Who Should I Start? Eric Saubert or Dallas Goedert

Monday, September 23, 1:33 AM

San Francisco 49ers tight end Eric Saubert was minimally involved but efficient in the team's passing game during a 27-24 loss to the Rams in Los Angeles. Saubert, filling in for George Kittle (hamstring), did good work in the run-block game and caught two-of-two targets for 41 yards. There are no updates on Kittle's injury at this time, but there are no indications that he's dealing with a multiple-week injury. Even if Kittle were to miss again, it seems likely that Sunday's performance is on the high side of what might be expected from Saubert in Week 4 versus the New England Patriots.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 8 according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Goedert will now miss his second straight game since leaving Week 6 early due to a hamstring injury. The 29-year-old was unable to participate in any team practices this week. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his progression next week as he sets his sight on returning in Week 9 to face the Jacksonville Jaguars. As a result, No. 2 tight end Grant Calcaterra will be at the top of the depth chart once again. He is best to fade in all formats as he caught just one pass serving as the starter last weekend.
