Dallas Goedert

Dallas Goedert is, in the opinion of many prominent film watchers, one of the top five most talented tight ends in the entire NFL. Sadly, he's never quite put this talent together for a whole season and emerged as a truly dominant performer. 2023 was a prime example of this. Goedert caught a career-high 59 passes and racked up 592 yards, his fifth-straight season with at least 500 yards. But he scored just three touchdowns, and has seen his yards per receptions drop in each of his last two seasons. He finished 2023 as the TE13 in half-PPR formats.

There is optimism that Goedert could be ready for his true breakout with the arrival of Kellen Moore in Philadelphia. Moore's offenses have, in the past, made good use of their tight ends, with the likes of Dalton Schultz and Gerald Everett seeing plenty of opportunities. Goedert will have to share targets with A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, as well as see targets plucked out of the air by Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley seeking out rushing opportunities, but if Goedert can play a full season (which he has not since his rookie campaign) then he could finish a lot higher than our low-end TE1 projections currently have him in store for.

Week 16 vs. New York Giants
Dallas Goedert had four catches for 30 yards. The trend continues for the veteran tight end as his fantasy numbers are almost the same every week. The biggest difference from last season is he only has one touchdown in 2023.

Goedert faces the Giants who are ranked sixth in aFPA to tight ends. He played two games against New York last season and combined for 11 receptions for 104 yards and a touchdown.

Start Goedert as a low-end TE1 for Week 16. Everyone should expect the consistency to continue, even with a tough matchup against the Giants.

Week 14 at Dallas Cowboys
Dallas Goedert is expected to return from injury this week. The last time he played was in early November against Dallas where he had three catches for 50 yards. The Cowboys are ranked 28th in aFPA to tight ends so this is a great matchup for Goedert.

We will see how much the Eagles use him coming off the injury, but his fantasy stock is back up this week as he ranks as a TE1 for Week 14 and should be in your starting lineup against the Cowboys.
