Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Rhamondre Stevenson

Philadelphia Phillies tight end Dallas Goedert said on ESPN's NFL Live that new offensive coordinator Kevin Patullo is expanding the ways that quarterback Jalen Hurts can get him the ball. "I'm really excited for Kevin," Goedert said. "He's been with us since Nick Sirianni got here. He's waited his turn to get this opportunity. Throughout OTAs, I've really loved what he's doing with the offense. Little changes here and there and I'm really excited for the opportunity just to with the connection I grew with him the last four years. What he sees in me in different ways that he's going to get me the ball I'm really excited for." It's worth taking note of, but at best, Goedert will remain the No. 3 target for Hurts behind wideouts A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, while running back Saquon Barkley will also remain heavily involved. Goedert played in only 10 regular-season games due to injuries in 2024 and will be on the TE1/2 borderline in fantasy drafts this fall.

New England Patriots running back Rhamondre Stevenson dropped 10 pounds heading into the 2025 season in an effort to add the necessary speed to make big plays. "I'm trying to unlock breakaway speed," Stevenson said, and "having TreVeyon (Henderson) coming in here running a 4.3. Let me get my speed up." The 27-year-old had a career-best seven rushing touchdowns and ran for 801 yards on 207 carries in his fourth year in the NFL, but he also fumbled the ball seven times. The Pats' investment of RB TreVeyon Henderson in the second round of this year's draft has Stevenson's fantasy stock on the decline. Stevenson still has three-down abilities, but it's clear New England wants to mix in Henderson with him, which lowers Stevenson's fantasy ceiling more of a touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in fantasy. At the very least, he should see plenty of goal-line opportunities.
