Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Jordan Akins

Thursday, April 17, 1:04 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is a name to watch on the trade market as the 2025 NFL draft approaches, sources tell FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Interested teams think that the Eagles would be open to future draft picks in exchange for Goedert if they don't receive any 2025 draft capital. The 30-year-old veteran is heading into the final year of his deal in 2025 and could be looking for a new contract. Goedert helped the Eagles win the Super Bowl over the Kansas City Chiefs in convincing fashion, but he had only 42 receptions on 52 targets for 496 yards and two touchdowns in 10 regular-season games in 2024 while missing time with hamstring and knee injuries. His 496 receiving yards were his fewest since his rookie season in 2018. Goedert has been a borderline TE1/2 in fantasy, but a trade away from Philly could actually benefit him.

Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Akins caught six of his eight targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in a 35-10 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Week 18. Akins caught Bailey Zappe's lone touchdown pass in the contest on a 16-yard reception in the fourth quarter. The veteran tight end turned in a strong showing starting in place of the injured David Njoku (knee) over Cleveland's final two games of the season, catching 12 passes for 109 yards and a touchdown. Akins is an unrestricted free-agent heading into the offseason as he will hope to parlay his strong performance at the end of the season into a new contract somewhere in 2025.
