Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Marquise Brown

Friday, September 5, 1:05 AM

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.

Kansas City Chiefs wide receiver Marquise Brown was targeted 16 times during Friday's loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. He accounted for 42 percent of the team's targets and finished the game with 10 catches for 99 yards. Brown saw an expanded role with Rashee Rice suspended and Xavier Worthy (shoulder) exiting in the first quarter, but even with those players absent, nobody expected Brown to have 16 targets and 10 receptions. These totals represented the second-highest marks of his career, as well as the highest since September 2022. He should be a WR3/FLEX next week and would sneak into FLEX territory if Worthy is forced to miss extended time.
