Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 8 according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Goedert will now miss his second straight game since leaving Week 6 early due to a hamstring injury. The 29-year-old was unable to participate in any team practices this week. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression next week as he sets his sight on returning in Week 9 to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. As a result, No. 2 tight end Grant Calcaterra will be at the top of the depth chart once again. He is best to fade in all formats as he caught just one pass serving as the starter last weekend.

Cleveland Browns tight end Jordan Akins caught all three of his targets for 22 yards and a touchdown in a 34-13 loss to the Washington Commanders in Week 5. Akins scored Cleveland's only touchdown in garbage time as he hauled in a 10-yard score with 7:06 left in the game, cutting the Commanders' lead to 34-12. The veteran tight end was expected to see his role scaled back with David Njoku returning from an ankle injury in Week 5, but Njoku injured his knee during the loss to the Commanders and could be looking at another absence. Akins is worth a look in deep leagues and tight-end premium formats if Njoku ends up missing time with his latest ailment.
