Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Sam LaPorta

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) will not play in Week 7, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Goedert left last weekend's game early with a hamstring injury and did not participate in any team practices this week. The 29-year-old will now shift his focus on returning in Week 8 to face the Cincinnati Bengals. As a result, Grant Calcaterra will move up to the top of the depth chart and could be worth a look as a replacement in deeper formats, as he caught four passes for 67 yards last weekend when filling in Goedert.

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta struggled in Week 7, contributing minimally in the 31-29 win over the Minnesota Vikings. LaPorta managed just one catch on two targets for 25 yards, marking another disappointing performance. He has now finished with single-digit fantasy points in five of six games this season, a sharp contrast from his consistency last year. Despite the Lions' offensive success, LaPorta's role remains limited, leaving fantasy managers searching for answers. The Lions will aim to get him more involved in their Week 8 home matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
