Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Luke Musgrave

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has totaled his most receptions in a two-game window this season in the past two weeks, following up an eight-catch game against the Chargers with six more against the Raiders. After a lengthy slump, Goedert has stepped his game back up lately, also breaking his five-game scoring drought versus Las Vegas. On Saturday, he's up against a Commanders defense that allows the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Just last week, the Giants' leading receiver against Washington was TE Theo Johnson who racked up 72 yards. It seems like a perfect storm for Goedert as his involvement has ramped up; he was the only Eagles player to have more than three targets in their most recent contest, finishing with seven. As fantasy playoffs continue, consider him a low-end TE1 in Week 16.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave is coming off the best game of his 2025 season in Week 15 and will look to keep that momentum going when the Packers travel to Soldier Field to take on the Chicago Bears. After Tucker Kraft's season-ending injury, Musgrave ran a season-high 81% of routes and 76% of snaps for the Packers in Week 10, but has been in a rotation with fellow tight ends John FitzPatrick and Josh Whyle for the next four weeks. Last week, Musgrave had his second-highest routes (52%) and snap share (52%) of the season as the tight end rotation condensed down to Musgrave and FitzPatrick. Musgrave put up a season-high six targets and four receptions for 52 yards in that game. Still, a rotation of any kind does little in the way of upside for Musgrave for fantasy purposes. Against Chicago in Week 16, Musgrave is a low-end fantasy tight end option, where you're hoping he gets into the end zone.
