Greg Dulcich vs Tyler Higbee: The Full Breakdown

The gap between Greg Dulcich and Tyler Higbee is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.0 PPG in 2025, this is one of those tight end decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Greg Dulcich averaged 5.5 PPG with the Miami Dolphins across 9 games, and Tyler Higbee posted 6.5 with the Los Angeles Rams 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. Greg Dulcich had 26 catches for 335 yards; Tyler Higbee posted 25 for 281. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

Greg Dulcich has his bye in Week 6, and Tyler Higbee rests in Week 11. 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

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. Tyler Higbee (age 33) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
