Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is heading to Injured Reserve on Saturday because of the knee injury he suffered in the Week 13 victory over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday, according to sources. It means that Goedert will have to miss at least the next four games, but the plan is for him to be back at full speed heading into the playoffs. Technically, he'll be eligible to return for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival New York Giants, but it sounds like we won't see Goedert again until the postseason. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can send him to the waiver wire for a healthy body. The 29-year-old also missed a few games earlier in 2024 due to injuries and he'll finish 2024 with 38 catches, 441 yards and two scores on 46 targets in nine games. Grant Calcaterra becomes a TE2 streaming option for the final five games in fantasy with Goedert now sidelined.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Week 14's tilt against the Carolina Panthers, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Philly. Goedert sustained this injury during last weekend's victory over the Baltimore Ravens. The tight end was initially deemed week-to-week following the game. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status next week, as he could be in danger of missing more time. This week, Goedert was unable to participate in any team practices this week. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Grant Calcaterra to see most of the snaps facing a weak Carolina secondary. Calcaterra should be viewed as a decent TE2 this weekend as the Panthers have surrendered the most PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) was not seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Friday, suggesting that he'll eventually be ruled out for the Week 14 contest versus the visiting Carolina Panthers on Sunday. Goedert was labeled week-to-week after getting hurt in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens and hasn't practiced at all this week. Fantasy managers should have already moved him to their benches. The good news for the Eagles is that it looks like receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has practiced in full this week and appears to be ready to return after a two-game absence. With Goedert likely out against Carolina, expect Grant Calcaterra to see more pass-catching opportunities in one of the best offenses in the league. In three games that Goedert missed earlier this year due to injury, Calcaterra caught all nine of his targets for 93 yards.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) remains out of practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with a knee injury. The 29-year-old had a productive day and caught a touchdown in Week 13 against the Baltimore Ravens but suffered an unfortunate ailment that is trending toward putting him out of action in Week 14. Goedert hasn't been a reliable fantasy option this season, but his potential absence raises the floor and ceiling of DeVonta Smith (hamstring) if he returns to the field in Week 14 after his two-game absence. That said, the Eagles can likely dominate the Carolina Panthers on the ground, so passing volume is unlikely to be there for Philly's pass-catchers.
Dec 5, 2024 2:34 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday after suffering a knee injury in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. Goedert has already missed three games this season and could be trending toward another absence. The 29-year-old has hauled in 38 passes for 441 yards and two touchdowns this year, but he has only produced more than 10 half-PPR fantasy points in two of his nine games. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) potentially returning to face the Carolina Panthers in Week 13, Philly might opt to be extra cautious with its star tight end. If he does not play, Grant Calcaterra is a potential deep-league streaming option against a Carolina defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game to tight ends.

After undergoing an MRI exam on Monday, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is considered week-to-week moving forward, according to a league source. Depending on his recovery, Goedert could be a candidate to land on short-term Injured Reserve, which would keep him out for at least four games, but his knee injury isn't season-ending. Earlier in the day, it was reported that Goedert's knee injury wasn't deemed serious, with the Eagles hoping for just a sprain. If Goedert were to land on IR, he wouldn't be eligible to return until the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival New York Giants, which would do fantasy managers no good with championship matchups typically coming in Week 17. For however long Goedert is sidelined, it will make Grant Calcaterra an intriguing TE2 sleeper in fantasy.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) played a big part in the team's win over the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday afternoon. He finished the game with three receptions for 35 yards and a touchdown on four targets but did pick up a knee injury in the process. According to Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer, the team originally believed the injury would be minor, but Goedert will undergo further testing on Monday. The team is still hoping for a sprain but the severity won't be clear until after the tests.
