Fantasy Football Player Notes

2026 Half PPR Draft Rankings

Brock Bowers Note
Brock Bowers photo 1. Brock Bowers LV (at KC)
There are great expectations for Brock Bowers in his third NFL season following an injury-plagued Year 2. Bowers had five catches for 103 yards in the Raiders' 2025 season opener against the Patriots, but he sustained a PCL injury and bone bruise to his left knee in that game, was clearly hampered over his next three games (with under 50 receiving yards in each) and was shut down for three games. Upon his return, Bowers scored seven touchdowns in eight games before the Raiders, looking to protect their star TE and also secure the No. 1 pick in the draft, placed Bowers on injured reserve, keeping him out of their last two contests. Widely considered one of the best TE prospects to ever enter the league, Bowers had 112 catches for 1,194 yards and five touchdowns on 153 targets as a rookie. With better health in 2026, he has a chance to match or exceed his rookie numbers. The Raiders are talent-starved at wide receiver, so Bowers is poised to be their alpha pass catcher. New head coach Klint Kubiak has been entrusted to repair the Las Vegas offense. No. 1 overall draft pick Fernando Mendoza offers hope at the QB position, and the Raiders also have TE-friendly QB Kirk Cousins, who was quarterbacking the Falcons last year in Week 15, when TE Kyle Pitts had 11 catches for 166 yards and three TDs. Bowers is worth a look in the back half of the second round or early in the third round of 12-team fantasy drafts.

Trey McBride Note
Trey McBride photo 2. Trey McBride ARI (vs . SF)
It will be hard for Trey McBride to top the year he had in 2025. He finished the season with 126 catches for 1,239 yards and 11 touchdowns on 169 targets. Among all pass catchers, McBride trailed only Puka Nacua in receptions. McBride also ranked third in targets among all pass catchers and tied for second in TD catches. It was an impressive follow-up to a 2024 season in which McBride had 111 catches for 1,146 yards and two touchdowns. There are reasons to think that McBride might have a hard time matching his 2025 numbers this season. The Cardinals threw at the highest rate in the NFL last season. That's not likely to happen again after the team drafted a running back, Jeremiyah Love, No. 3 overall. The Cardinals are also looking to get Marvin Harrison Jr. more involved after two disappointing seasons. McBride is clearly one of the elite tight ends and is worthy of a top-25 draft pick. Just don't expect a full repeat of last year.

Colston Loveland Note
Colston Loveland photo 3. Colston Loveland CHI (at MIN)
Colston Loveland finished the regular season top-5 among TEs in PFF receiving grade and yards per route run (1.97). From Week 7 onward...the Bears TE ranked top-5 in targets, catches and yards (26% target rate and TE4 in PPG at 11.1). Only Trey McBride had more receiving yards per game (61/game) compared to the Bears' TE.
The former Michigan product went NUCLEAR in the first round of the playoffs: Loveland recorded 8 receptions for 137 yards on 15 targets against the Packers, with the majority of his production coming when he created separation. Loveland generated 111 yards on 6 receptions (10 targets) when wide open (3+ yards of separation), while adding 94 yards on 4 receptions (6 targets) on vertical routes. The rookie tight end particularly excelled against zone coverage, where he hauled in all 8 of his receptions for 137 yards on 13 targets via Next Gen Stats.
Cole Kmet also has an out in his contract, so the team could move on from him to shift MORE focus toward Loveland. The Bears' offense did so over the team's last four games when Loveland commanded a whopping 28.5% target share (nearly 12 targets per game).

Tyler Warren Note
Tyler Warren photo 4. Tyler Warren IND (vs . JAC)
Tyler Warren's rookie season got off to a fast start, but his production slowed down markedly late in the season, leaving us with a challenging evaluation for 2026. Over his first 10 games of 2025, Warren averaged 5.0 catches, 61.7 receiving yards and 11.1 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, with four touchdowns. Over his last seven games, Warren averaged 3.7 catches, 28.6 receiving yards and 5.6 half-point PPR fantasy points per game, with one touchdown. The net result: 76 catches for 817 yards and four touchdowns (plus one TD run) and a TE5 fantasy finish. Daniel Jones' late-season injuries might partly account for Warren's late-season slowdown, and Jones' health status might still be an issue early in the 2026 season. But the Colts traded away WR Michael Pittman in the offseason and didn't make any significant pass-catching acquisitions in free agency or the draft, bolstering Warren's 2026 target outlook. Warren might not be one of the elite fantasy TEs in 2026, but he should still be one of the first five tight ends off the board in this year's drafts.

