Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Colby Parkinson

Friday, September 12, 4:00 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Goedert recorded seven catches for 44 yards in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys, but also suffered a knee sprain that will force him to miss at least one game. Without Goedert in the lineup, the fantasy outlook for Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is significantly improved. In the seven games Goedert missed last season, Smith scored six receiving touchdowns. In the five games where they shared the field, Smith scored just one.

Los Angeles Rams tight end Colby Parkinson (shoulder) is listed as doubtful to play in Week 2 against the Tennessee Titans. He missed all three practices this week while recovering from an AC joint sprain that he suffered last Sunday against the Houston Texans. Parkinson was actually able to finish last week's game after receiving medical attention, but evidently, the Rams aren't going to send him onto the field for Week 2. Instead, look for Terrance Ferguson to make his NFL debut in a tight end committee that also features Tyler Higbee and Davis Allen. None of these Rams tight ends can be trusted in fantasy football, but Ferguson is an intriguing stash in dynasty leagues.
