Dallas Goedert Returns to Practice, Should Play on Sunday
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is back at practice on Wednesday, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. From what McLane understands, Goedert "should be able to play on Sunday" in the Week 5 clash in London with the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Eagles will see how the week goes before clearing Goedert to return this weekend, but fantasy managers have to be happy with the news. The 31-year-old veteran is recovering from a sprained right MCL in his knee that he suffered in the Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans. Goedert only had one catch for four yards in that game, but he caught four of five targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns in the season-opening win over the division-rival Washington Commanders and could be one of quarterback Jalen Hurts' top targets this weekend if he returns to face the Jaguars. Receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) could miss Sunday's game, and running backs Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) are both injured. Goedert should be in play as a TE1 in fantasy if he makes his return in Week 5.

Dallas Goedert Officially Ruled Out for Week 4
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 4 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, per Zach Berman of The Athletic. Goedert suffered a sprained MCL in Week 2 and was given a multi-week return timeline at the time of the injury, so it's not a surprise that he will return to action in Week 4. The Eagles did not place Goedert on Injured Reserve, which indicates that the team thinks he has a chance to return within four games of the injury. However, Week 4 will be his second straight game on the sidelines, and he's not guaranteed to return in Week 5 either. Philadelphia will also be without star wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) on Sunday, leaving the team down its two top pass-catchers. Eagles wideouts Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon are likely to see increased workloads, and tight end Zach Ertz could be a deep-league streamer option for fantasy managers in Week 4.

Dallas Goedert Does Not Practice on Thursday
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) officially did not practice on Thursday as the team prepares to face the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4. Goedert has now missed back-to-back practices with a sprained MCL that he suffered in Week 2's win over the Tennessee Titans. With Goedert's status remaining uncertain, tight ends Johnny Mundt, Zach Ertz, and E.J. Jenkins are all expected to have a role if he misses Sunday's matchup. While Ertz offers the most upside of the group, none of the three are fantasy-relevant options in Week 4. Fantasy managers should continue monitoring Goedert's practice status on Friday, but he appears unlikely to suit up against the Rams.

Dallas Goedert to Miss a Few Weeks With Sprained MCL
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) suffered a sprained MCL in his knee in the Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday and is expected to miss a few weeks, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. It is a big blow for the Eagles' offense going forward, as the next two men up on their TE depth chart are Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins. Goedert's injury will most likely mean more targets all around for receivers DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, and rookie first-rounder Makai Lemon. The 31-year-old Goedert had a big game in the Week 1 season-opening victory over the division-rival Washington Commanders, catching four of his five targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns, but he was able to reel in just one pass for four yards on two targets on Sunday against the Titans before his knee injury knocked him out. Because of Goedert's big role in the Eagles' passing game when healthy, fantasy managers should find a way to keep him stashed while he rehabs his MCL sprain.

Dallas Goedert Set to Undergo MRI on Monday
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his injury, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Rapoport noted that a player undergoing an MRI on their knee typically indicates that they'll miss time, but managers should stay tuned for further updates on his status. The 31-year-old exited during the first half of Sunday's win over the Titans and did not return, finishing Week 2 with just one catch for four yards. Goedert is a major part of the Eagles' offense, and he represents one of Jalen Hurts' most reliable and physical targets after AJ Brown was traded to New England during the offseason. The tight end had 77 yards and two catches during his last fully healthy game in Week 1, so the Eagles and fantasy managers will hope his absence doesn't last too long. Assuming he does miss time, Johnny Mundt would step up as the team's primary tight end.

Dallas Goedert Questionable to Return With Knee Injury
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is questionable to return against the Tennessee Titans, according to the team. Goedert had one catch for four yards before leaving the game. Johnny Mundt is next up at tight end if Goedert can't return, with E.J. Jenkins also available for Philadelphia.

