PositiveBreakoutSep 12, 2026
Goedert is one of the most overlooked tight ends in Week 1 and has breakout potential; the source recommends starting him with confidence. This assessment comes in the context of the Cowboys allowing the most fantasy points in 2025 with a league-high 60 touchdowns, despite sweeping defensive personnel changes and a first-time defensive coordinator.PositiveRoleSep 12, 2026
With A.J. Brown out of town, Goedert has an opportunity to be the second option in Philadelphia's offense behind DeVonta Smith. Goedert clearly has the trust of Jalen Hurts: he accounted for 40.9% of the team's targets inside the 10-yard line, which resulted in a career-high 11 TDs in 2025, and there's little reason to believe that number takes a significant dip in 2026 with Brown's 120 vacated targets. Goedert's targets per route when A.J. Brown was on the field was 18.8% over the last two seasons, and that number jumped to 27.1% when Brown was off the field. The 31-year-old maintains his every-down role in 2026. Rookie first-round pick Makai Lemon will eventually pose a threat to Goedert's usage, but early on, the vet should be started with confidence. Philadelphia hosts the Commanders who surrendered the fourth-most fantasy points per game to tight ends in 2025.PositiveRoleSep 11, 2026
Goedert is a strong start in Week 1 against the Commanders. As the Eagles get comfortable in OC Sean Mannion's new scheme and work new receivers like Makai Lemon and Dontayvion Wicks into the offense, Goedert is expected to serve as the No. 2 pass-catcher behind DeVonta Smith. Washington has made an effort to improve its defense, but this is a unit that gave up the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2025.PositiveProjectionSep 8, 2026
Dallas Goedert is ranked as the No. 10 tight end for Week 1 fantasy football.PositiveRoleSep 3, 2026
Goedert's upside is immense with A.J. Brown no longer an Eagle. He is positioned to be the second option in Philadelphia's offense behind DeVonta Smith and clearly has the trust of Jalen Hurts. He accounted for 40.9% of the team's targets inside the 10-yard line, which resulted in a career-high 11 TDs in 2025.NegativeValueAug 27, 2026
Goedert finished as TE5 in 2025 but is currently being drafted as TE15, making him a value candidate despite TD regression risk. While his target share inside the five will decline from last season's insane levels, the Playbook projects his production can be made up elsewhere to justify his current ADP. If the Eagles offense bounces back as a whole, Goedert represents a great punt option in fantasy football.NegativeRoleAug 20, 2026
The source selected Goedert as the primary TE but identified age (31) as a risk factor for potential decline. Goedert was chosen as part of a balanced roster construction, with the source later grabbing Dalton Schultz as TE insurance in case Goedert "falls off a cliff."NegativeValueAug 19, 2026
Goedert finished as the TE6 in fantasy points per game last season and has finished as a top-12 fantasy TE on a PPG basis for five straight seasons; however, his 5.5 targets per game over that span ranks only 17th among all tight ends, and his career-high 11 touchdowns last season played a big role in carrying him—prior to last season, Goedert had never produced more than five touchdowns in any season, suggesting last year's production may not be sustainable; taking him in the ninth round is not preferred when Isaiah Likely is available later.NegativeProjectionAug 12, 2026
Positioned as a fringe low-end TE1, indicating borderline starter status with limited upside.PositiveProjectionAug 11, 2026
Dallas Goedert ranks fourth among tight ends in 2025 half-PPR scoring with 155.1 points; under Tight End Premium (1.0 PPR for TEs), his scoring increases to 186.6 points, a 31.5-point gain that elevates his weekly value in premium TE formats.NegativeBustAug 7, 2026
Touchdown regression is a lock off 11 last season and his YPC fell to a new low. Positioned as a TE fade.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Goedert has the best chance of seeing more volume in 2026 than last season among the three tight ends discussed; the Eagles swapped A.J. Brown with Makai Lemon, Eli Stowers, and Dontayvion Wicks, and some of those looks will marginally trickle down to Goedert. He can't repeat his career-high 11 TDs from last year, but the Eagles allowed him to touch the ball at the goal line on tush-push variants, suggesting continued red-zone opportunity.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Goedert is projected to outscore George Kittle and Travis Kelce despite TE12 ADP. The source argues that all three legacy tight ends are well out of their prime—Goedert and Kelce don't move the same, and Kittle's return after Jan. 14 Achilles surgery is concerning despite looking like a stud last year. While all three teams are in good shape offensively (Eagles 14th, 49ers and Chiefs 7th and 11th in projected points), Goedert has the best chance of seeing more volume in 2026 than last season. The Eagles swapped A.J. Brown with Makai Lemon, Eli Stowers, and Dontayvion Wicks, and some of those looks will trickle down to Goedert. While he can't repeat career-high 11 TDs, the Eagles allowed him to touch the ball at the goal line on tush-push variants.PositiveProjectionAug 3, 2026
Goedert has sat between 3.7 and 4.6 receptions per game in seven straight seasons, including last year (4-40-0.7 per game), with a target rate consistently that of a fringe TE1. Last year was an outlier with a career-high 11 TDs, more than his totals over his previous three seasons combined. The Eagles were using him as a quick-pitch change-up to the Tush Push, which caught defenses off guard in 2025 but won't in 2026. Goedert should be much closer to his TE9 expected PPR ranking rather than his TE5 overall finish.NegativeValueJul 30, 2026
Goedert is listed at $10 salary in the source's tiering system, placing him in the 'Talk Them Up, Talk Them Down' category alongside Kelce and Kincaid, indicating a mixed risk-reward profile without specific commentary provided.NegativeProjectionNo date
Goedert is one of two tight ends who scored a decent amount last year; however, both his team and Johnson's team selected tight ends fairly high in the draft who could start eating into their targets.NegativeProjectionNo date
Ranked Tier III (#14 overall); will be at least 31 when the season kicks off; could still turn in a Top-5 TE season this year but will not be expensive in draft season.
