Who Should I Start? Tyler Conklin or Greg Dulcich

Former New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Conklin heads to the AFC West after spending the last three years with the Jets, where he had 170 catches on 246 targets for 1,622 yards and seven touchdowns in 50 games (43 starts). While the 29-year-old did have a career-high four touchdowns in 16 games (15 starts) last year, he had just 51 catches and 449 yards (his lowest total since 2020) on 72 targets. The former fifth-round selection (157th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 out of Central Michigan has the opportunity to be the Chargers' top pass-catching tight end in 2025, but he'll also be sharing playing time with Will Dissly. Dissly had a very similar 50-481-2 line to Conklin a year ago in L.A. Expect Conklin to be a touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy in his new home.

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.
