Who Should I Start? Josh Oliver or Greg Dulcich

Sunday, October 5, 2:08 PM

Minnesota Vikings tight end Josh Oliver scored a touchdown for the second time in three weeks, finishing with two catches for 35 yards and a touchdown in the Vikings' 21-17 victory against Cleveland. The blocking-focused tight end was the secret weapon on a trick play, leaking through the Browns' defense with backup running back Cam Akers in a Wildcat look, which led to a 32-yard scoring connection for the Vikings' first touchdown. Oliver nearly had a second score, but was tackled inside the five on his only other catch. He remains an unpredictable, touchdown-dependent play, but deserves some roster consideration in deeper formats.

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.
