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) missed his second straight practice this week on Thursday. Goedert played just three offensive snaps in the Week 6 win over the Cleveland Browns before injuring his hamstring and never returning last Sunday. The 29-year-old has missed two straight practices this week and is looking unlikely to be active this Sunday versus the division-rival New York Giants. Grant Calcaterra played a whopping 92% of the offensive snaps last weekend after Goedert went down and caught all four of his targets for a season-high 67 receiving yards. With Goedert potentially missing more than one week of action due to his hamstring injury, Calcaterra is certainly worth looking at as a tight end streamer in fantasy, starting this weekend against the G-Men.
