looking for answers due to the injury to Tyreek Hill (knee) and the ongoing struggles of Tua Tagovailoa. Dulcich was a third-round pick in 2022 out of UCLA and spent three years with the Broncos before this season. He totaled 41 catches for 464 yards in his 16 games, and both his NFL touchdowns came in his rookie year. He is an extremely high-risk option this week since his role is completely uncertain, but he looks in position to get his first action of the year, so he's worth keeping an eye on.

Detroit Lions tight end Shane Zylstra (ankle) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of his team's Week 2 contest against the Chicago Bears. Zylstra is the Lions' third-string tight end behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright. His absence may mean a slight uptick in snaps for the remainder of Week 2 for LaPorta.
