Pat Fitzmaurice· Aug 19, 2026

Fitzmaurice expects Greg Dulcich to be a sneaky-good fantasy tight end in Miami's thin passing game, with Malik Willis taking over as the Dolphins' starting quarterback; he also considers Terrance Ferguson undraftable in most leagues because of role ambiguity in a crowded Rams tight end room.

“Dulcich could be a sneaky-good fantasy option this year.”
