Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Brenton Strange

Saturday, December 13, 12:46 PM

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.

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange should lean on a lackluster Jets defense in Week 15 and return to the top end of the TE leaderboard. The 6-foot-4 Strange was the half-PPR TE5 in both Weeks 12 and 13 after missing five games due to a hip injury, but faltered with only 5.7 points last week, coming up just short of a touchdown. Strange would see six targets on the day, matching his average opportunity in '25. In fact, over the last three weeks, his 165 yards are fifth-best among TEs, and no other TE in the top 12 has an average depth of target above 10 in that span (his is 10.2). The Jets have tightened up on defense against the position lately, yet the seven TDs allowed to TEs is still a bottom-10 mark. Few others can boast a healthy red-zone role and a downfield presence for fantasy managers, making Strange a deserving top-10 option at TE.
