Who Should I Start? Jonnu Smith or Dallas Goedert

Monday, December 23, 10:00 AM

Miami Dolphins tight end Jonnu Smith caught all six of his targets for 62 yards in the 29-17 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 16. Smith was again as solid as he has been since Tua Tagovailoa returned in Week 8. This is the tenth time he has seen six or more targets and the sixth time he has cracked 60 receiving yards in a game this season. The only downside in this game was his two-game touchdown streak being snapped. With Miami still fighting to make the playoffs, the last two remaining games will be meaningful, and Smith should be a heavy part of the game plan. He will travel to take on the Cleveland Browns in Week 17.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is heading to Injured Reserve on Saturday because of the knee injury he suffered in the Week 13 victory over the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday, according to sources. It means that Goedert will have to miss at least the next four games, but the plan is for him to be back at full speed heading into the playoffs. Technically, he'll be eligible to return for the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival New York Giants, but it sounds like we won't see Goedert again until the postseason. Fantasy managers in redraft leagues can send him to the waiver wire for a healthy body. The 29-year-old also missed a few games earlier in 2024 due to injuries and he'll finish 2024 with 38 catches, 441 yards and two scores on 46 targets in nine games. Grant Calcaterra becomes a TE2 streaming option for the final five games in fantasy with Goedert now sidelined.
