Cade Otton or Greg Dulcich: Who is a better fantasy pick?

Going into Week 8, some fantasy managers might find themselves in a selection dilemma on who to pick between tight ends Cade Otton and Greg Dulcich.

With Cameron Brate struggling with another injury, Cade Otton has assumed the starting tight end role for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He has received 19 targets in the last four matches and is also fresh off a 64-yard outing against the Carolina Panthers.

Denver Broncos 2022 third-round pick Greg Dulcich is showing early promise in the NFL. In his first two games, he has eight receptions for 95 yards and a touchdown.

Their Week 7 defeat to the New York Jets was the rookie tight end's second professional match, yet, he was deeply involved. He caught six of his nine targets for 51 yards in the 16-9 loss. The 22-year-old matched receiver Courtland Sutton for second place on the team in targets, yards, and receptions.

After two NFL games, Dulcich has established himself as Denver's premier pass-catcher. As a result, he is swiftly gaining attention from TE2 streaming services. He may thus be a stronger selection in Week 8 than Cade Otton.

Greg Dulcich's prospects in the Denver Broncos offense

Many believed that Albert Okwuegbunam would be the young Broncos tight end who'd make a name for himself this season. But Greg Dulcich, a former outstanding pass catcher for UCLA, is doing it instead. Although Russell Wilson missed out this week with a hamstring issue, Dulcich has shown his talent as a tremendous playmaker.

The Broncos will go up against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 8. For a competent Jaguars defensive unit that has effectively restricted tight end productivity, Dulcich's agility can be a problem.

Jacksonville has only allowed the position to average 3.7 yards per grab for 45 yards and one touchdown this season. In spite of this, Dulcich is performing at his best when Brett Rypien, the backup quarterback, needs him the most.

Since being activated, Dulcich has effectively been the starter after missing the first five weeks due to injury. He took 71 and 59 percent of the snaps in the last two games, totaling eight receptions for 95 yards and one touchdown.

Otton has shown promise in the Buccaneers' scheme this season. However, he will be in the TE15–TE20 area this week, making him a risky streaming choice for managers in a pinch.
