Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Dalton Kincaid

Monday, April 27, 5:13 AM

Tight end rooms around the league were shaken up when nine tight ends were selected within the first three rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft, and one of the incumbents who will now have to fend off rookie competition is the Philadelphia Eagles' Dallas Goedert. The Eagles spent the 54th overall pick on Vanderbilt prospect Eli Stowers, making him the second tight end selected in a loaded class. The nine-year veteran Goedert finished 2025 with 591 yards and 11 touchdowns on 60 receptions but will need to reestablish himself among a completely reworked group of pass catchers. With the team expected to trade away A.J. Brown on or shortly after June 1st, Philadelphia added Marquise Brown and Dontayvion Wicks through free agency and trade before spending a first-round pick on USC wide receiver Makai Lemon and a second on Stowers. The good news for the 2018 second-round pick is that with Stowers profiling more as a jumbo slot than a traditional Y-tight end, none of the new additions truly threaten Goedert's existing role. After re-upping on his own one-year deal this offseason, Goedert could still see more involvement than Philadelphia's most recent moves would suggest, making him a short-term bargain for depth-seeking dynasty managers at RotoBaller's TE22.
