Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Dalton Schultz

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has now caught a touchdown in consecutive games for the first time since Weeks 5 and 6 after scoring against the Commanders. However, Goedert's usage fell back down to earth, finishing with just three catches for 32 yards on three targets. And this week, Goedert will have a steep uphill battle as he travels to Buffalo to take on the defense allowing the fewest fantasy points to tight ends this year. Hope was restored after back-to-back 70+-yard games for Goedert, but his most recent performance once again showed his inconsistency with catches and yardage. Unless managers believe in a late-season end zone resurgence continuing, it's probably best to set expectations low for Goedert. He's a mid-tier TE2 option this week.

Houston Texans tight end Dalton Schultz has been a solid PPR contributor this season, and he can be a great plug-and-play option in Week 18 if he's available on the waiver wire. Schultz and the rest of the Texans' starters will be playing in their Week 18 game against the Colts, according to coach DeMeco Ryans, since the team still has a chance to win the division. Schultz has a team-high 78 catches on the season for 704 receiving yards and three touchdowns. He had three catches for 19 yards in the team's win over the Chargers, giving him at least three catches in 14 of his 16 games this season. Two of his touchdowns have come in the last three weeks as well, making him a strong option to play at tight end if you need a solution at the position for the season finale.
