Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Michael Mayer

Thursday, September 21, 10:13 AM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will go on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 on Monday night. The 28-year-old has gotten off to an incredibly slow start, tallying just six receptions for 22 yards through the first two weeks. While he was peppered with targets last Thursday against Minnesota, he got nowhere with them. This week's matchup against Tampa Bay is not much better. The Buccaneers have let up just 105 yards on 15 receptions to the position so far and have kept tight ends out of the end zone entirely. Goedert is talented enough to overcome a tough matchup, but it would be wise to manage expectations after the past few performances. Consider him a back-end TE1 in Week 3.

Las Vegas Raiders tight end Michael Mayer had two first-quarter catches in Saturday's preseason matchup with the Cowboys, finishing with 20 receiving yards. Mayer has reportedly had a promising training camp and will look to contribute alongside fellow newcomer TE Austin Hooper for the Raiders this season. Temper expectations for Mayer to start the season, who should be drafted as a low-end TE2.
