Dulcich didn’t need much volume to make a case for a 2026 role. After getting called up from the practice squad in 2025, he delivered 12.9 yards per catch, 2.31 yards per route, and 7.5 yards after catch per reception. That matters in Miami, where the league’s worst WR corps could push more targets toward the TE.
Dulcich is a name to monitor on the waiver wire as we wait to see how Malik Willis performs.
Customize his projection for your exact league settings inside the Draft War Room.Dulcich posted 26 catches, 335 yards, and 1 TD across 10 games in 2025. He reached 40 yards in half of his games.
The practice-squad call-up ranked 31st in fantasy points per game. He peaked with a TE5 finish in Week 17 alongside rookie QB Quinn Ewers but ranked no better than TE18 in his other nine games.
Dulcich’s role began after Darren Waller hit short-term IR ahead of Week 8. In the next four games without Waller, Dulcich posted middling marks in route rate (54%) and target share (12%).
Waller returned in Week 13 and predictably beat him in route rate (60% to 41%) and target share (19% to 13%) over the next five games. Those margins aren’t huge, though. And Dulcich saw his role jump in the finale with Waller again sidelined. He caught just 3 of 4 targets for 31 yards but saw a season-high in route rate (68%).
Call it notable growth for a guy brought up from the practice squad around midseason.
Dulcich posted excellent efficiency metrics:
Those topped his marks from a promising 2022 rookie year in Denver:
Dulcich didn’t put out a meaningful sample in 2023, when injuries limited him to two games, or 2024, Dulcich made just four appearances before the Broncos waived him in November.
Dulcich played seven games with Tua Tagovailoa and three with Ewers. Dulcich averaged 2.1 catches, 28.5 yards, and 0 TDs with Tua and 3.6 catches, 45.0 yards, and 0.33 TDs with Ewers.
The Dolphins supplied a terrible environment for fantasy production, ranking 32nd in situation-neutral pace, 31st in plays, and 30th in pass rate over expected. They ranked 26th in total yards and 25th in scoring.
Dulcich struggled to stay on the field early in his career. He sustained four separate hamstring injuries between July 2022 and October 2023. The result was 22 missed games and a stint in Denver that lasted parts of only three seasons, after he arrived as a Round 3 pick.
Dulcich avoided any type of injury in 2025.
Dulcich is the favorite to lead Miami TEs in receiving.
He re-signed on a one-year, $3.25 million deal at the start of free agency. It’s certainly not a huge deal, but nearly all of that money is guaranteed.
There are other signs that Miami is intrigued here. GM Jon Eric Sullivan said he thought Dulcich had “a really good back end of the season, and I want to see if he can build on that.”
The draft brought two new TEs, but neither is expected to push Dulcich for his role. Round 3 pick Will Kacmarek never topped 22 catches in a season in college and profiles as a blocking TE. Round 5 pick Seydou Traore is a developmental player.
There’s not much competition at WR either. Veterans Tutu Atwell and Jalen Tolbert combined for only 305 yards in 2025, playing for the Rams and Cowboys, respectively.
The team added three rookies in Caleb Douglas, Chris Bell, and Kevin Coleman. Bell brings the potential to develop into a go-to target, but he’s recovering from a November ACL tear and could miss early-season games.
Willis is a bit of a mystery given his limited experience. But his small sample over the past two seasons at least showed promise.
Willis tallied 972 yards, 6 TDs, and 0 INTs in Green Bay, while posting huge efficiency marks with 10.9 yards per attempt and 78.6% completions across 11 appearances (three starts).
That was a clear departure from his ugly early-career run in Tennessee. Across 2022 and 2023, the Round 3 pick managed only a 53.0% completion rate, 5.3 yards per attempt, and 0 TDs on 66 passes.
The Dolphins, led by former Green Bay DC Jeff Hafley, signaled faith by giving Willis a three-year deal with $45 million guaranteed. Structurally, though, it looks more like a two-year commitment.
At this point, it’s hard to call Willis an asset for Dulcich.
The Dolphins promoted passing-game coordinator Bobby Slowik to OC this offseason.
He coordinated the 2023-24 Houston offense to Nos. 11 and 12 rankings in pass attempts, respectively. Their 12th- and ninth-place ranks in pass rate point to at least a slight passing lean. This year’s Dolphins, though, don’t seem to support a similar lean.
Texans TEs ranked 18th and 20th in target share in Slowik’s two seasons. So his ascent doesn’t look like a win or loss for Dulcich.

The Dolphins Draft Blocking TE Will Kacmarek in Round 3
The Miami Dolphins selected Ohio State TE Will Kacmarek in Round 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft. Kacmarek started his career at Ohio University with a two-year stint as their top blocking TE. He combined for 42 catches for 527 yards but only 2 TDs over that time. He transferred up to Ohio State and settled as the No. 2 TE behind Gee Scott. He only caught 8 passes in 2024. The Buckeyes brought in Max Klare as the lead pass catcher, but Kacmarek’s elite blocking made him a mainstay in 12 personnel. He went 15-168-2, but drew NFL interest thanks to that blocking. Among the 27 TEs invited to the NFL Combine, Kacmarek ranked 24th in 2025 aDOT (5.5), and last in team market share of receiving yards (9.1%). He ranked 22nd in 2025 receiving yards per team pass attempt (0.81) and 16th in receiving yards per route run (1.46). He is currently 23 years old

Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan singled out TE Greg Dulcich as a player he's excited about taking a leap in 2026. "I thought he had a really good back end of the season, and I want to see if he can build on that," Sullivan said on Kevin Clark's This is Football. "That’s why we brought him back."

Jaylen Waddle Not Expected To Play Week 18
Dolphins WR Jaylen Waddle (ribs) is not expected to play vs. the Patriots today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. RB De'Von Achane (shoulder), who's listed as doubtful, is also expected to miss. And TE Darren Waller (groin) has already been ruled out. Expect a run-centric game plan for at least however long the Fins can keep this one close. WR Malik Washington and TE Greg Dulcich are the team's best target bets.
Darren Waller Out for Week 18
Darren Waller Out for Week 18
The Dolphins placed TE Darren Waller (groin) on IR, knocking him out of Sunday's finale vs. the Patriots. That should mean a boost in routes for TE Greg Dulcich, who's caught 13 balls on limited playing time over the last four games. Dulcich is at least in play in daily tournament this weekend.