Tucker Kraft Note
Tucker Kraft photo 5. Tucker Kraft GB (vs . DET)
Tucker Kraft ranked as the TE1 through 8 weeks (14 PPG). TE2 in PPG. Lead all TEs in YAC/reception. Kraft was a 'my guy' the last two seasons, and all he did was deliver before he tore his ACL. But I wouldn't completely write off the 25-year-old freak athlete after the season-ending injury. Recall that Packers WR Christian Watson came back in 2025 after a very late ACL injury. He received an All-Pro vote. With no complications in Kraft's surgery, a 2026 Week 1 return isn't out of the question based on the 10-month recovery timeline.

Harold Fannin Jr. Note
Harold Fannin Jr. photo 6. Harold Fannin Jr. CLE (at CIN)
A third-round pick in last year's NFL Draft, Harold Fannin was surprisingly impactful as a rookie, racking up 72 catches for 731 yards and six touchdowns to finish TE6 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. Perhaps we shouldn't have been surprised by Fannin's first-year success. He had 117 catches for 1,555 yards in his final college season at Bowling Green, leading all FBS pass catchers in both categories. The Browns have an unappealing QB situation, and the arrival of rookie WRs KC Concepcion and Denzel Boston could cut into Fannin's target share. But the Browns' new head coach, Todd Monken, has historically been a very TE-friendly playcaller. Fannin should be regarded as a midrange TE1 in 2026 fantasy drafts.

Kyle Pitts Sr. Note
Kyle Pitts Sr. photo 7. Kyle Pitts Sr. ATL (at CAR)
Kyle Pitts entered the 2025 season with the reputation of being a perennial fantasy tease. The former No. 3 overall draft pick tried to rehabilitate his image with 88 catches for 928 yards and five touchdowns last year, good for a TE2 finish in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. Pitts scored three of his five touchdowns and had his only 100-yard game of the season in Week 15, when he erupted for 11 catches, 166 yards and three scores vs. the Buccaneers. It was Pitts' best season since his 1,026-yard rookie campaign in 2021. The Falcons don't have a lot of firepower at wide receiver beyond Drake London, so Pitts could very well be Atlanta's No. 2 target earner this season. And while the QB duo of Michael Penix and Tua Tagovailoa doesn't seem very appealing, it's worth remembering that Mike Gesicki and Jonnu Smith had the best fantasy seasons of their careers with Tua as their primary QB.

Sam LaPorta Note
Sam LaPorta photo 8. Sam LaPorta DET (at GB)
After finishing TE1 in fantasy scoring as a rookie in 2023, Sam LaPorta has been less productive the last two seasons, although he hasn't been *that* much less productive on a per-game basis, and injuries may partly explain the dip. LaPorta played through a sprained ankle early in the 2024 season and missed one game that November with a sprained AC joint in his shoulder. In 2025, he herniated a disc in his back in Week 10 and missed Detroit's last eight games. After scoring 10 touchdowns as a rookie, LaPorta had seven TDs in 2024 and three in 2025. But LaPorta hit career highs in catch rate (81.6%), yards per target (10.0) and yards per route run (2.00) last season, suggesting there has been no drop-off in his quality of play. But after averaging 7.1 targets per game as a rookie, LaPorta has averaged only 4.9 targets in his 27 regular-season games the last two years. Perhaps he'll see a target uptick under new Lions offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, who was calling the plays in Arizona the last three years while Cardinals TE Trey McBride blossomed into a superstar.
5 days ago
Travis Kelce Note
Travis Kelce photo 9. Travis Kelce KC (vs . LV)
Travis Kelce will turn 37 in October, but he's committed to playing at least one more season for the Chiefs. Kelce finished TE3 in fantasy scoring last season, catching 76 passes for 851 yards and five touchdowns. But the longtime fantasy star's efficiency has been plummeting. Kelce has averaged 8.6 yards per target for his career, but he's averaged just 6.9 YPT over the last two seasons. Kelce has averaged 2.05 yards per route run for his career, but he's been just under 1.50 YPRR each of the last two seasons. The Chiefs didn't add any significant pass catchers in the offseason, so Kelce still figures to be a prominent target earner in Andy Reid's offense. It's just a matter of how much he can do with those targets. The good news is that Kelce has become a budget option at the position and will probably be available in the middle rounds of fantasy drafts.

