Dallas Goedert

Dallas Goedert enters the 2025 fantasy football season once again as a strong TE1 option, continuing his impressive streak of finishing as a top tight end in points per game every year since 2019. Despite dealing with injuries last year, including knee and hamstring issues, he demonstrated high efficiency when on the field, averaging 11.8 PPR points per game in games where he played at least 60% of the snaps. This production would have placed him as the eighth-best tight end last season, highlighting his steady impact in one of the NFL's most potent offenses, which is expected to pass more frequently in 2025.

While Goedert's 2024 season had some frustrating moments, particularly with limited games exceeding 55 receiving yards, he remains a reliable and valuable fantasy asset, especially in formats where consistent target share and snap counts are rewarded. His 20.2% target share and ability to generate over 2 yards per route run rank him among the elite tight ends, and he also commands a solid first-read share from the quarterback. These metrics indicate that when healthy, he is a key piece for Philadelphia’s offense with plenty of red zone upside.

Although some analysts glow less enthusiastically about Goedert compared to younger tight ends or those with higher upside, his proven track record and the Eagles’ offensive strategy that likely involves more passing this year make him a smart mid-to-late-round pick. Injuries to key wide receivers like AJ Brown or DeVonta Smith could elevate Goedert’s role further, providing contingent upside for fantasy managers willing to take a calculated risk. Pairing him with complementary tight ends could mitigate injury risk and maximize value in deeper leagues.

Goedert remains committed to Philadelphia for 2025 despite early trade rumors, solidifying his place in a talented offense that ranked seventh in scoring last year. Although his average draft position is around 16th among tight ends, there is strong reason to confidently draft him as a TE1, especially considering his efficiency and the team’s likelihood to increase passing plays this season. Overall, Goedert is a dependable and savvy pick for fantasy football players targeting steady production from the tight end position.
