Eagles Bring Back Dallas Goedert on a One-Year Deal

Sunday, March 15, 12:39 PM

The Philadelphia Eagles have signed tight end Dallas Goedert to a one-year contract, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. The two sides had been working hard to reach an agreement for the 2026 season, postponing the void date of his previous contract so they could have more time to negotiate. In the end, Goedert returns to Philadelphia for a ninth season. Not only is he the Eagles' top tight end, but he'll continue to be one of Jalen Hurts' favorite targets. The 31-year-old is coming off the best fantasy season of his career, ranking as the overall TE7 in PPR leagues with 60 catches, 591 yards, and 11 touchdowns. He could be headed for some touchdown regression, but he remains a top-10 fantasy tight end in 2026, especially now that we know how much the Eagles wanted to bring him back. It will be interesting to see how the Eagles' offense evolves from here, as it was previously reported that Goedert's and A.J. Brown's futures are interconnected. It has been implied that Philadelphia can only afford to keep one or the other going forward, so the return of Goedert further reinforces speculation that Brown will be traded this offseason.

Drew Sample Still Not a Starting Fantasy Option in Week 4 Despite Workload

Saturday, September 27, 2:08 PM

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Drew Sample has only three catches this season, with one resulting in a trip to the end zone. The 29-year-old has logged more snaps than Mike Gesicki and Noah Fant (foot) through the first three weeks of the 2025 campaign. However, both have received more attention from quarterbacks Joe Burrow (toe) and Jake Browning. The Bengals offense is a mess, which has been a surprise to most. As a result, it's hard to trust anyone on that side of the ball. Granted, Sample should continue to lead the position in snaps, especially with his abilities as a blocker. Still, while he will likely add a few more scores to his resume before the end of the season, he's not consistent enough to be considered a starting fantasy option in any format in Week 4 versus the Broncos.
