A year ago, Albert Okwuegbunam had some buzz entering 2022 as the heir apparent to Noah Fant, who'd been traded away in the Wilson deal. He opened with five catches in Week 1 but did little after that and ended up being a healthy scratch for much of the season. A tight end did start to emerge last year, however, and that was Dulcich, a third-round pick.
Despite appearing in just 10 games as a rookie, Dulcich managed to finish third on the team with 411 yards on 32 receptions and two touchdowns. On the downside, he bookended his first year on Injured Reserve, missing five games with a hamstring injury to open the season and then missing the final two with a similar issue.
After some initially cryptic remarks from Payton about Dulcich's future in Denver, the new head coach seems to have warmed to the UCLA product, lauding his versatility in terms of what he can do and where he can line up. There's a lot of intrigue with Dulcich, who could be targeted as a borderline TE1 with top-10 potential.

 Greg Dulcich out with hamstring injury, again
Same hamstring issue he dealt with last year

|  | #Broncos TE Greg Dulcich, the team's pass catching TE that during camp Sean Payton said would play the "Joker" role for Denver at times, is expected to miss some time with a hamstring injury. It's the same hamstring as last year. (James Palmer on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: The Broncos moved on from Albert Okwuegbunam who is now in Philadelphia and have just Adam Trautman and Chris Manhertz. Denver was also without the services of WR Jerry Jeudy (hamstring) in Week 1. Dulchich has been battling his hamstring issue ever since last season. Trautman will be a TE2 streaming option in Week 2 against the Commanders.
| Jerry Jeudy leaves practice with hamstring injury
MRI will be done

| | Sean Payton on Jerry Jeudy: “It’s a hamstring. We’ll get an MRI. ... Hopefully it’s not anything long term.” (Mike Klis on Twitter)
FFToday's Take: It wouldn't be an NFL season without the Broncos dealing with injuries to their wide receiver room. Tim Patrick suffered an Achilles injury at the end of July and now Jeudy could miss some time with a hamstring issue. We'll know more about his timeframe after the MRI, but Marvin Mims and perhaps tight end Greg Dulcich may be thrust into bigger roles early in the season out of necessity.