Dalton Kincaid Note
Dalton Kincaid photo 10. Dalton Kincaid BUF (vs . NYJ)
Dalton Kincaid's third season was plagued by more injuries, as he was reportedly playing through another torn PCL (second year in a row). But the Bills TE remained super-efficient despite lackluster usage/playing time (46% route participation and just three games with a greater than 50% snap share). He caught 80% of his passes for 682 yards and a career-high 7 TDs as the TE8 in fantasy PPG (9.6). His 2.7 YPRR led all TEs and ranked third among all receivers. His 27% target rate per route run also ranked first among TEs. If Kincaid can get healthy in 2026, he could leap into elite fantasy TE territory at a fraction of the cost.

George Kittle Note
George Kittle photo 11. George Kittle SF (at ARI)
George Kittle tore his right Achilles in the 49ers' Wild Card win over the Eagles on Jan. 11. Kittle says his goal is to play in the 49ers' 2026 season opener against the Rams in Australia, defying the typical recovery timeline for an Achilles tear. It's possible the 32-year-old Kittle misses time early in the season, and it's possible he won't offer the usual Kittle-level production upon his return. But there will be an injury discount on Kittle in 2026 fantasy drafts, and the possibility that he's back to peak form in time for the fantasy playoffs is appealing. Over the last four seasons, Kittle has averaged 4.6 catches, 63.4 yards and 0.5 touchdowns per game. Kittle has been remarkably efficient over his career, averaging 10.0 yards per catch and 2.27 yards per target - better career numbers than superstar WR Ja'Marr Chase in both categories.
5 days ago
Jake Ferguson Note
Jake Ferguson photo 12. Jake Ferguson DAL (at WAS)
Jake Ferguson averaged just 7.3 PPG when George Pickens and CeeDee Lamb were both healthy (> 50% snap share) in the lineup during the 2025 season (11 games). Five games without Lamb playing at least 50% of the snaps -> 13.5 PPG. Still, the overall production and career-high 8 TDs resulted in TE13 finishing in half-PPR scoring (per game). Top-5 in cumulative scoring in full PPR formats.
If George Pickens returns....Ferguson is facing a major uphill battle to rise above TD-or-bust TE territory. But if the impending FA cashes big elsewhere...the Dallas TE figures to be another strong option.

Dallas Goedert Note
Dallas Goedert photo 13. Dallas Goedert PHI (at NYG)
Dallas Goedert not only scored a career-high 11 touchdowns in 2025, but he more than doubled his previous single-season high. Goedert had never scored more than five touchdowns in any of his seven previous NFL seasons. Six of Goedert's TDs last year came on variations of shovel passes from the 5-yard line or closer, as the shovel pass to Goedert became a short-range alternative to the Eagles' "tush push" QB sneaks. Goedert also hit a career high with 60 receptions last season, although he averaged a career-low 9.9 yards per catch. The 31-year-old Goedert clearly has gas left in the tank. The question is whether the Eagles' new offensive coordinator, Sean Mannion, will feature Goedert near the goal line as much as departed Eagles OC Kevin Patullo did.

Isaiah Likely Note
Isaiah Likely photo 14. Isaiah Likely NYG (vs . PHI)
The Ravens opted to sign Mark Andrews for more years instead of extending Isaiah Likely in the final year of his rookie deal. Likely struggled with injuries to both himself and to his QB...that dramatically hurt his 2025 production (along with a few TDs that didn't actually result in TDs). Entering free agency and eventually signing with the New York Giants...Likely's stock is nowhere near where it was at this time last year. However, the upside we have seen from Likely when Andrews has missed time in the past - 11 PPG with no Andrews, the TE5 in PPG last year - warrants a shot on Likely if he carves out a clear TE1 role with John Harbaugh in NY.