Dallas Goedert's TE1 Stock Jumps After Big Opener
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert picked up where he left off last season, catching four of five targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-22 win over Washington. He led Philadelphia in receiving yards despite Jalen Hurts attempting only 25 passes, and his five targets were second on the team. Goedert scored 11 times in 2025, so another two-touchdown performance immediately makes last year's breakout look a little harder to dismiss as touchdown luck. The 77 yards matter just as much. Goedert topped that mark only twice all of last season, and Philadelphia now has a different-looking target tree after trading A.J. Brown during the offseason. DeVonta Smith remains the top receiving option, but Goedert showed in Week 1 that there is room for him to stay heavily involved. His fantasy stock is clearly higher coming out of the opener, with another top-10 tight end season looking more realistic than it did a week ago.

Dallas Goedert Set for a Major Role
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert looks poised to continue to be his team's top option at tight end and play a major role this season. With A.J. Brown departing to the Patriots, more targets will be available for the rest of the Eagles' pass-catchers. Last year, Goedert had a career-high 60 catches for 591 yards and an impressive total of 11 touchdowns. There was concern for Goedert's playing time after the Eagles drafted Eli Stowers, but Stowers struggled in training camp and the preseason and appears to need more development time. Stowers is an elite athlete but is still new to the position, which should leave Goedert as a major contributor in the Eagles' offense, especially early in the season. He should be a reliable low-end TE1 with higher upside if he keeps finding the end zone so regularly in 2026.

Dallas Goedert Set for Another High-Volume Season in 2026
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is primed for another high-volume season in 2026. With the departure of star wide receiver A.J. Brown, the entire Eagles' receiving core is set for a larger target share in 2026. Goedert hauled in 60 of 82 targets for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns last season with Brown in the mix. He scored 10 of the 11 touchdowns in the red zone, including eight within the six-yard line. The Eagles also have the easiest strength of schedule for tight ends next season, including a Week 1 matchup against the Washington Commanders, who allowed the fourth-most half-PPR fantasy points to tight ends last season. While he has flown under the radar for most of the fantasy draft process, Goedert should continue to produce low-end TE1 production in 2026.

Dallas Goedert Standing Out in Eagles Camp
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert "had a good day" during the team's joint practice with the New England Patriots on Thursday, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. Berman writes that as long as Goedert stays healthy, he will "be one of (Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts') top targets." Across 15 games in 2025, Goedert recorded 60 catches for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns on 82 targets. Goedert recorded just 24 total touchdown catches across his first seven NFL seasons going into 2025, so his spike in red zone production last season was a surprise and may not be fully sustainable in 2026. However, the Eagles lost a significant portion of their receiving production over the offseason by trading away wideout A.J. Brown. While the team added talent at wide receiver to replace Brown, Goedert has more established chemistry with Hurts than any Philadelphia pass-catcher outside of wide receiver DeVonta Smith. Heading into 2026, fantasy managers should view Goedert as a low-end TE1 option.

Dallas Goedert a Late-Round Value in 2026 Drafts
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was the fantasy TE3 in 2025, but even after an offseason of change left him in a potentially better spot heading into his ninth season, the veteran is regularly falling outside the top 12 of the position and sometimes going undrafted altogether in shallower leagues. The Eagles said goodbye to three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown, and while they spent a first-round pick on slot receiver Makai Lemon (hamstring) as part of the plan to replace his production, the rookie has been sidelined by a hamstring injury for much of his first training camp. Goedert could be hard-pressed to repeat his career-high 11 touchdowns from a season ago, but he remains one of the team's most valuable red zone weapons, keeping his ceiling high, while a potentially increased target share would serve to raise his floor. At RotoBaller's TE13, he's one of the more underrated players going at the tail end of 2026 drafts and is particularly attractive in two-tight-end builds.

