If Greg Dulcich is out, who gets his targets?
The Miami Dolphins room absorbs +1.06 receptions, and Will Kacmarek takes the largest single share at +0.71. The work stays overwhelmingly inside the tight end room.
Where the work goes
Change in projected receptions for every other player in the offense. The bars are small on purpose — a vacated role is shared out, and any tool showing one replacement absorbing a whole target load is telling you something the data does not support.
Every player in the room
| Player | Catches now | If he sits | Change |
|---|---|---|---|
| Malik Washington WR · 86% snaps | 3.50 | 3.57 | +0.07 |
| Caleb Douglas WR · 88% snaps | 3.40 | 3.47 | +0.07 |
| Greg Dulcich TE · 69% snaps | 3.10 | — | OUT |
| De'Von Achane RB · 56% snaps | 2.60 | 2.60 | +0.00 |
| Chris Bell WR · 55% snaps | 1.80 | 1.87 | +0.07 |
| Ollie Gordon II RB · 37% snaps | 1.00 | 1.00 | +0.00 |
| Kevin Coleman Jr. WR · 46% snaps | 0.70 | 0.77 | +0.07 |
| Ryan Miller WR · 17% snaps | 0.70 | 0.77 | +0.07 |
| Will Kacmarek TE · 38% snaps | 0.60 | 1.31 | +0.71 |
What the data says happens
Measured across every regular-season game from 2018 onward, each beneficiary compared against his own trailing four-game form and net of what the same players do in weeks the room’s number one actually plays.
| Room | Receptions gained | n | t |
|---|---|---|---|
| Receivers | +0.107 | 2,160 | 2.29 |
| Tight ends | +0.492 | 1,024 | 9.57 |
| Backs | -0.045 | 1,259 | -0.92 |
The room total is predictable. Which player takes it is not. Every candidate predictor of who gains — pecking order, snap share, route depth, trailing targets — correlates at roughly r = 0.02. In any single week one player usually takes about 60% of what was vacated; it is simply not predictably the same one.