Mark Andrews Note
Mark Andrews photo 15. Mark Andrews BAL (vs . PIT)
Is Mark Andrews poised for a bump in productivity now that TE Isaiah Likely has left the Ravens for the Giants, leaving Andrews as the only established pass-catching tight end on the Baltimore roster? Or is Andrews, who turns 31 on Sept. 6, simply out of gas? Andrews' production cratered last season. He had career lows in yards per game (24.8), yards per catch (8.8) and yards per target (6.0). Some of Andrews' problems were undoubtedly related to Lamar Jackson's 2025 health issues. The Ravens' starting QB missed four regular-season games and didn't appear to be fully healthy in others. If Jackson returns to form and Andrews sees a target increase in the absence of Likely, Andrews could offer midrange TE1 numbers at a low-end TE1/high-end TE2 price. Andrews has drawn 69 and 70 targets the last two seasons despite playing 17 regular-season games both years. He drew 153 targets in 2021 and 113 targets in 15 games in 2022.

Juwan Johnson Note
Juwan Johnson photo 16. Juwan Johnson NO (vs . TB)
Juwan Johnson finished 5th in catches (77) and third in yards (889) among TEs in 2025, but he only scored three TDs (TE15 in PPG). It wasn't always pretty (tied for league-high 7 drops per PFF), but the WR-TE convert made the most of his sheer volume. The Saints already paid him a decent chunk of change, and there's currently little competition in the receiver room outside of Chris Olave and former 7th-round pick DeVaughn Vele. Johnson was the TE9 in PPG after the team traded Rashid Shaheed (9.1) before the deadline (with Tyler Shough making all but one of those starts). With Shough from Week 10 onward, Johnson averaged over 61 receiving yards per game. However, they did also add Noah Fant in free agency, and they have been heavily connected to WRs in this year's draft class.

