Who Should I Start? Darren Waller or Dallas Goedert

Monday, November 24, 11:14 AM

Sports Illustrated's Alain Poupart reports that Miami Dolphins tight end Darren Waller (pectoral) is expected to practice this Wednesday as the team gears up for a home meeting with the New Orleans Saints in Week 13. Waller has been out since picking up a pectoral sprain in Week 7, although he's apparently progressing well. For what it's worth, he's within the initial time frame of his return, and if all goes well at practice this week, the veteran might be able to suit up for Sunday's clash. There are still a few hurdles for him to clear before being activated from IR, but the Dolphins could certainly use him, considering the offense moved a bit better while he was out there on the field. Fantasy managers should monitor Waller's practice status over the coming days, as he'd be an intriguing play against a vulnerable Saints' defense if active.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert couldn't get it going against the Lions, managing just two catches for 24 yards on five targets. After a couple troubling performances in a row, the question for Goedert boils down to this: have his scoring opportunities dried up, or is he due? He'll look to get out of his rough patch this Sunday as he travels to Dallas to take on the Cowboys in a rematch of the season opener. Last time he played his division rivals, Goedert recorded seven catches, which is the second-most he's had in a game this year. After showing promise against this opponent already-even without finding the end zone-bet on him to have another solid outing. He's a low-end TE1 in Week 12.
