Who Should I Start? Adam Shaheen or Dallas Goedert

While dealing with injuries at the position, the Buffalo Bills worked out former Chicago Bears tight end Adam Shaheen on Monday. Dawson Knox (wrist) is currently on Injured Reserve and will miss at least three more games. Shaheen was with the Miami Dolphins last year, but he didn't play at all due to a knee injury that landed him on Injured Reserve. The 29-year-old former second-round pick by the Chicago Bears hasn't played in an NFL since 2021, when he had 12 receptions on 16 targets for 110 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games (seven starts). Shaheen will remain well off the fantasy radar, even if he's signed by Buffalo. Rookie Dalton Kincaid had a big game in last Thursday night's win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and will have TE1 upside moving forward with Knox on the shelf.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert keeps managers guessing as he registered one of his best performances of the season last week against the Chargers. After a frustrating four-week stretch, Goedert racked up eight receptions for 78 yards on 10 targets against Los Angeles, all of which would be season highs if not for his Week 6 game against the Giants. This upcoming Sunday, the eight-year veteran will face off against the Raiders, who allow the fourth-least amount of fantasy points to his position. The last time Las Vegas let an opposing tight end record more than 50 receiving yards was eight weeks ago when Travis Kelce had 54. Goedert is the definition of a boom-or-bust player, so this week comes down to a toss-up decision: do managers ride the momentum of last week's Goedert, or do they see the tight end trend against the Raiders and hold off? He's a risky start for fantasy playoffs, and should be seen as a fine TE2 for Week 15.
