Greg Dulcich vs T.J. Hockenson: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Greg Dulcich and T.J. Hockenson 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. Greg Dulcich averaged 5.0 PPG with the Miami Dolphins across 10 games, and T.J. Hockenson posted 5.8 with the Minnesota Vikings in 15.
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.
T.J. Hockenson is the volume tight end in this matchup with 51 receptions for 438 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 T.J. Hockenson, but the floor gap is real.
Both share a Week 6 bye, which matters for roster construction. If you are stacking tight ends this deep on your bench, plan your replacement tight end early.
