Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Kyle Pitts

Tuesday, October 3, 11:06 AM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert ranks 28th among NFL tight ends in yards (88) through four games of the season and hasn't scored a touchdown yet. Since 2021 Goedert ranks fifth among NFL tight ends in receiving yards with 1,620, which makes his slow start this year more alarming. He leads the league since 2021 in average yards after the catch (6.8) and ranks second in yards per catch (13.1). The 28-year-old is currently averaging a career-low 6.8 yards per touch. The Eagles coaching staff wants to get Goedert more involved and expect him to get going soon. "Trust me I promise you he's still part of the plan of us wanting to get him the football. We need to get him the football," head coach Nick Sirianni said.

Atlanta Falcons tight end Kyle Pitts was coming off a season-high nine targets in Week 3, but saw his workload take a significant hit this week. The Falcons offense struggled heavily to move the ball during the Week 4 matchup against Jacksonville Jaguars. Pitts hauled in two of his four targets for 21 yards in the loss. Fellow tight end Jonnu Smith has looked better than Pitts over the last few weeks. The hope is that Pitts gets back on track versus the Houston Texans next week. He'll fall into TE2 territory for that upcoming matchup.
