Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Mike Gesicki

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.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Mike Gesicki finished Sunday's matchup with the Eagles by catching seven of his eight targets for 73 yards. With Tee Higgins (quadriceps) ruled out ahead of this one, most assumed Andrei Iosivas would benefit the most. However, that wasn't the case, with Gesicki leading his team in receiving yards to end the week. Unfortunately, his efforts weren't enough to get the Bengals to .500. Without question, Gesicki will be trending after his performance in Week 8. But unless Higgins is ruled out for the Week 9 clash with the Raiders, Gesicki isn't the safest fantasy option.
