Dallas Goedert News
Saturday, October 24, 12:50 PM
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) enters a Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys as a reliable target and potential security blanket for quarterback Tanner McKee. He dealt with a knee injury throughout the practice week, but is expected to play against the Dallas Cowboys, entering the matchup without an injury designation. Goedert ranks as a top-seven tight end in Week 7 in half-PPR leagues, according to RotoBaller, and he is projected to score 8.6 fantasy points. The Dallas defense gives up 232.7 passing yards per game (23rd in the NFL). Per Pro Football Reference, the Cowboys allow 7.6 fantasy points per game to tight ends (tied for 15th in the NFL). Last weekend in a 25-14 loss to the Carolina Panthers, Goedert saw eight targets and recorded six receptions for 61 yards. Goedert ranked second on the team behind wide receiver DeVonta Smith in all of those receiving categories. Despite missing two games, Goedert has totaled 25 targets, 17 receptions, 180 receiving yards and two touchdowns in 2026. He averages 10.6 yards per catch. According to RotoBaller, Goedert averages 9.6 fantasy points per game in half-PPR scoring formats, which is the eighth-highest in the league among tight ends. Goedert will continue to play a significant role for Philadelphia's offense, and he should be started in all lineups. But with quarterback Jalen Hurts (blood clots) expected to miss the rest of the 2026 season due to blood clots in his lungs, the connection between Goedert and McKee is crucial, and the overall play of McKee will determine Goedert's fantasy football ceiling.

Trey McBride News
Sunday, October 25, 6:20 PM
Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride was everywhere in the team's 30-16 loss on Sunday to the visiting Denver Broncos in Week 7. Although the Cardinals could not pull off a second straight upset, McBride did work for his fantasy managers, catching 10 of his 13 targets for a season-high 111 yards and a touchdown. He led the Cardinals in all receiving categories and became the first tight end in NFL history with 400 regular-season catches in his first five seasons. The 26-year-old now has 406 career receptions after another 10 grabs against Denver. The Cardinals do not have a feared offense, but McBride is one of, if not the best, tight ends in football. He has at least seven catches in all seven games so far in 2026 while adding four touchdowns for his fantasy managers. McBride will have an even higher target ceiling for the rest of the year after the Cardinals traded away former first-round receiver Marvin Harrison Jr., too. He should be almost a lock for at least another seven catches while approaching the century mark in yards in a very favorable Week 8 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys and their suspect passing defense.