Oronde Gadsden II Note
Oronde Gadsden II photo 17. Oronde Gadsden II LAC (at DEN)
Oronde Gadsden had an exciting four-game run last year as a rookie with 24 catches for 377 yards and 2 TDs from Week 6 to Week 9. He was TE1 in fantasy scoring over that stretch. Despite some dazzling flashes, Gadsden's 2026 fantasy outlook is murky. The Chargers signed blocking TE Charlie Kolar in free agency and picked up former Browns TE David Njoku in May. The Chargers have also added fullback Alec Ingold, who was with new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel in Miami. With 49 catches for 664 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games as a rookie, Gadsden offers intriguing fantasy upside. But with two other quality tight ends on the roster, Gadsden should be no more than a later-round dart throw in 2026 drafts.
5 days ago
Brenton Strange Note
Brenton Strange photo 18. Brenton Strange JAC (at IND)
Brenton Strange hit career highs in receptions (46), receiving yards (540) and TD catches (3) last season despite playing only 12 games. The 25-year-old Strange, a second-round draft pick in 2023, averaged an impressive 9.0 yards per target and a solid 1.58 yards per route run in an ascendant Jacksonville offense. Still, his fantasy impact was modest. Strange finished TE18 in half-point PPR fantasy points per game among TEs who played at least five games. Although his 2025 performance hints at greater fantasy potential, Strange may have to share snaps with other tight ends in Jacksonville. The Jaguars selected Nate Boerkircher in the second round and Tanner Koziol in the fifth round of this year's draft. That suggests the Jaguars will use more multiple-TE sets this season, which wouldn't necessarily be bad for Strange, but it somewhat clouds his fantasy outlook for 2026.
5 days ago
Hunter Henry Note
Hunter Henry photo 19. Hunter Henry NE (vs . MIA)
With 60 catches for 768 yards and seven touchdowns last season, Hunter Henry finished TE7 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring and TE12 in fantasy points per game among TEs who played at least five games. That was a career high in yardage for Henry, and his 8.8 yards per target represented his best mark in that category since 2017. Henry seems to have good rapport with young Patriots QB Drake Maye, and the 31-year-old tight end hasn't shown signs of slowing down. But New England's potential addition of WR A.J. Brown could put at least a slight dent in Henry's target share.
5 days ago
Chig Okonkwo Note
Chig Okonkwo photo 20. Chig Okonkwo WAS (vs . DAL)
The glass-half-full take on Chig Okonkwo's 2026 fantasy outlook is that a move from Tennessee to Washington could lead to a career-best fantasy performance. Okonkwo has dealt with some pretty shoddy quarterbacking over his four NFL seasons, and now he'll be playing with QB Jayden Daniels in a Commanders offense that lacks proven pass-catching talent beyond WR Terry McLaurin. The glass-half-empty take is that if Okonkwo were going to pop as a potentially impactful fantasy TE, we would have seen more signs of an impending breakout by now. Even with the Titans thin on WR talent last season, Okonkwo could muster only a 14.9% target share, and his numbers weren't substantially better than those of fourth-round rookie TE Gunnar Helm. Okonkwo has had 54, 52 and 56 receptions over the last three years, and he had a career-high 560 receiving yards in 2025, but he's never scored more than three TDs in a season. Okonkwo is an intriguing sleeper at tight end, but it would be reckless to count on him as a fantasy starter.
5 days ago
Dalton Schultz Note
Dalton Schultz photo 21. Dalton Schultz HOU (vs . TEN)
Dalton Schultz had 82 catches for 777 yards and three touchdowns in 2025 to finish TE11 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. The modest TD total limited his fantasy impact, but Schultz finished tied with Jake Ferguson for third among tight ends in receptions behind only Trey McBride and Kyle Pitts. Schultz finished sixth among TEs in receiving yards. The Texans have an established star at wide receiver with Nico Collins, and Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel and (if healthy) Tank Dell round out a pretty good WR corps. With robust target competition, Schultz might be hard-pressed to match the career-high 106 targets he saw last season. And since Houston has one of the best defenses in the league, the Texans aren't likely to be a pass-heavy team in 2026. It's best to consider Schultz a midrange TE2 for fantasy, even though he was more than that last season.
5 days ago
T.J. Hockenson Note
T.J. Hockenson photo 22. T.J. Hockenson MIN (vs . CHI)
It was only three years ago that TJ Hockenson had 95 catches for 960 yards and five touchdowns. But Hockenson tore the ACL and MCL in his right knee in late December of that 2023 season, and he has yet to regain his old form. Last year, Hockenson had 51 catches for 538 yards and three touchdowns in 15 games. Granted, the Vikings' quarterbacking was substandard, which might help explain why Hockenson averaged a career-low 8.6 yards per catch. The Vikings could conceivably get a QB upgrade with Kyler Murray this season, and TE Trey McBride was Murray's favorite target during the QB's final three years in Arizona. But Hockenson is entering his age-29 season, and he'll have to share targets with WRs Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. Consider him a low-end TE2 or high-end TE3.
5 days ago
AJ Barner Note
AJ Barner photo 23. AJ Barner SEA (at LAR)
A.J. Barner got significantly more involved in the Seattle offense in his second NFL season after a quiet rookie year. Barner's snap share increased from 45% in 2024 to 72% in 2025. He had 52 catches for 519 yards and six touchdowns last season after putting up 30-245-4 as a rookie. Barner also had 10 rushing attempts for 14 yards and a touchdown last year, and he had four catches for 54 yards and a touchdown in the Super Bowl. Barner had a 14.9% target share last season for a Seattle offense that had the fourth-fewest pass attempts in the league. The Seahawks didn't add any pass catchers of note in the offseason, so if they either throw more frequently in 2026 or Barner carves out a bigger target share, Barner could take another step forward. Jaxon Smith-Njigba had an absurd 35.8% target share for the Seahawks last year, so it's entirely possible that Barner's target share could rise while JSN's comes down. Consider Barner a midrange to low-end TE2 for 2026 fantasy drafts.
5 days ago
Kenyon Sadiq Note
Kenyon Sadiq photo 24. Kenyon Sadiq NYJ (at BUF)
The 16th overall pick of this year's NFL Draft, Kenyon Sadiq offers an athletic profile that few if any tight ends can match. Sadiq ran a 4.39 at the combine and had a 431/2-inch vertical jump. Sadiq's college production profile at Oregon wasn't quite as dazzling. He topped out at 51 catches, 560 receiving yards and eight touchdowns last year as a junior, averaging an uninspiring 1.62 yards per route run, according to PFF. The Jets aren't expected to have a very good passing attack this year with Geno Smith as the starting quarterback. Sadiq will have to compete for targets with Garrett Wilson, fellow rookie Omar Cooper Jr. and fellow TE Mason Taylor. It's possible Sadiq's athleticism helps him become impactful right away, but more likely he's a play for the future. Profiling as a low-end TE2 or high-end TE3, Sadiq will be undraftable in most redraft leagues.

