Who Should I Start? Mo Alie-Cox or Dallas Goedert

Indianapolis Colts tight end Mo Alie-Cox (foot) returned to practice Tuesday. The 29-year-old had been sporting a boot earlier in training camp. Upon his return, he took reps with the second-team offense. Alie-Cox was a sleeper candidate in 2022 but failed to live up to expectations. When the season came to a close, the veteran tallied just 19 receptions for 189 yards and three touchdowns. With a crowded tight end room in Indianapolis, Alie-Cox could be a potential cut candidate. He is not worth drafting in fantasy football this season.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert will go on the road to take on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 3 on Monday night. The 28-year-old has gotten off to an incredibly slow start, tallying just six receptions for 22 yards through the first two weeks. While he was peppered with targets last Thursday against Minnesota, he got nowhere with them. This week's matchup against Tampa Bay is not much better. The Buccaneers have let up just 105 yards on 15 receptions to the position so far and have kept tight ends out of the end zone entirely. Goedert is talented enough to overcome a tough matchup, but it would be wise to manage expectations after the past few performances. Consider him a back-end TE1 in Week 3.
