Dallas Goedert's TE1 Stock Jumps After Big Opener

Wednesday, September 16, 7:20 AM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert picked up where he left off last season, catching four of five targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-22 win over Washington. He led Philadelphia in receiving yards despite Jalen Hurts attempting only 25 passes, and his five targets were second on the team. Goedert scored 11 times in 2025, so another two-touchdown performance immediately makes last year's breakout look a little harder to dismiss as touchdown luck. The 77 yards matter just as much. Goedert topped that mark only twice all of last season, and Philadelphia now has a different-looking target tree after trading A.J. Brown during the offseason. DeVonta Smith remains the top receiving option, but Goedert showed in Week 1 that there is room for him to stay heavily involved. His fantasy stock is clearly higher coming out of the opener, with another top-10 tight end season looking more realistic than it did a week ago.

Mason Taylor Faces Crowded Tight End Picture in Week 1

Saturday, September 12, 7:54 AM

New York Jets tight end Mason Taylor enters his second season after catching 44 of 65 targets for 369 yards and one touchdown across 13 games as a rookie. Taylor remains in position to start, but the Jets added first-round pick Kenyon Sadiq and still have Jeremy Ruckert in the rotation. Sadiq practiced fully this week after dealing with a groin injury, giving New York another athletic option in the passing game. Garrett Wilson's return also restores the clear top target for new quarterback Geno Smith. Taylor averaged only 8.4 yards per reception last season, so he needs either more volume or more scoring opportunities to become a dependable fantasy option. RotoBaller ranks Taylor TE42 for Week 1. He is best left out of standard lineups, including most two-tight-end formats, until the Jets show how the routes and targets will be divided.
