Who Should I Start? Jimmy Graham or Greg Dulcich

Tuesday, August 29, 11:58 PM

New Orleans Saints veteran tight end Jimmy Graham made the team's final 53-man roster heading into the 2023 regular season. The five-time Pro Bowl looked washed up in his last NFL season in 2021 with the Chicago Bears, when he had a career-low 14 receptions for 167 yards and three touchdowns on 23 targets in 15 games (six starts). The 36-year-old was a long shot to make an NFL comeback with his former team, especially after he had a medical episode on Aug. 19. Against all odds, though, Graham has impressed the coaching staff in recent weeks and caught three passes for 34 yards and a touchdown in the preseason finale last weekend. It's a cool story for Graham with the team he began his career with, but he'll have zero fantasy appeal while buried on the TE depth chart behind Juwan Johnson, Foster Moreau and Taysom Hill.

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.