Dallas Goedert Still Offers Short-Term Fantasy Value
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is still the starter. That part is not complicated. He caught a career-high 60 passes for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns on 82 targets last season, though fantasy managers should not chase the touchdown total. His previous high was five. Philadelphia brought him back on a one-year deal and then used the 54th overall pick on Eli Stowers. The succession plan is easy to see, but it probably will not arrive in 2026. Goedert enters camp atop the depth chart, and A.J. Brown's departure leaves targets to replace in an offense otherwise led by DeVonta Smith. Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Stowers will all get chances, so another huge scoring season is no lock. RotoBaller has Goedert at TE16 in redraft and TE18 in dynasty, while his current redraft ADP is TE15. That is about right. He is a reasonable late pick for managers who wait at tight end and a useful target for contenders needing a one-year answer. Rebuilders should look elsewhere.

Has Dallas Goedert Become Undervalued by Current Redraft ADP?
Across 15 games in 2025, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert finished as the TE6 in per-game PPR scoring by recording 60 catches for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns on 82 targets. The 31-year-old's fantasy production was largely fueled by a major spike in touchdown production, which has rightly led to expectations of regression in 2026. Across seven seasons with the Eagles before 2025, Goedert had averaged just 3.4 touchdown catches per season. However, the Eagles traded away star wide receiver A.J. Brown over the offseason and hired a new offensive coordinator in Sean Mannion, both of which could open up the team's passing offense and create more opportunities for Goedert. While fantasy managers should not expect him to repeat his TE6 production from a year ago, Goedert profiles as a value selection at his current redraft ADP of TE15.

Dallas Goedert Back Outside of TE1 Territory for 2026?
While much of the Philadelphia Eagles offense struggled through inconsistency in the 2025 season, tight end Dallas Goedert scored a career-high 11 receiving touchdowns en route to a TE4 finish, more than doubling his previous high from 2019. While he still figures to be a major part of the team's new-look unit, touchdown regression is almost certain to lower his ceiling, and a reworked depth chart has the potential to chip away at what's been a relatively safe fantasy floor for most of his career. While the most notable change to the Eagles' offense is the loss of three-time Pro Bowler A.J. Brown, the team added Hollywood Brown through free agency, traded for Dontayvion Wicks, and spent first and second-round picks in the 2026 NFL Draft on Makai Lemon and tight end Eli Stowers. How the distribution of targets now shakes out behind incumbent DeVonta Smith is somewhat up in the air under first-time offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. Mannion is the Eagles' fifth coordinator in as many seasons, but under head coach Nick Sirianni, the team has ranked no higher than 26th by passing percentage. With a potentially lower target share in another low-volume offense, Goedert may not see weekly fantasy viability in 2026, and as such, he is RotoBaller's TE16.

New Opportunity to Buy Low on Dallas Goedert in Dynasty Leagues
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert faces new competition within the position group, and yet he still remains a dynasty riser after his career-best finish (TE7) last season. Goedert had never finished higher than TE10 before last year, but he broke out in a huge way with 60 catches, 591 yards, and a whopping 11 touchdowns. We can expect some natural touchdown regression in 2026, and Goedert probably will lose some volume to rookie tight end Eli Stowers. Nevertheless, he remains a candidate for a large target share, especially after the Eagles traded away A.J. Brown and his 121 vacated targets. It's a contract year for Goedert, and at just 31 years old, he should remain an NFL starter for several years to come, regardless of whether he's in Philadelphia or somewhere else. The Stowers addition has lowered Goedert's cost in dynasty trades, making him an appealing buy-low target this offseason.

Dallas Goedert a Dynasty Bargain After Flurry of Eagles' Moves
Tight end rooms around the league were shaken up when nine tight ends were selected within the first three rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft, and one of the incumbents who will now have to fend off rookie competition is the Philadelphia Eagles' Dallas Goedert. The Eagles spent the 54th overall pick on Vanderbilt prospect Eli Stowers, making him the second tight end selected in a loaded class. The nine-year veteran Goedert finished 2025 with 591 yards and 11 touchdowns on 60 receptions but will need to reestablish himself among a completely reworked group of pass catchers. With the team expected to trade away A.J. Brown on or shortly after June 1st, Philadelphia added Marquise Brown and Dontayvion Wicks through free agency and trade before spending a first-round pick on USC wide receiver Makai Lemon and a second on Stowers. The good news for the 2018 second-round pick is that with Stowers profiling more as a jumbo slot than a traditional Y-tight end, none of the new additions truly threaten Goedert's existing role. After re-upping on his own one-year deal this offseason, Goedert could still see more involvement than Philadelphia's most recent moves would suggest, making him a short-term bargain for depth-seeking dynasty managers at RotoBaller's TE22.

