Who Should I Start? CJ Uzomah or Dallas Goedert

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 (hamstring) will not play in Week 7, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Goedert left last weekend's game early with a hamstring injury and did not participate in any team practices this week. The 29-year-old will now shift his focus on returning in Week 8 to face the Cincinnati Bengals. As a result, Grant Calcaterra will move up to the top of the depth chart and could be worth a look as a replacement in deeper formats, as he caught four passes for 67 yards last weekend when filling in Goedert.
