  "account": "The Miami Dolphins recently retained tight end Greg Dulcich as part of their offseason strategy, with initial indications suggesting he could become one of Malik Willis' primary targets. However, during the team's first two weeks of training camp, Dulcich was only targeted five times, catching four for a combined 35 yards. This trend changed in Week 3 against the Kansas City Chiefs, where Willis targeted Dulcich seven times and the tight end responded with five catches for 55 yards, including a 42-yard touchdown on a critical second-and-8 play from Miami's 28-yard line. Head coach Jeff Hafley expressed optimism about this development, emphasizing the importance of Dulcich being more involved in the offensive scheme going forward. Hafley acknowledged the possibility that Dulcich might have been open but went unnoticed, or that the throws were not intended for him. Despite Dulcich's impressive performance and his season-long trajectory of increased receptions and yards, Hafley stressed that the Dolphins could benefit from him being more frequently utilized, particularly considering the team's reliance on young talent at wide receiver and running back, especially with the season-ending injury to De Von Achane.