Dallas Goedert Worth Selling High After Career-Best Campaign?
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert had the best season of his career in 2025, logging career-high marks in catches (60) and touchdowns (11). He also had 591 receiving yards. Goedert ultimately finished as the overall TE7 in PPR leagues, despite missing two games. His big season earned him a one-year contract extension in Philadelphia, where he's the undisputed No. 1 tight end and should maintain a sizable role, especially around the goal line. Goedert's ceiling could climb even higher if the Eagles trade away wide receiver A.J. Brown, because the 31-year-old tight end would assume a lot of his vacated targets. The Eagles are also expected to have an improved offense in 2026 under new offensive coordinator Sean Mannion. The stars are aligning for Goedert to have another top-10 finish in 2026, and there's no disputing that he has top-five upside. However, given that he's 31 and only under contract for one more season, he's worth selling high in dynasty leagues. As it stands, he ranks #22 among tight ends in RotoBaller's latest dynasty rankings.

Eagles Bring Back Dallas Goedert on a One-Year Deal
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed tight end Dallas Goedert to a one-year contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The two sides had been working hard to reach an agreement for the 2026 season, postponing the void date of his previous contract so they could have more time to negotiate. In the end, Goedert returns to Philadelphia for a ninth season. Not only is he the Eagles' top tight end, but he'll continue to be one of Jalen Hurts' favorite targets. The 31-year-old is coming off the best fantasy season of his career, ranking as the overall TE7 in PPR leagues with 60 catches, 591 yards, and 11 touchdowns. He could be headed for some touchdown regression, but he remains a top-10 fantasy tight end in 2026, especially now that we know how much the Eagles wanted to bring him back. It will be interesting to see how the Eagles' offense evolves from here, as it was previously reported that Goedert's and A.J. Brown's futures are interconnected. It has been implied that Philadelphia can only afford to keep one or the other going forward, so the return of Goedert further reinforces speculation that Brown will be traded this offseason.

Eagles, Dallas Goedert Push Back Void Date a Second Time to Monday
The Philadelphia Eagles and tight end Dallas Goedert have pushed the void date back on his contract a second time, this time to Monday, league sources told Zach Berman of The Athletic. The two sides had previously set a deadline for Friday afternoon. It most likely means that the two sides are interested in a reunion. There's a good chance the 31-year-old will agree to a new deal with Philly this weekend to return as the team's top pass-catching tight end. The former 49th overall pick in the second round of the 2018 draft out of South Dakota State, Goedert set career-highs in catches (60) and touchdowns (11) while going for 591 receiving yards in 15 regular-season starts. If Goedert does return, his role in the passing game could grow even further if the Eagles decide to trade disgruntled wideout A.J. Brown. As insurance, the Eagles added depth at tight end with Grant Calcaterra and Johnny Mundt in free agency earlier this week.

Eagles Buy Some Extra Time to Negotiate With Dallas Goedert
Philadelphia Eagles impending free-agent tight end Dallas Goedert's void date has been pushed back to Friday, a league source told Zach Berman of The Athletic. It's a procedural move that will give both sides a chance to work out a contract extension before he officially hits the open market. The 31-year-old and the Eagles could be close to getting something done to keep him around. The veteran tight end was originally drafted by the Eagles in the second round in 2018 out of South Dakota State, and he's been with the team for all eight years of his career. Goedert suited up for 15 regular-season games in 2025 and caught a career-high 60 passes on 82 targets for 591 yards and a career-best 11 touchdowns to finish as the TE3 in half-PPR scoring. If he returns to Philly, he'll be a big part of the Eagles' new-look offense again, but fantasy managers certainly won't be able to count on a repeat of double-digit touchdowns.
