Colston Loveland vs Greg Dulcich: The Full Breakdown

Colston Loveland and Greg Dulcich are both viable fantasy tight ends heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Colston Loveland averaged 8.5 PPG across 16 games with the Chicago Bears, while Greg Dulcich posted 5.5 PPG in 9 appearances for the Miami Dolphins.

A 3.0-PPG gap gives Colston Loveland the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Colston Loveland is the volume tight end in this matchup with 58 receptions for 713 yards, while Greg Dulcich profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (1 scores on 26 catches). In weeks where Greg Dulcich finds the end zone he out-scores Colston Loveland, but the floor gap is real.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Colston Loveland sits Week 10 while Greg Dulcich is off Week 6. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Greg Dulcich is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Colston Loveland (age 22) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Greg Dulcich (age 26) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
