Greg Dulcich Fantasy

The Denver Broncos placed rookie tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Friday, ending his rookie season with two games left to play. The 22-year-old third-rounder had a delayed start to his first NFL season due to injury, as he didn't debut until Week 6 against the Los Angeles Chargers. He came out of the gates firing with 44 yards and a touchdown on two receptions in his first game, but he didn't score again until last week's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Dulcich was an up-and-down TE2 streamer in his 10 games played, mostly due to the Broncos' anemic offense led by quarterback Russell Wilson. However, Dulcich has intriguing long-term upside as a pass-catcher and will be an interesting QB1/2 bench stash in fantasy drafts in 2023. Eric Saubert will likely play a bigger pass-catching role with Dulcich out the rest of the way, but Eric Tomlinson and Albert Okwuegbunam could also be involved.

Denver Broncos running back Latavius Murray (rest) and rookie tight end Greg Dulcich (hamstring) were not seen at practice on Wednesday. Murray is just getting a veteran rest day, while Dulcich's status is up in the air for Week 17 against the Kansas City Chiefs after he was injured late in the Week 16 blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Murray continues to lead Denver's backfield, but the return of Chase Edmonds could mean a more even backfield split in the final two regular season games. The 32-year-old Murray is nothing more than a touchdown-dependent, low-upside RB3/flex in the Broncos' low-scoring offense. If Dulcich is unable to get cleared this weekend, Eric Saubert, Eric Tomlinson and Albert Okwuegbunam will battle for more playing time.

Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich left the Christmas Day game against the Los Angeles Rams early and is reportedly dealing with a hamstring injury. The rookie tight end has impressed in spots this season, totaling 33 receptions for 411 yards and three touchdowns thus far, despite missing the first five weeks of the regular season. If Dulcich has to miss time, Eric Saubert and Eric Tomlinson will see more time at tight end, but neither would be on the fantasy radar. The fallout of Dulcich's absence would mean more targets for Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy in Week 17.
