Dallas Goedert
Goedert remains Philadelphia's clear No. 1 tight end and a near-every-down piece in the passing game, but in a run-heavy, Jalen Hurts-centric offense his weekly fantasy output stays middling rather than dominant.
Role
When healthy he's playing an every-down role, logging around 80%+ of offensive snaps and 90%+ of routes in games he's finished, with a team-high or near team-high target share (roughly 20%) and consistent involvement in the red zone (second on the team in red-zone and deep targets this season). He's TE8 in fantasy points per game, and the preseason no-show is standard veteran-starter rest, not a health flag — he carries no injury designation now, though he did miss a game earlier in the season with a knee sprain before returning to his usual workload.
He's a true focal-point tight end who sees the ball early in the progression (over 20% first-read share) and gets consistent red-zone and deep-target volume that most TEs never sniff, giving him a high weekly target floor when the offense throws.
Philadelphia's offense is built around Jalen Hurts's legs and short-yardage scoring, and with A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith and Saquon Barkley all commanding touches, Goedert's per-game yardage (under 40 yards/game) and touchdown opportunities are capped, leaving him more of a target-volume floor play than a weekly difference-maker.
Where analysts split
Analysts don't disagree that Goedert is the clear starter, but they split on whether his current pace of production represents his real ceiling or is being suppressed by a run-first game script that could shift if the Eagles fall behind more often or lean pass-heavy down the stretch.
