Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Khalil Shakir

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught all seven of his targets for 44 yards during Thursday's season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran pass-catcher was Jalen Hurts' preferred option in the passing game as he led the team in targets. Although he had a relatively low yardage total and wasn't able to find the end zone, fantasy managers should still be excited about his ability to produce with heavy volume headed his way on a consistent basis. Goedert remains a top-10 fantasy tight end heading into Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he has a high ceiling in an offense that continues to trend upward.

Buffalo Bills wide receivers Khalil Shakir (ankle) and Keon Coleman (groin) were both removed from Friday's final injury report and will be active on Sunday night for the Week 1 showdown against the Baltimore Ravens. Shakir was a full practice participant all week, while Coleman upgraded to a full practice on Friday after he was limited the first two days of the week. When asked if he was concerned about playing on Sunday, Colemansaid, "Nah." It won't be easily sledding on Sunday night for Buffalo's offense, but quarterback Josh Allen will have his top two receivers available in Shakir and Coleman. For fantasy purposes, both Shakir and Coleman should be viewed as more of WR4/flex options against a stout Ravens offense in a Bills offense that isn't afraid to spread things around. Many fantasy pundits are projecting a Year 2 breakout for Coleman.
