Greg Dulcich vs T.J. Hockenson
T.J. Hockenson holds a 35.3% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 10/1/2026
THE CASE FOR DULCICH
Dulcich is cheaper and younger, so you’re buying optionality rather than paying for past production. If he lands/holds a meaningful role in Miami’s offense, the athletic profile can translate into spike-week upside at a position that’s often replaceable outside the elite tier. In a TE market where replacement-level scoring is common, discount bets on talent + situation can be sharp portfolio plays.
THE CASE FOR HOCKENSON
Hockenson is a bankable target earner when healthy, and that archetype is what separates weekly starters from streamers at TE. Even at 29, the position ages well enough that a multi-year scoring window is realistic, especially in PPR formats where volume matters most. The ~18% value premium is paying for proven weekly usability and a higher floor that reduces lineup volatility.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Hockenson—pay the 17.7% gap for startable weekly volume and fewer questions.
Lean Dulcich—save value, keep flexibility, and you can re-roll into a TE1 later if he hits or flip him on any spike.
If you’re within a tier of TE contention, Hockenson is the cleaner bet; otherwise the price-sensitive play is Dulcich plus the surplus value elsewhere.
FREQUENTLY ASKED
Worth more?
Hockenson is worth more today because he projects for materially higher weekly start rates and is a safer asset in most formats.
Trade?
If selling Hockenson, ask for Dulcich plus a meaningful sweetener (e.g., a 2nd+ or equivalent) to justify giving up the proven TE1 profile.
Superflex?
Superflex doesn’t materially change this TE-to-TE comparison—Hockenson for contenders, Dulcich for rebuilders, with the main SF impact being how hard it is to add the sweetener.