Dec 2, 2024 9:50 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert remains an appealing option in fantasy football, especially given his potential to command additional targets and volume during Sunday's Week 13 game against the Baltimore Ravens. Goedert has 10 targets over his last two games, and while his reception and yardage totals have been down, that could change this Sunday against Baltimore. The Ravens have already allowed the fifth-most catches and third-most receiving yards to opposing tight ends, pointing to numerous opportunities for Goedert to get involved through the air this weekend. Furthermore, there's an outside chance the Eagles could be without DeVonta Smith (hamstring). If so, there would be even more targets available for Goedert, who finds himself in the low-end TE1 range for fantasy purposes.
Nov 30, 2024 9:47 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught four of five targets for 19 yards during the team's 37-20 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday night. Many were hopeful that the 29-year-old would do more with DeVonta Smith (hamstring) ruled out, but this game was dominated by Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, and no one else. The target share was good enough to keep firing him up in good matchups, but because of the star power Philadelphia has, Goedert will remain boom-or-bust heading into Week 13's showdown with the Baltimore Ravens.
Nov 25, 2024 9:28 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will go on the road to take on the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12 on Sunday night. The 29-year-old has finished as a top 12 fantasy option the past two weeks since returning from injury and should see an increased target share with No. 2 wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) ruled out. The matchup with the Rams is great, as they allow the seventh-most fantasy points per game to tight ends and will have their hands full trying to slow down Saquon Barkley and the Eagles run game. Receivers Jahan Dotson and Johnny Wilson will see their roles increase as well, but they have not shown anything special in 2024 and Goedert is averaging six targets per game in ones he has not left early due to injury. Fire up the veteran with confidence in Week 12.
Nov 23, 2024 7:32 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught all five of his targets for 61 yards during the team's 26-18 win over the Washington Commanders on Thursday night. The veteran had a big catch and run of over 30 yards that almost turned into a costly turnover, but backup Grant Calcaterra recovered it. Goedert's 61 yards were the second-highest on the team Thursday behind only A.J. Brown. The Eagles were crushing the Commanders on the ground with Saquon Barkley, leading to another pedestrian performance for the Eagles pass catchers. With that said, by tight end standards this season, Goedert had a solid night and will be a fringe TE1 again next week against the LA Rams.
Nov 15, 2024 11:44 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will take on the Washington Commanders on Thursday night football in Week 11. The 29-year-old made his return to the field last week from a hamstring injury and found the end zone on a limited snap count. He picked up a DNP on Monday in practice with an ankle injury but was left off the final injury report Wednesday and is good to go for Thursday night. Washington is middle of the pack against fantasy tight ends this season, so the matchup should not scare anyone away from starting Goedert. With that said, there is a chance the Eagles will take a run-heavy approach in the contest to keep the high-powered Washington offense off the field as much as possible, potentially leading to a light target share for the veteran. Consider Goedert a fringe TE1 in Week 11.
Nov 14, 2024 8:22 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday. Goedert returned from injury in Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys and scored a respectable 10.5 fantasy points. He also scored his first touchdown on the season in Week 10. Prior to his injury, Goedert had been one of the best tight ends in fantasy so his return to the lineup is a welcome one for fantasy managers. Goedert draws a solid matchup in Week 11 against the Washington Commanders. Both teams' defenses have improved as the season has gone on but both offenses are potent and should generate a lot of passing attempts. That bodes well for Goedert who is the third option on his team behind wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith. Although Goedert was listed as a DNP on Monday, his activity on Tuesday suggests that he should suit up once again in Week 11. He should be a solid fantasy option if healthy.
Nov 12, 2024 6:22 PM EST
The Philadelphia Eagles listed tight end Dallas Goedert (ankle) as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report since they didn't actually hold an official practice. Goedert missed three games due to injury but returned in the Week 10 blowout win over the division-rival Dallas Cowboys to catch two of his three targets for 25 yards and a touchdown. With the 29-year-old not reportedly suffering any setbacks on Sunday, he's likely just being rested on a short week before playing again this Thursday night against the division-rival Washington Commanders. Check back on Wednesday for Philly's final injury report before Thursday's game. Goedert is at least in the low-end TE1 conversation when healthy, but volume could be an issue with all of the team's receivers healthy at the moment. If Goedert's ankle is an issue this Thursday, Grant Calcaterra could step into a bigger role again.
