Dallas Goedert News
Friday, August 21, 6:10 PM
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert "had a good day" during the team's joint practice with the New England Patriots on Thursday, according to Zach Berman of The Athletic. Berman writes that as long as Goedert stays healthy, he will "be one of (Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts') top targets." Across 15 games in 2025, Goedert recorded 60 catches for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns on 82 targets. Goedert recorded just 24 total touchdown catches across his first seven NFL seasons going into 2025, so his spike in red zone production last season was a surprise and may not be fully sustainable in 2026. However, the Eagles lost a significant portion of their receiving production over the offseason by trading away wideout A.J. Brown. While the team added talent at wide receiver to replace Brown, Goedert has more established chemistry with Hurts than any Philadelphia pass-catcher outside of wide receiver DeVonta Smith. Heading into 2026, fantasy managers should view Goedert as a low-end TE1 option.

Terry McLaurin News
Friday, August 14, 1:07 PM
Washington Commanders wide receivers Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs will be on the sideline for Friday night's preseason opener against the Miami Dolphins, per The Athletic's Nicki Jhabvala. The Commanders are also resting quarterback Jayden Daniels and most of their other key offensive starters. It remains to be seen if McLaurin and Diggs will be allowed to suit up for the team's second preseason game next Saturday against the Detroit Lions. The 30-year-old veteran had the worst season of his career in 2025, catching 38 passes on 60 targets for 582 yards and only three touchdowns in 10 starts. It wasn't all his fault, though, as he missed time with injury and was mostly working with backup QB Marcus Mariota when he was healthy. The former third-rounder in 2019 from Ohio State should benefit from the recent addition of Diggs as a prime bounce-back candidate with WR2 upside if both he and Daniels can stay on the field together. Before last year, the two-time Pro Bowler had five straight 1,000-yard seasons and a career-high 13 touchdown receptions in 2024.
