Eagles TE Dallas Goedert will be a "player to watch" for a Draft Day trade

Mike Garafolo

Dallas Goedert entering the last year of his deal with the Eagles. This has felt like it could go either way. Not a player they’re looking to dump but a possible tough decision on financials and what a trade might net. One of the players to watch as we get closer to the draft.

Related Players: Grant Calcaterra, Harrison Bryant, Kylen Granson

Fantasy Impact:

The Eagles went out to grab Bryant and Granson to add to what is now a pretty crowded tight end room, presumably in preparation for a possible Goedert trade. Though Goedert's fantasy value could possibly take a hit, it's worth pointing out that he hasn't caught more than four touchdowns since the 2019 season, and he could very easily go to a team with a higher pass rate than Philadelphia. It could end up being a net-neutral spot for the 30-year-old vet.

Patriots WR Ja'Lynn Polk recovering from offseason shoulder surgery

yesterday · 3:32 PM EDT

Wide receiver Ja'Lynn Polk, a 2024 second-round pick out of Washington who had a rocky rookie season (12 catches, 87 yards, 2 TDs), is recovering from offseason shoulder surgery. Vrabel said he has been excited about how Polk has approached his rehabilitation, working on his lower-body strength.

Related Players: Kayshon Boutte, Stefon Diggs, DeMario Douglas, Javon Baker, Kendrick Bourne, Mack Hollins

Fantasy Impact:

There's no timetable for recovery here, but Polk certainly didn't need any setbacks after catching only 38.7% of his 31 targets as a 2024 rookie. He should be considered more of a Dynasty hold than a redraft option, particularly with the Patriots tied to a number of options in the '25 Draft class.

Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson in open competition for Colts QB

From the NFL annual meeting here in Palm Beach:

Colts coach Shane Steichen says Daniel Jones and Anthony Richardson will split starting reps beginning in OTAs and the most consistent QB will be the regular season starter.

Fantasy Impact:

It's clear that the Colts are already looking to move on from Richardson, and that may have been apparent as early as last season. We're still holding out hope that the young dual-threat option will be a fantasy hit in 2025, but he's going to have to have a great Summer.
