The Denver Broncos' offensive weapons have largely been massive disappointments in fantasy football as quarterback Russell Wilson is having the worst season of his NFL career. Javonte Williams went down early with a torn ACL, Melvin Gordon was released after some fumbling issues, and wide receivers Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy haven't lived up to their preseason ADP.
However, rookie tight end Greg Dulcich has been the lone bright spot on the Broncos' offense this season as a steady tight end play with upside. Unfortunately, he picked up an injury on Christmas Day, so his Week 17 status is uncertain.
Will Dulcich play in Week 17 and what is his fantasy outlook if he's active? Let's find out.

Greg Dulcich Injury Update for Fantasy Football
Denver Broncos tight end Greg Dulcich left the Christmas Day game against the Los Angeles Rams early and is reportedly dealing with a hamstring injury. The rookie tight end has impressed in spots this season, totaling 33 receptions for 411 yards and three touchdowns thus far, despite missing the first five weeks of the regular season.
It's unclear whether or not he will play in Week 17 against the Kansas City Chiefs, so fantasy managers will have to stay tuned as the week moves along for his latest injury updates.
Greg Dulcich Week 17 Fantasy Outlook
If Dulcich can suit up against Kansas City, Dulcich has a wide range of outcomes, but he'll be ranked as a low-end TE1, as usual. In the first meeting with Kansas City, Dulcich hauled in three of his eight targets for 42 yards. Of course, that doesn't equate to elite fantasy production, but the targets were there, and likely will be again in Week 17.
The Denver defense has seemingly reached its breaking point after giving up 51 points to Baker Mayfield and the Los Angeles Rams. That said, expect Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs offense to score with ease, forcing Russell Wilson into must-pass situations.
If Dulcich has to miss time, Eric Saubert and Eric Tomlinson will see more time at tight end, but neither would be on the fantasy radar. The fallout of Dulcich's absence would mean more targets for Courtland Sutton and Jerry Jeudy in Week 17
