Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or T.J. Hockenson

When commenting on the team's tight end situation regarding Dallas Goedert, Philadelphia Eagles general manager Howie Roseman was non-committal about whether he might still be traded, per the team's transcript. "Dallas is part of the team as we speak," said Roseman. "Obviously, as we go forward, we're going to continue to address things on this team and right now nothing further." There's been speculation that Philadelphia would move on from the veteran, due to his $11.7 million cap hit and zero guaranteed money heading into 2025. However, the Eagles did not opt to draft a tight end in a class with a myriad of intriguing names; instead, they brought in free agent tight ends Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant. Teammate Grant Calcaterra will return for his fourth season with the team, too, but Goedert is far and away the best of that bunch. If he can stay healthy, 2025 could be a productive season for him, though that seems unlikely as he's played just one full season in seven years as a pro.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson brought in all five of his targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. The 27-year-old was able to break free for a nifty 26-yard catch-and-run late in the third quarter, but that would be the team's only TD -- and highlight -- of the game. The Vikings' offense fizzled out for the second straight week as quarterback Sam Darnold's late-season collapse continued. It's an unfortunate ending to the season for Minnesota, who won 14 games and was on the brink of a first-round bye. Still, Hockenson can find a silver lining in that he did not re-injure the knee that kept him out of the season's first seven games. He'll now turn to 2025 with uncertainty at quarterback.
