Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Chig Okonkwo

Friday, December 5, 10:24 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert tallied fewer than 30 yards for the third straight game in last week's loss to the Chicago Bears. Goedert's scoreless streak has now extended to four games, and he has totaled just 11 targets since Week 11. His recent woes may continue on Monday night as Philly travels to Los Angeles to meet the Chargers, who allow the sixth-least amount of fantasy points to tight ends this season. At this point, Goedert has betrayed what trust is left in him several times. If all of his touchdowns on the season were wiped off the board, he'd have one, arguably two strong showings under his belt. Especially when faced with a strong defense, he should be considered a low-end TE2 in Week 14.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo hasn't emerged as a consistent fantasy option in his fourth season, recording 39 receptions for 406 yards on 51 targets, and is still looking for his first touchdown through 12 games. Okonkwo has been sharing snaps with rookie tight end Gunnar Helm, who ran more routes than Okonkwo for the first game this season in Week 13 against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Even in a Titans offense that has arguably the worst wide receiver group in the league with Calvin Ridley (leg) out for the season, Okonkwo hasn't emerged as a go-to target for rookie quarterback Cameron Ward. The 26-year-old tight end carries limited upside headed into Sunday's matchup against the Cleveland Browns and should be viewed as a TE3 option.
