Who Should I Start? Dallas Goedert or Tyler Conklin

Friday, December 19, 10:20 PM

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has totaled his most receptions in a two-game window this season in the past two weeks, following up an eight-catch game against the Chargers with six more against the Raiders. After a lengthy slump, Goedert has stepped his game back up lately, also breaking his five-game scoring drought versus Las Vegas. On Saturday, he's up against a Commanders defense that allows the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Just last week, the Giants' leading receiver against Washington was TE Theo Johnson who racked up 72 yards. It seems like a perfect storm for Goedert as his involvement has ramped up; he was the only Eagles player to have more than three targets in their most recent contest, finishing with seven. As fantasy playoffs continue, consider him a low-end TE1 in Week 16.

Former New York Jets tight end Tyler Conklin reached an agreement on an undisclosed one-year deal on Friday with the Los Angeles Chargers, according to his agent, Mike McCartney. Conklin heads to the AFC West after spending the last three years with the Jets, where he had 170 catches on 246 targets for 1,622 yards and seven touchdowns in 50 games (43 starts). While the 29-year-old did have a career-high four touchdowns in 16 games (15 starts) last year, he had just 51 catches and 449 yards (his lowest total since 2020) on 72 targets. The former fifth-round selection (157th overall) by the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 out of Central Michigan has the opportunity to be the Chargers' top pass-catching tight end in 2025, but he'll also be sharing playing time with Will Dissly. Dissly had a very similar 50-481-2 line to Conklin a year ago in L.A. Expect Conklin to be a touchdown-dependent TE2 in fantasy in his new home.
