Broncos HC Sean Payton gave a pretty chilly response when asked about TE Greg Dulcich at the league meetings in late March. "We'll see," Payton said. "Some of it was hard -- the evaluation [on Dulcich.] Some of it was hard." Dulcich flashed between injuries as a rookie last year, tallying a 33-411-2 line across ten games. He ranked 17th among TEs in PPR points per game and 19th among 32 qualifiers in yards per route run. But the fact that he's now playing for a brand new coaching staff adds risk to his 2023 fantasy football outlook. Denver still has TE Albert Okwuegbunam, a popular breakout candidate this time last year. And The Denver Post's Kyle Newman believes the Broncos could add a TE in the draft later this month. The good news with Dulcich: He's just TE15 in recent FFPC ADP — a fine shot to take at that price.

The Broncos placed TE Greg Dulcich on IR with his hamstring injury. That knocks him out for at least the next four games and makes him droppable in most fantasy leagues. Adam Trautman will step in as Denver's lead TE but is unlikely to ascend beyond TE2 status.

Broncos TE Greg Dulcich (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. He’s expected to miss multiple weeks with this hamstring injury. Adam Trautman should pick up some extra work with Dulcich out but would be a desperation fantasy play.

Broncos TE Greg Dulcich is expected to miss "multiple weeks" with the hamstring injury he suffered in the season opener, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. It's the same hamstring that cost Dulcich the first five games and final two games of last year, per Schefter. "Broncos will take it slow," Schefter adds. The news makes Dulcich droppable in standard-sized fantasy leagues. Adam Trautman is left as Denver's lead TE and posted a 5-34-0 line on five targets in the opener. He's worth waiver-wire consideration for TE-needy teams in deep fantasy leagues.

Broncos TE Greg Dulcich has been ruled out of Sunday's opener vs. the Raiders with a leg injury. We'll look for further details. His absence leaves Adam Trautman as Denver's clear-cut lead TE.

Broncos TE Greg Dulcich's preseason usage has been a bit worrisome. But The Athletic's Nick Kosmider still expects him to play a big role in the passing game this season. "The 6-foot-3, 245-pounder has been an active target in training camp, stretching the defense in all parts of the field," Kosmider writes. "The Broncos acquired veteran tight end Adam Trautman in a draft-day trade, and he brings experience with Payton’s offense. But Dulcich will remain the top tight-end target, and it wouldn’t be surprising to see him end up as the team’s third-leading receiver behind Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy." We're expecting Dulcich's production to be a bit volatile from week to week -- but very few TEs are consistent producers. Dulcich remains an intriguing fantasy pick at his reduced-cost 13th-round ADP.
