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.

Goedert finished 2025 as TE6 in fantasy points per game, the second top-six finish in his career, driven by a career-high 11 receiving touchdowns. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, he ranked eighth in target share (18.4%), 33rd in yards per route run (1.43), 17th in receiving yards per game (39.4), eighth in first-read share (21%), seventh in red zone targets (15), and 21st in first downs per route run (0.083). Washington added firepower to pass rush and secondary this offseason, but they allowed the most yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends last year.

Goedert averaged a career-low 9.9 yards per catch last season and only 7.2 yards per target—more than a full yard below his career average. He scored 11 touchdowns in 2026, but six of them came on shovel passes inside the 5-yard line, which may have been a unique page from the Kevin Patullo playbook and not something to count on now that Sean Mannion is calling plays for the Eagles. However, with A.J. Brown gone, Goedert figures to help take up the slack in the Eagles' passing game.

Dallas Goedert scores an 80 on the Covers Anytime Touchdown Value Index (CATVI) with a 30.3% Kalshi price; the matchup, scoring environment, red-zone role, role certainty, and relative price all point to a buy in Week 1; the Eagles' passing offense could improve with more looks under center for Jalen Hurts, and the loss of A.J. Brown opens up additional targets for the tight end, though matching last year's 11 TDs will be challenging.

31 years old but back for 2026 as the Eagles' top tight end after a career-high 11 touchdown catches last season.

Goedert is identified as a key defensive matchup for Washington, having set a career high with 11 receiving touchdowns last season (10 in the red zone) on 60 catches for 591 yards. He caught a touchdown against Washington in their late-season 2025 meeting. The source notes that Washington allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends of any defense last season, a statistic the new defensive scheme under Daronte Jones was specifically designed to address. Goedert's red-zone production and experience present a significant challenge for rookie linebacker Sonny Styles' coverage ability.

The source highlights Dallas Goedert as a key matchup threat for Washington's defense in Week 1. Goedert set a career high with 11 receiving touchdowns last season—10 of them in the red zone—on 60 catches for 591 yards. He caught a touchdown against Washington in their late-season meeting in 2025. Washington allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends of any defense last season, a statistic the new defensive scheme under Jones was specifically designed to address. The source notes that rookie linebacker Sonny Styles' coverage ability is the most important rookie trait on the entire defense, and his first real NFL test is matching up with one of the best red-zone tight ends in football.

Goedert could be a particularly big factor in Week 1 for the Eagles against Washington. The Eagles' passing game matches up brilliantly on all fronts against a bad Commanders defense. Projected No. 2 wide receiver Makai Lemon missed a good amount of the preseason with a hamstring issue, and his depth-chart listing as the team's primary punt returner hints he might have a limited role in the offense initially, shifting more of the focus to the tight end. Between Goedert (Week 16) and Grant Calcaterra (Week 18), Eagles starting tight ends totaled 22.3 fantasy points in their two 2025 meetings with the Commanders, who didn't improve their secondary substantially during the offseason.

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).

NegativeDepth ChartSep 9, 2026Yahoo Sports NFL
The Eagles kept four tight ends on their initial 53-man roster (Goedert, Johnny Mundt, Eli Stowers, E.J. Jenkins), but the position still feels unfinished. The source expresses concern about depth if Goedert misses games, noting that second-round rookie Stowers doesn't appear ready to contribute and Mundt is a solid blocker but not a receiving threat. The source suggests GM Howie Roseman may attempt to add at tight end, potentially via trade or by calling 35-year-old Zach Ertz.
