Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or James Hurst

Philadelphia Phillies tight end Dallas Goedert said on ESPN's NFL Live that new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo is expanding the ways that quarterback Jalen Hurts can get him the ball. "I'm really excited for Kevin," Goedert said. "He's been with us since Nick Sirianni got here. He's waited his turn to get this opportunity. Throughout OTAs, I've really loved what he's doing with the offense. Little changes here and there and I'm really excited for the opportunity just to with the connection I grew with him the last four years. What he sees in me in different ways that he's going to get me the ball I'm really excited for." It's worth taking note of, but at best, Goedert will remain the No. 3 target for Hurts behind wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, while running back Saquon Barkley will also remain heavily involved. Goedert played in only 10 regular-season games due to injuries in 2024 and will be on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy drafts this fall.

Veteran offensive tackle James Hurst announced his retirement from the NFL on Wednesday, marking the end of a 10-year professional career. The 32-year-old was originally undrafted out of North Carolina in the 2014 class and signed by the Baltimore Ravens as a free agent. He spent six seasons with Baltimore before four campaigns with the New Orleans Saints. Hurst played in 150 games with 95 starts, so he clearly exceeded expectations and is a feel-good story for undrafted prospects.
