Who Should I Start? CJ Uzomah or Dallas Goedert

Wednesday, August 21, 9:44 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles released veteran tight end C.J. Uzomah on Wednesday. The Eagles signed Uzomah to a one-year pact in April and with the competition in camp, felt it necessary to cut the journeyman loose to free agency. Uzomah spent the last two seasons with the New York Jets after eight seasons with the Cincinnati Bengals. Playing sparingly for the Jets last season, Uzomah managed just eight receptions on 12 targets for 58 yards and a touchdown grab. The Eagles' depth chart at tight end comprises Dallas Goedert, Albert Okwuegbunam, and Grant Calcaterra.

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.
