Dallas Goedert Not Seen At Wednesday's Practice

Wednesday, October 30, 4:12 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) was not seen at Wednesday's practice according to Jeff McLane of the Inquirer. The 29-year-old has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in the opening quarter of their Week 6 game against the Cleveland Browns. If Goedert is unable to return to practice he could be in danger of missing his third-straight game. While Goedert has been sidelined, No.2 tight end Grant Calcaterra has taken the lead and enjoyed a productive game last weekend as he brought in all three of his targets for 58 yards. Calcaterra should be viewed as a high-end TE2 this weekend if he gets the start facing the Jaguars who have allowed the 23rd-most PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.

Chig Okonkwo Still Not a Great Option Against Lions in Week 8

Friday, October 25, 6:48 PM

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo faces the Lions in a cross-conference matchup this Sunday in Detroit. Okonkwo had his highest yardage total of the season last week with 50, almost tripling his next highest output (16). It's been that kind of year for the young tight end and this Titans' offense as a whole. DeAndre Hopkins being moved to Kansas City opens up some extra targets that could go Okonkwo's way, but he is about to face a defense that has allowed the second-fewest yards to tight ends on the year. Mason Rudolph drawing the start would give Okonkwo the slightest viability in deeper-leagues, but his upside is still limited.
