Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Trey McBride

Friday, November 14, 10:43 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert's six targets were second-most for his team in their last game, trailing only behind DeVonta Smith who had seven. Unfortunately for Goedert, this was his third game of the season in which he did not score a touchdown, and he has relied heavily on finding the end zone to have real fantasy production. He'll look to get back to his scoring ways this week against the Lions, whose defense allows the 13th-least amount of fantasy points to tight ends this year. In two of Detroit's last four games, the leading receiver for the opposing team has been a tight end (Cade Otton and Travis Kelce), which poses some promise for Goedert heading into Sunday Night Football. It feels like starting him boils down to taking the gamble on whether or not he finds pay dirt, but he still does it more often than not. He's a low-end TE1 in Week 11.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride should continue to handle a heavy workload, especially after the team announced that Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) is ruled out for Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. Harrison is a talented playmaker who is capable of making catches in coverage, which is similar to McBride's skill set. As a result, when Jacoby Brissett needs a receiver to make a physical or contested catch, he'll likely trust McBride more than some of the other wide receivers, such as Michael Wilson or Greg Dortch. McBride is already the TE1 in PPR scoring this year, catching 61 passes for 603 yards and a career-high six touchdowns. He'll have a chance to build on his strong campaign this Sunday against the 49ers. He remains a must-start fantasy tight end, especially against a 49ers defense allowing the fifth-most fantasy points to tight ends in 2025.
