2026 Fantasy Outlook
Kacmarek found an intriguing landing spot in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, going 87th overall to a Dolphins team with one of the league’s weakest TE rooms, headlined by Greg Dulcich. Kacmarek’s likely to earn decent playing time out of the gate for the rebuilding Dolphins -- thanks to his blocking prowess and underwhelming competition for snaps -- but the 6-foot-6, 261-pound rookie didn’t catch many passes at Ohio State. He had just 23 receptions for 254 yards and two TDs over the last two seasons for the Buckeyes, and while a 4.74 40 at the 2026 Scouting Combine wasn't bad relative to his size, it's another hint in the direction of a block-first role in the NFL.

Selected by Dolphins
The Dolphins selected Kacmarek in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 87th overall.
ANALYSIS
In a Day 2 where several teams made dubious tight end selections, the Dolphins probably made one of the better ones. Kacmarek (6-foot-6, 261 pounds) is potentially an AJ Barner type out of Ohio State, or at worst an Adam Trautman. Kacmarek is a rugged blocker who can amplify the run game, and he has enough athleticism to hurt the defense if they don't defend him honestly as a potential pass catcher (4.74-second 40, 36-inch vertical jump). Kacmarek is unlikely to be a fantasy factor, but don't be surprised if he's in frame, driving some defender backward on a lot of De'Von Achane's big plays.

Seventh-ranked TE per Brugler
Kacmarek is the seventh-ranked tight end in the comprehensive NFL Draft guide compiled by Dane Brugler of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Kacmarek comes in four spots behind former Ohio State teammate Max Klare. Kacmarek may have to wait until Day 3 of the 2026 NFL Draft to hear his name called, but he could carve out a consistent role at the NFL level as one of the better blockers in this draft class. He had only 23 catches for 254 yards and two touchdowns in two years at Ohio State.
