Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Jake Ferguson

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (groin) will practice in a limited capacity on Tuesday due to a groin injury, according to Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Goedert is a new addition to the team's injury report. Missed time has been a consistent issue for Goedert throughout his career, as he's missed at least three games in four out of his last five seasons. The 30-year-old is an efficient receiving tight end who typically does not see many targets in the Eagles' run-heavy offense. However, Goedert could be a great value early in the season if current injuries to A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (groin) keep the Eagles' top two wide receivers sidelined for a significant stretch.

Dallas Cowboys tight end Jake Ferguson (back) did not play during the team's preseason contest against the Baltimore Ravens on Saturday. The 26-year-old was sidelined near the start of the month, and although he returned to the practice field roughly one week ago, it appears that he wasn't healthy enough to play in Dallas' second preseason game. As a result, the Cowboys gave more passing opportunities to tight ends John Stephens Jr. and Princeton Fant. However, in reality, Devyn Spann-Ford and Luke Schoonmaker would be first in line to replace Ferguson if he's unable to suit up in Week 1. He's still an intriguing fringe top-12 fantasy tight end with Dak Prescott back under center this year. Even last year, while catching passes from both Prescott and Cooper Rush, Ferguson caught 59 passes for 494 yards. He did not catch a touchdown, finishing 2024 with double-digit fantasy points in just three of his 14 games. However, positive touchdown regression could vault him back up into the top-12 or top-15 range this year.
