PositiveMatchupSep 9, 2026
Goedert faces the Commanders in Week 1, who ranked No. 32 in defensive pass DVOA against TEs (27.3%), making them a flow chart defense that provides automatic upgrades. Goedert has been efficient since 2023 (7.7 yards per target) and scored a position-high 11 TDs last season; he now operates as the No. 2 pass catcher with A.J. Brown gone. In his one game last year against the Commanders, Goedert had an efficient 3-32-1 receiving on 3 targets (10.7 fantasy points).
PositiveValueAug 25, 2026
Dallas Goedert at a consensus auction value of $12 is described as a no-brainer bargain. With A.J. Brown's 121 targets gone and Philadelphia adding Makai Lemon (nursing a hamstring injury) and Dontayvion Wicks, Goedert's established connection with Jalen Hurts becomes even more valuable. After averaging 3.4 touchdowns per season before 2025, Goedert erupted for 11 TDs last year. OC Sean Mannion can use receivers' speed to stretch defenses, opening the middle for Goedert to create after the catch; Goedert finished inside the top 10 among tight ends with 320 YAC yards in 2023.
PositiveProjectionAug 25, 2026
Dallas Goedert had his best season in 2025 with a career-high 60 catches and 11 receiving touchdowns, the most ever by an Eagles tight end. This production stems from the trust and chemistry built with Jalen Hurts over their time together. Goedert ranked fourth in designed target share rate at 26.3% and 12th in first-read target rate at 17.4% among tight ends, demonstrating Hurts' consistent targeting of Goedert on the field. The Eagles traded Pro Bowl TE Zach Ertz in 2021 to commit to Goedert, and despite missing 17 games from 2021-2024, Goedert's 2025 season validated that decision.
PositiveValueAug 25, 2026
At consensus auction value of $12, Goedert represents strong value; with A.J. Brown's 121 targets departing Philadelphia and new receivers Makai Lemon (hamstring injury) and Dontayvion Wicks requiring time to build chemistry with Jalen Hurts, Goedert's established connection with Hurts positions him to absorb vacated opportunities. Goedert erupted for 11 touchdowns in 2025 after averaging 3.4 per season prior; in 12 personnel sets, OC Sean Mannion can use receiver speed to stretch defenses and open the middle for Goedert's after-the-catch ability, evidenced by his 320 YAC yards in 2023 (top 10 among TEs).
PositiveRoleAug 15, 2026
Goedert returns to an Eagles offense that relied on him in the red zone last season, leading to a career-high 11 touchdowns. He earned a respectable 19% target share on the season and saw 13% of the team's end-zone looks, resulting in the second-most red-zone fantasy points scored at the position (67.7). The retooling Eagles offense lost A.J. Brown, and rookie pass-catchers Makai Lemon and TE Eli Stowers are off to slow starts, so Goedert returns to the same role that made him a massive value last season.
