Dallas Goedert 2022 Player Outlook – Finally Philadelphia's Top Tight End
3 years agoGoedert finally did not have to share time and targets with former tight end teammate Zach Ertz in 2021, and he proved he can be a fantasy force when he is Philadelphia's top tight end. He set a career-high with 830 receiving yards and helped his fantasy managers when they needed him most at the end of the year by racking up 21 receptions for 339 yards and two touchdowns over his last four games of the season. Goedert's fantasy value was not damaged with scrambler Jalen Hurts as his quarterback, and he became the Eagles' No. 2 option in its passing attack behind rookie playmaker DeVonta Smith. While Goedert has no competition behind him on the depth chart, he now has to contend with newly-acquired A.J. Brown taking targets away from him. The addition of Brown does not bode well for Goedert's target totals, especially since he is in a run-first offense with Hurts at the helm. It is easy to pencil Goedert in for 60 catches, 800 yards and six-to-eight touchdowns, but it is hard to fathom him doing more than that if there are not more pass plays called. Expect Goedert to be a solid fantasy contributor once again as a TE1. Just don't expect him to have a Mark Andrews-like season in 2022.
