Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Najee Harris

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) has officially been ruled out for his team's Week 2 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. Goedert recorded seven catches for 44 yards in Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys, but also suffered a knee sprain that will force him to miss at least one game. Without Goedert in the lineup, the fantasy outlook for Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is significantly improved. In the seven games Goedert missed last season, Smith scored six receiving touchdowns. In the five games where they shared the field, Smith scored just one.

Los Angeles Chargers head coach Jim Harbaugh said that the team planned to give running back Najee Harris 12 to 15 plays in the Week 1 season opener last Friday in Brazil against the Kansas City Chiefs and capped him at 12. However, Harbaugh said Harris' workload could change in a Week 2 divisional clash on Monday night against the Las Vegas Raiders. Harris was only on the field for 12 plays last Friday in the 27-21 win but managed just one carry for five yards while catching his only target for another five-yard pickup. Meanwhile, first-round rookie Omarion Hampton led the Bolts' backfield with 15 carries for 48 yards (3.2 yards per tote) while adding two catches for 13 yards. Harris missed almost all of training camp and the entire preseason with an eye injury, which is why L.A. eased him in. While he could see the field more in Week 2, he still won't be much more than a shaky RB3/flex in fantasy.
