Greg Dulcich vs Mason Taylor: The Full Breakdown

Greg Dulcich (5.5 PPG) and Mason Taylor (5.1 PPG) produced nearly identical fantasy numbers in 2025. When two tight ends are this close on a per-game basis, the weekly matchup matters more than the season-long resume. Greg Dulcich played 9 games for the Miami Dolphins; Mason Taylor suited up 13 times for the New York Jets.

A 0.4-point per-game gap over a full season is essentially noise. It means one extra catch, one fewer target, or a single broken play away from flipping the script. For a weekly start/sit call between these two, matchup analysis matters far more than the season line.

Mason Taylor is the volume tight end in this matchup with 44 receptions for 369 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 Mason Taylor, but the floor gap is real.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Greg Dulcich sits Week 6 while Mason Taylor is off Week 13. 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

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Greg Dulcich (age 26) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value. Mason Taylor (age 22) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