Nov 11, 2024 6:48 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert converted his three targets into two catches for 25 yards and one touchdown during Sunday's Week 10 win over the Dallas Cowboys. Although his volume was quite low, he salvaged his fantasy performance by finding the end zone in Philadelphia's big 34-6 win. The 29-year-old is averaging 12.9 fantasy points per game (PPR) this year and should be treated as a mid-to-low TE1 heading into Week 11 versus the Washington Commanders.
Nov 11, 2024 1:10 AM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) is off the injury report and expected to return to action in Week 10 to face the Dallas Cowboys. Goedert has been sidelined since sustaining a hamstring injury in the opening quarter during their Week 6 tilt against the Cleveland Browns. In his absence, Grant Calcaterra has been deployed as the No.1 tight end. Before the injury, Goedert averaged an impressive 75.3 yards and 13.5 PPR points per game throughout the first four weeks. Fantasy managers should feel confident inserting Goedert back into their lineup as a safe TE1.
Nov 8, 2024 4:50 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) practiced in full for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Goedert injured his hamstring in Week 6 against the Cleveland Browns and hasn't played since, but he's been practicing in full this week and appears to be on track to return to action against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys this Sunday in Week 10. It means that Grant Calcaterra is set to go back to backup duties at the position. Although he hasn't played in several weeks, if Goedert is active, he'll be back in play for fantasy managers as a low-end TE1/high-end TE2, especially if receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is out or limited. Goedert is tied for 10th among TEs with 8.4 half-PPR points per game in only five games this year, catching 24 of his 29 targets for 301 yards and no touchdowns. The Cowboys have been a top-12 matchup for opposing TEs the last three weeks in fantasy.
Nov 7, 2024 6:29 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) put in a full practice on Wednesday. Goedert injured his hamstring in Week 6 and hasn't played since, and Wednesday was his first practice session as well. It's an indication that he'll be ready to go to play in this Sunday's divisional clash against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 10. We'll have to see if Goedert can get through the rest of the practice week without suffering a setback, but if he does, he'll be on the low-end TE1/high-end TE2 map for fantasy managers, and he'll have even more upside if receiver A.J. Brown (knee) is unable to play. Grant Calcaterra has had a bigger role the last three weeks with Goedert on the sideline, but he'll lose all of his TE2 streaming intrigue if Goedert is back against Dallas. In the two games before his injury, Goedert had 17 catches on 19 targets for 232 yards and no touchdowns.
Nov 6, 2024 7:30 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday following three consecutive weeks of logging "DNPs". The 29-year-old suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns and has been sidelined ever since. In the game before his injury, Goedert caught 10 passes for 170 yards, but A.J. Brown was out with a hamstring injury and DeVonta Smith left the game with a concussion. Brown suffered a knee injury in Week 9, but he could play in Week 10. Goedert has spike week upside in any game, but his floor is low while sharing an offense with two star wide receivers. If Goedert returns to action on Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, consider him a high-end TE2 play with a wide range of outcomes. If he plays but Brown does not, he can be upgraded to a low-end TE1 option for Week 10.
Nov 6, 2024 2:47 PM EST
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) will not play in Week 9. Goedert has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in the opening frame of their Week 6 tilt against the Cleveland Browns. The 29-year-old has also been unable to practice during this stretch and will now attempt to return to action in Week 10 to face the Dallas Cowboys in a pivotal divisional matchup. Before the injury, Goedert was enjoying a nice start to the season as he averaged a solid 13.5 PPR points per game through the first four weeks Fantasy managers should expect Grant Calcaterra to serve as the top tight end in Philadelphia this weekend and is worth a look in deeper formats as the Jacksonville Jaguars have allowed the 23rd-most PPR points to opposing tight ends this season.
