Who Should I Start? Darren Waller or Dallas Goedert

Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that tight end Darren Waller (hip) will practice this week and is expected to make his debut with the team next Monday night in Week 4 against the division-rival New York Jets, according to The Palm Beach Post's Hal Habib. If Waller is officially active against the Jets for the first time this year, as expected, he will be on a snap count. "Yes, it's probably more situational. I wouldn't go to all these lengths, have this buildup, and throw him out there for 60 (snaps). I kind of have an idea what it is," McDaniel said. The 33-year-old came out of retirement to join the Dolphins this year, so it's not really a surprise he'll be limited in his first real game action in over a year. Waller should give Miami's struggling offense a boost, but he should not be in any starting fantasy lineups in Week 4. For now, Waller is merely a bench stash for TE depth in deeper leagues.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert was not listed on Friday's injury report and appears to be fully ready for Sunday's contest against the Los Angeles Rams. This will be Goedert's first action since Week 1 after being sidelined for a game with a knee injury. In his one appearance, he led Philly in targets and receptions (seven each), racking up 44 yards in a win. The Rams are a middle-of-the-pack matchup, allowing the 17th-most points per game to opposing tight ends in fantasy through the first two games of the season. Goedert should slide cleanly right back into the offense; consider him a low-end TE1 for Week 3.
