Eagles Beat: TE Dallas Goedert shining so far

Jul 29, 2018

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert has been stellar at times, securing a diving catch from Carson Wentz on Friday and Saturday, converting one catch that had him turning around and falling on his back in tight coverage. He made the catch and held onto it.

If Zach Ertz wasn't around, I'm increasingly convinced Goedert would acquit himself just fine as a team's No. 1 tight end.

Fantasy Impact:

His athleticism is impressive, as are his hands, according to the author of the story. Goedert is in a battle with Rodgers for the Eagles' No. 2 TE spot behind Ertz. Last year, all three Eagles TEs saw significant action but Ertz is the clear top option at the position and one of our top TEs overall.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
