Dallas Goedert Not Worried About Trade Speculation

Sunday, November 8, 1:12 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert could potentially be traded at the upcoming deadline. When asked about it, Goedert said that he wasn't worried about getting traded. Goedert noted that it's a possibility, but he's not trying to worry about it right now. Given how the season is going in Philly, Goedert is someone who could be traded at the deadline. The 31-year-old remains productive, but the Eagles could look to deal him and get younger at the position. If he gets moved, rookie Eli Stowers could see an expanded role down the stretch of the season. This situation is something that should be monitored over the next few days.

Sam LaPorta's Midseason Struggles Continue in Miami

Sunday, November 8, 2:28 PM

Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta caught four of his five targets for 32 yards during Sunday's Week 9 win over the Miami Dolphins. It was another modest showing from LaPorta, who has now posted single-digit PPR points in all three games since the Lions' bye week. This can certainly be chalked up as a dud performance, but in his defense, he and Amon-Ra St. Brown were the only Lions players with more than two receptions, as Detroit's offense ran the ball quite often on Sunday. The Lions will return home to host the Patriots in Week 1, and a potentially more pass-heavy game script should give LaPorta an opportunity to bounce back as a TE1, at least. He is searching for his first 35-plus-yard game since Week 5, which is also the last time he scored a touchdown.
