Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Theo Johnson

Friday, November 7, 11:21 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has been a top fantasy producer. It's fair to say he's had some weak showings throughout the 2025 campaign. However, the 30-year-old has also had a few standout performances, including a two-touchdown effort in the Week 8 NFC East clash with the New York Giants, marking his second multi-score game of the year. Goedert has 30 catches and 289 receiving yards this season, which isn't great compared to other tight ends around the National Football League. On the other hand, he's made up for it by finding the end zone seven times, more than anyone else at the position. With the Eagles sitting among the top teams in the NFC, Philadelphia will look to extend its winning streak to three games by handling Green Bay on Monday night. The Packers have had trouble defending opposing tight ends this season. Still, Goedert's designation as a must-start fantasy option wouldn't have changed even if he had a challenging matchup on the horizon. That will remain the case until he shows signs of regression moving ahead.

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson caught a season-high seven passes for 75 yards in Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Bears. Since Jaxson Dart took over as the Giants' starting quarterback in Week 4, Johnson has been on a 17-game pace of 66 catches for 644 yards and 12 touchdowns, putting him squarely in the every-week starter conversation. Unfortunately, Dart left Sunday's game with a concussion and will now need to clear protocol before retaking the field, but the Giants boast one of the most tight-end-friendly schedules down the stretch, with fantasy playoff matchups against both the Commanders and Vikings. While the Giants organization faces turmoil in a week that saw head coach Brian Daboll fired, the connection between Dart and Johnson seems legitimate. As long as the rookie signal-caller doesn't face a prolonged absence, Johnson is a valuable streaming option that should be available on most waiver wires.
