David Njoku vs Greg Dulcich: The Full Breakdown

The gap between David Njoku and Greg Dulcich is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 0.8 PPG in 2025, this is one of those tight end decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. David Njoku averaged 6.3 PPG with the Cleveland Browns across 11 games, and Greg Dulcich posted 5.5 with the Miami Dolphins in 9.

When two tight ends are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. David Njoku had 33 catches for 293 yards; Greg Dulcich posted 26 for 335. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

David Njoku has his bye in Week 11, and Greg Dulcich rests in Week 6. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook
