Who Should I Start? Tyler Higbee or Dallas Goedert

Wednesday, November 5, 3:02 PM

Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee continues to see a healthy dose of targets despite increased competition within his position group. Last week against the Saints, he caught three of four targets for 13 yards, and he salvaged his fantasy performance with a touchdown. He has 19 targets over his last four contests, as well as a touchdown in two of his last three games. The 32-year-old continues to play north of 50 percent of the snaps, even as players like Davis Allen and Terrance Ferguson continue to get involved. The Rams run plenty of two-tight end sets, creating additional opportunities for Higbee to get on the field. He already has the trust of quarterback Matthew Stafford, so as long as he continues to see a solid snap share, he'll remain a threat in the Rams' offense. He ranks as a mid-range TE2 with streaming appeal ahead of Week 10 against the San Francisco 49ers.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (calf) does not carry an injury designation on the Friday injury report. Goedert's touchdown streak finally came to an end last week after four straight games of scoring. It was an overall poor showing for Goedert, who had just three targets-his second-lowest in a game this season-amounting to three catches for 18 yards. However, on Sunday he's up against the Giants, who he torched in Week 6 for 110 yards on nine catches in his best performance yet. Now without A.J. Brown, it's fair to assume Goedert is in for another heavy workload against New York. The G-Men give up the 12th-least amount of fantasy points to tight ends this year, but that should be offset by Jalen Hurts' need to rely on a favorite weapon with another forced to the sidelines. Goedert is an enticing TE1 in Week 8.