Gunnar Helm Note
Gunnar Helm photo 25. Gunnar Helm TEN (at HOU)
Second-year man Gunnar Helm sits atop the Titans' depth chart at tight end now that veteran Chig Okonkwo has moved on to Washington via free agency. A fourth-round pick out of the University Of Texas, Helm turned in a solid if unspectacular rookie season, catching 44 passes for 357 yards and two touchdown in an offense that struggled for much of the season. Helm caught 80% of his targets and averaged a respectable 1.45 yards per route run. Titans QB Cam Ward had a rough rookie season overall but played much better late in the season. If Ward can continue to make strides, Helm could become a fantasy-viable TE option in 2026.
5 days ago
Pat Freiermuth Note
Pat Freiermuth photo 26. Pat Freiermuth PIT (at BAL)
Pat Freiermuth was the Steelers' best pass-catching tight end last season, but that didn't mean much, as Freiermuth finished with 41 catches for 486 yards and four touchdowns. He finished TE24 in half-point PPR fantasy scoring. The Steelers' offensive coordinator last season, Arthur Smith, rotated his tight ends, and Freiermuth had a career-low 51% snap share last year. Freiermuth has topped 60 catches in three of his five NFL seasons, and he's squarely in his prime at age 27. If new Steelers head coach Mike McCathy and new offensive coordinator Brian Angelichio make Freiermuth a bigger part of the Pittsburgh offense than he was under Smith last year, the veteran tight end could surprise.

David Njoku Note

Cade Otton Note
Cade Otton photo 28. Cade Otton TB (at NO)
Cade Otton has had 59 receptions in each of the last two seasons. He finished with 572 receiving yards and one touchdown last year, leading to a TE25 fantasy finish. Otton has had spurts of serious fantasy value in the past, usually when one or more of the Bucs' top pass catchers were hurt. When Buccaneers WRs Mike Evans and Chris Godwin both went down with significant injuries in Week 7 of 2024, Otton had 30 catches for 293 yards and three touchdowns over a four game stretch. In Otton's other 10 games that season, he had 29 catches for 307 yards and one touchdown. With Evans now in San Francisco, perhaps Otton will play a bigger role in the Tampa Bay offense this year. But Otton profiles as no more than a high-end TE3 and isn't draftable in most fantasy leagues.

Terrance Ferguson Note
Terrance Ferguson photo 29. Terrance Ferguson LAR (vs . SEA)
Terrance Ferguson will be a stud and possesses an extremely high ceiling. Tyler Higbee is 33 years old, even after signing a 2-year contract extension with L.A. this offseason. Davante Adams is getting older and is a potential salary cap cut candidate despite the Rams wanting him to return next season. We could very much see the Rams' young TE make a major leap in 2026. His 20.8 yards per reception led all TEs in 2025, along with an extremely high average depth of target (17.6). Per Next Gen Stats...Ferguson averaged more air yards per target this season, by more than six full yards. Ferguson was targeted on 12 of his 37 deep routes (32.4%), the highest rate among tight ends to run at least 15 such routes. He hauled in five deep targets for 144 yards and two touchdowns, good for the second-most deep receiving yards by a tight end.

Eli Stowers Note
Eli Stowers photo 34. Eli Stowers PHI (at NYG)
The Eagles took Eli Stowers in the second round of this year's NFL Draft, 54th overall. Stowers won the John Mackey Award last year as the best tight end in college football, finishing his senior year at Vanderbilt with 62 catches for 769 yards and four touchdowns. Stowers had a 27% target rate last year and averaged an impressive 2.55 yards per route run. And like fellow rookie TE Kenyon Sadiq, Stowers is an athletic marvel. Stowers ran a 4.51 at the combine, and the former Texas state high school high-jump champion had a vertical jump of 451/2 inches. The 6-4, 239-pound Stowers might not be heavy enough to play as an in-line tight end, which could potentially limit his snaps. It's hard to project big things for Stowers in his rookie year when his usage and role are uncertain, but his athleticism and college production suggest he's capable of big things sooner or later.

Greg Dulcich could emerge as the 2026 fantasy football sleeper. Flashed with Miami in the second half of the season (second in YPPR among TEs from Week 9 onward), posting his best statistical season after battling injuries since his rookie campaign. The impending free agent finished second among all TEs in YAC/catch - trailing only Tucker Kraft. Worth monitoring now that he is officially returning to Miami, given his rookie year breakout coincided with former Broncos TE coach and current Cardinals TE coach, Jake Moreland, who has previously coached under new Dolphins OC, Bobby Slowik (Miami's passing game coordinator in 2025). Not to mention, the Dolphins' new HC just came from GB, so he clearly knows what a YAC tight end can offer for an offense.
