Dallas Goedert News
Thursday, June 4, 8:41 AM
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert faces new competition within the position group, and yet he still remains a dynasty riser after his career-best finish (TE7) last season. Goedert had never finished higher than TE10 before last year, but he broke out in a huge way with 60 catches, 591 yards, and a whopping 11 touchdowns. We can expect some natural touchdown regression in 2026, and Goedert probably will lose some volume to rookie tight end Eli Stowers. Nevertheless, he remains a candidate for a large target share, especially after the Eagles traded away A.J. Brown and his 121 vacated targets. It's a contract year for Goedert, and at just 31 years old, he should remain an NFL starter for several years to come, regardless of whether he's in Philadelphia or somewhere else. The Stowers addition has lowered Goedert's cost in dynasty trades, making him an appealing buy-low target this offseason.

Sam LaPorta News
Thursday, June 4, 1:26 PM
Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) looked good and was moving around well at OTA practice on Thursday after he sat out of the first open practice last week, according to Tim Twentyman of DetroitLions.com. It's a good sign for LaPorta, who is coming off back surgery to fix a herniated disc that forced him to miss the final eight games of the 2025 season. The 25-year-old former second-rounder in 2023 out of the University of Iowa was the No. 1 fantasy TE in his rookie year, catching 86 passes for 889 yards and 10 touchdowns on 120 targets in 17 regular-season games. LaPorta took a slight step back in 2024 with a 60-726-7 line in 16 starts, before catching just 40 passes for 489 yards and three scores a year ago in nine starts. It won't cost nearly as much to secure LaPorta's services in fantasy as a low-end TE1 after his injury in 2025, and with the situation not much different in Detroit than in his first two years, there is clear bounce-back potential in his fourth year in the NFL if he can stay healthy. LaPorta is ranked as RotoBaller's No. 9 TE for the 2026 campaign.
