Dallas Goedert Not Worried About Trade Speculation

Sunday, November 8, 1:12 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert could potentially be traded at the upcoming deadline. When asked about it, Goedert said that he wasn't worried about getting traded. Goedert noted that it's a possibility, but he's not trying to worry about it right now. Given how the season is going in Philly, Goedert is someone who could be traded at the deadline. The 31-year-old remains productive, but the Eagles could look to deal him and get younger at the position. If he gets moved, rookie Eli Stowers could see an expanded role down the stretch of the season. This situation is something that should be monitored over the next few days.

Chig Okonkwo A Borderline TE1/TE2 Option in Week 9 Against Rams

Friday, November 6, 8:32 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Chig Okonkwo profiles as a borderline TE1/TE2 option this week against the Rams, with Treylon Burks (foot) ruled out and Terry McLaurin (knee) out for the season. Okonkwo has caught multiple passes in every game this season, and since Jayden Daniels returned in Week 5, Okonkwo ranks 2nd among tight ends in yards per target (10,7) and first in explosive catch rate (30.8%), per Fantasy Points Data. The 27-year-old is still inconsistent for fantasy but should remain involved in Week 9 against the Rams. However, production could be tough to come by, as the Rams' defense ranks in the top eight in fantasy points allowed to tight ends, including holding superstars Brock Bowers and Trey McBride below their season average in yards per game. Okonkwo ranks as RotoBaller's TE18 for Week 9.
