All FantasyPros Articles insights about Dallas Goedert

PositiveProjectionSep 12, 2026
Goedert finished 2025 as TE6 in fantasy points per game, the second top-six finish in his career, driven by a career-high 11 receiving touchdowns. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, he ranked eighth in target share (18.4%), 33rd in yards per route run (1.43), 17th in receiving yards per game (39.4), eighth in first-read share (21%), seventh in red zone targets (15), and 21st in first downs per route run (0.083). Washington added firepower to pass rush and secondary this offseason, but they allowed the most yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends last year.

Goedert averaged a career-low 9.9 yards per catch last season and only 7.2 yards per target—more than a full yard below his career average. He scored 11 touchdowns in 2026, but six of them came on shovel passes inside the 5-yard line, which may have been a unique page from the Kevin Patullo playbook and not something to count on now that Sean Mannion is calling plays for the Eagles. However, with A.J. Brown gone, Goedert figures to help take up the slack in the Eagles' passing game.

PositiveSleeperSep 8, 2026
Goedert is identified as the biggest sleeper tight end this season. Despite finishing TE4 in 2025—the best finish of his career by a significant margin—he is currently going as TE12 in drafts, lower than ever before despite his career-best performance. The departure of star receiver A.J. Brown opens additional target opportunity. The source recommends waiting on the early tight end rush and taking Goedert five rounds later, with net production expected to be comparable to earlier-drafted options.

The source projects Dallas Goedert has a legitimate chance to push into top-5 tight end territory in 2026. Coming off a TE7 finish with 185.1 PPR points and 11 touchdowns, the departure of A.J. Brown opens up a massive chunk of high-value looks over the middle of the field that Goedert is positioned to absorb as the unquestioned leader of the Eagles' tight end room. His role remained stable even when formations shifted, and with a larger target share now available, he enters the year with clear structural path to elite production.

Goedert finished TE6 in fantasy points per game in 2025, the second time in his career he's finished as a top-six fantasy tight end, accomplishing this with a career-high 11 receiving touchdowns. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, he ranked eighth in target share (18.4%), 33rd in yards per route run (1.43), 17th in receiving yards per game (39.4), eighth in first-read share (21%), seventh in red zone targets (15), and 21st in first downs per route run (0.083). With A.J. Brown out of town, Goedert could be the clear second option in the Eagles' passing attack in 2026. The source would not rule out Goedert finishing as a top-six fantasy tight end again in 2026, and at his floor he's a strong TE1 even with the additions of Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Eli Stowers.

Goedert finished as a top-six fantasy tight end (TE6) for the second time in his career last year, spiking a career-high 11 receiving touchdowns. Among 59 qualifying tight ends, he ranked eighth in target share (18.4%), eighth in first-read share (21%), seventh in red zone targets (15), 17th in receiving yards per game (39.4), and 33rd in yards per route run (1.43). With A.J. Brown out of town, Derek Brown projects Goedert could easily be the clear second option in the Eagles' passing attack and wouldn't rule out him finishing as a top-six fantasy tight end again in 2026; at his floor, he's a strong TE1 even with the additions of Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Eli Stowers.

PositiveProjectionAug 19, 2026
Goedert came off a career season in Philadelphia, finishing as TE4 with a 60/591/11 split after finally staying healthy for the majority of the season. Touchdown regression is almost certain (his former high was five in 2019), but the source expects a dramatic rise in targets thanks to the departure of A.J. Brown to New England and first-round rookie Makai Lemon nursing a hamstring injury in training camp. Goedert has excellent rapport with quarterback Jalen Hurts, and Philadelphia should enter a much heavier, pass-heavy offense under new coordinator Sean Mannion, who brings a modern Matt LaFleur/Sean McVay/Kyle Shanahan-style offense.

Goedert scored a career-high 11 touchdowns in 2025, more than doubling his previous single-season high of five TDs across seven prior NFL seasons; six of those TDs came on shovel passes from the 5-yard line or closer, establishing a new short-range role for the Eagles. He also hit a career high with 60 receptions, though he averaged a career-low 9.9 yards per catch. At 31 years old, Goedert demonstrates he has gas left in the tank, making him a late-round target.

Goedert's projection rank (TE8) exceeds his ECR (TE13) by 5 spots with 146.6 projected FPTS. He scored a career-high 11 TDs in 2025, more than doubling his previous single-season high of 5. Six of those TDs came on shovel-pass variations from the 5-yard line or closer, replacing the Eagles' "tush push" QB sneaks. He also hit a career high with 60 receptions, though he averaged a career-low 9.9 yards per catch. At 31 years old, Goedert has gas left in the tank, but the key question is whether new OC Sean Mannion will feature him near the goal line as much as departed OC Kevin Patullo did.

Last season's TE5 is being drafted as TE15, which the source views as a significant value opportunity; while his 11 touchdowns (tied for most at position) inflated 2024 production, he has been a top-12 TE in every season since 2020. With A.J. Brown departure, Goedert has shown he can step up as second option—over 2024-2025 in five games without Brown, he averaged 12.6 fantasy points, comparable to Tucker Kraft's 12.7 PPG (second-most last year). New additions Makai Lemon (first-round, hamstring issue), Dontayvion Wicks, and Hollywood Brown are not huge volume threats, positioning Goedert for productive start if Lemon needs ramp-up time.

Goedert's projections (TE8, 146.5 FPTS) exceed his ECR (TE12) by four spots. Last year he finished TE6 in fantasy points per game by spiking a career-high 11 receiving touchdowns. He ranked eighth in target share (18.4%), 33rd in yards per route run (1.43), 17th in receiving yards per game (39.4), eighth in first-read share (21%), seventh in red zone targets (15), and 21st in first downs per route run (0.083). With A.J. Brown out of town, Goedert could be the clear second option in the Eagles' passing attack. JJ Zachariason wouldn't rule out him finishing as a top-six fantasy tight end again in 2026, with a floor as a strong TE1 even with additions of Hollywood Brown, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Eli Stowers.

Finished 2025 as TE7 averaging a career-high 12.3 PPR fantasy points per game with a career-high 11 receiving touchdowns, the second-most in the NFL and first among tight ends. However, this touchdown total is an outlier; he had only 24 receiving touchdowns over his other seven seasons, never totaling more than five in a season. At age 31 coming off a career year, and with Philadelphia drafting Makai Lemon and Eli Stowers, Goedert won't be back with the Eagles in 2027, making him a must-sell candidate.
