Pat Fitzmaurice#8 of 87 NFL pundits · Aug 11, 2026
Fitzmaurice names three late-round tight ends he's targeting in 2026 fantasy drafts — Dallas Goedert, Greg Dulcich and A.J. Barner — with Dulcich a 'sneaky-good' option atop Miami's depth chart and Barner projected as a midrange to low-end TE2.

- 1Malik Willis to be 1st on the depth chart“Although Miami isn’t expected to have a high-powered passing attack with the inexperienced Malik Willis taking over as the starting quarterback”
- 2Dallas Goedert to outplay his draft cost (Late-Round)“2026 Fantasy Football Draft Advice: Top Late-Round TE Targets ... Dallas Goedert (PHI) ... The 31-year-old Goedert clearly has gas left in the tank.”
- 3AJ Barner to outplay his draft cost (Late-Round)“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.”
- 4Greg Dulcich to outplay his draft cost (Late-Round)“Dulcich could be a sneaky-good fantasy option this year.”
- 5AJ Barner to finish top 24 at his position, by fantasy points“Consider Barner a midrange to low-end TE2 for 2026 fantasy drafts.”

How each call scored
5 checkable claims — 3 sleeper calls, 1 depth chart call and 1 positional finish — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call.
It names 7 players and teams, each linked to their own record.
None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in.
Of the 2 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands above the room on 1 and below it on 1.
Each call is scored 0 to 100 against what happened, on its own, by the published methodology. The naive guess is what knowing nothing would have scored on the same calls; the gap, weighted by how hard the call was, is the skill.
