Scoring Zone's Take

For draft purposes, neither name should appear on your board. Franklin is worth a mental note if you're doing very deep dynasty or best-ball TE speculation, but he's not draftable in redraft leagues based on this news alone — he'd need to show up in preseason usage reports or beat out incumbents before you'd even consider a late-round flier. Mulbah is a non-factor for fantasy in essentially all formats.

Confidence here is high on the facts themselves (both sources confirm the transactions at 100% confidence), but the fantasy impact is appropriately rated low-negative since this is just standard roster maneuvering with no immediate path to fantasy production for either player. Bottom line: log this for depth-chart tracking purposes only, take no draft-day action, and revisit if either player's role clarifies during camp or preseason.

The Dolphins picked up a tight end off the waiver wire on Wednesday.
