Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Theo Johnson

Friday, October 24, 10:57 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) does not carry an injury designation on the Friday injury report. Goedert's touchdown streak finally came to an end last week after four straight games of scoring. It was an overall poor showing for Goedert, who had just three targets-his second-lowest in a game this season-amounting to three catches for 18 yards. However, on Sunday he's up against the Giants, who he torched in Week 6 for 110 yards on nine catches in his best performance yet. Now without A.J. Brown, it's fair to assume Goedert is in for another heavy workload against New York. The G-Men give up the 12th-least amount of fantasy points to tight ends this year, but that should be offset by Jalen Hurts' need to rely on a favorite weapon with another forced to the sidelines. Goedert is an enticing TE1 in Week 8.

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson didn't have an outstanding Week 9 performance in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers, but he did find the end zone for the fifth time this year in the 34-24 defeat. With fellow tight end Daniel Bellinger out with a neck injury, Johnson caught three of his six targets for 27 yards and the touchdown while playing 86% of the offensive snaps. The 24-year-old has gone over 50 receiving yards just once in nine games in 2025, but fantasy managers can't ignore the fact that Johnson has scored five touchdowns in the last six games. The emergence of rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart definitely raises Johnson's ceiling as a TE2 streamer the rest of the way, as well as the fact that top wideout Malik Nabers (knee) is done for the season. Johnson will have low-end TE1 upside going into a plus matchup in Week 10 against the Chicago Bears, especially if Bellinger misses another game.
