Johnny Mundt Is Better Left on Waivers
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Johnny Mundt is going to see the field while Dallas Goedert (knee) is out, but that does not make him a strong waiver target. Mundt caught two of three targets for eight yards against Tennessee and played 49 of 76 offensive snaps, already starting alongside Goedert before the injury. The bigger issue is what Philadelphia did next. The Eagles brought Zach Ertz back on the practice squad, and RotoBaller's FAAB column flatly notes that Mundt is not a starter. His history points the same way. Mundt has never reached 200 receiving yards in a season and has only four touchdowns in his NFL career. There may be a random short touchdown while Goedert is sidelined, but the target ceiling is hard to trust, especially if Ertz is elevated for Monday night. Mundt can be monitored in very deep leagues, but most fantasy managers should leave him on waivers and look elsewhere for Week 3 help.

Tight End Zach Ertz Returning to the Eagles
Three-time Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz is signing with the Philadelphia Eagles' practice squad on Monday to return to the team that he played for from 2013 to 2021, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Eagles lost starting tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) to an MCL sprain in their Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, and he is expected to miss multiple weeks, so Ertz, who helped the Eagles win their first Super Bowl, will give the team some depth at the position going forward. The 35-year-old veteran spent the last two years with the Washington Commanders, catching 116 of his 163 targets for 1,158 yards and 11 touchdowns in 30 starts. The 13-year veteran tore his ACL in Week 14 and was limited to 13 games a year ago. Depending on how quickly Ertz can get his legs back under him this week, he could be elevated to the 53-man roster for the team's Week 3 contest on Monday Night Football against the Chicago Bears. Grant Calcaterra (back) and rookie Eli Stowers (hamstring) are on Injured Reserve, so in addition to Ertz, the Eagles only have Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins at the position outside of Goedert.

Dallas Goedert to Miss a Few Weeks With Sprained MCL
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) suffered a sprained MCL in his knee in the Week 2 win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday and is expected to miss a few weeks, sources told Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network. It is a big blow for the Eagles' offense going forward, as the next two men up on their TE depth chart are Johnny Mundt and E.J. Jenkins. Goedert's injury will most likely mean more targets all around for receivers DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, and rookie first-rounder Makai Lemon. The 31-year-old Goedert had a big game in the Week 1 season-opening victory over the division-rival Washington Commanders, catching four of his five targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns, but he was able to reel in just one pass for four yards on two targets on Sunday against the Titans before his knee injury knocked him out. Because of Goedert's big role in the Eagles' passing game when healthy, fantasy managers should find a way to keep him stashed while he rehabs his MCL sprain.

Dallas Goedert Set to Undergo MRI on Monday
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) will undergo an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of his injury, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Rapoport noted that a player undergoing an MRI on their knee typically indicates that they'll miss time, but managers should stay tuned for further updates on his status. The 31-year-old exited during the first half of Sunday's win over the Titans and did not return, finishing Week 2 with just one catch for four yards. Goedert is a major part of the Eagles' offense, and he represents one of Jalen Hurts' most reliable and physical targets after AJ Brown was traded to New England during the offseason. The tight end had 77 yards and two catches during his last fully healthy game in Week 1, so the Eagles and fantasy managers will hope his absence doesn't last too long. Assuming he does miss time, Johnny Mundt would step up as the team's primary tight end.

Dallas Goedert Questionable to Return With Knee Injury
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) is questionable to return against the Tennessee Titans, according to the team. Goedert had one catch for four yards before leaving the game. Johnny Mundt is next up at tight end if Goedert can't return, with E.J. Jenkins also available for Philadelphia.

Dallas Goedert Picking Up Where He Left Off, Looking to Continue Trend in Week 2
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert scored 11 touchdowns in 2025, which was tied for the most in the NFL, and he immediately picked up where he left off, scoring two touchdowns in the 2026 season opener against the Washington Commanders. He enters a Week 2 matchup against the Tennessee Titans in which he should once again operate as one of the top options for quarterback Jalen Hurts in the passing game. In the win over the Commanders, Goedert played 52 offensive snaps and recorded four catches (on five targets) for 77 receiving yards and the aforementioned two touchdowns. He scored 21.7 points in half-PPR scoring leagues, and according to Pro Football Focus, Goedert currently ranks in the top-10 in the NFL for fantasy points per touch (5.42). PFF also notes that Hurts had a perfect passer rating of 158.3 when targeting Goedert last week. Per SumerSports, Goedert ran 27 routes and had a 22.73% target share. He also earned 0.19 targets per route run. Goedert ranks as the No. 7 tight end on RotoBaller for Week 2 and is projected to score 9.8 points in half-PPR formats. There is no reason not to have Goedert in your lineup against the Titans.

Dallas Goedert's TE1 Stock Jumps After Big Opener
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert picked up where he left off last season, catching four of five targets for 77 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-22 win over Washington. He led Philadelphia in receiving yards despite Jalen Hurts attempting only 25 passes, and his five targets were second on the team. Goedert scored 11 times in 2025, so another two-touchdown performance immediately makes last year's breakout look a little harder to dismiss as touchdown luck. The 77 yards matter just as much. Goedert topped that mark only twice all of last season, and Philadelphia now has a different-looking target tree after trading A.J. Brown during the offseason. DeVonta Smith remains the top receiving option, but Goedert showed in Week 1 that there is room for him to stay heavily involved. His fantasy stock is clearly higher coming out of the opener, with another top-10 tight end season looking more realistic than it did a week ago.

Eli Stowers Placed on Injured Reserve
The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Saturday that rookie tight end Eli Stowers (quad, hamstring) has been placed on Injured Reserve. A second-round pick out of Vanderbilt, Stowers is expected to play a complementary role in his team's tight end room behind Eagles TE1 Dallas Goedert. While Stowers may still eventually carve out a role in the Philadelphia passing game, his NFL debut will now be delayed by at least four weeks. With Stowers on IR, Goedert's fantasy outlook for the Eagles' season opener against the Washington Commanders on Sunday looks a little bit safer. Stowers remains a worthy stash in dynasty formats, but he should be off the radar of redraft managers for the time being.

Dallas Goedert Looks to Keep Momentum Going in 2026 Following 11-touchdown Campaign
After a couple of down seasons, Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert reestablished himself as a top fantasy football tight end in 2025. Last season, Goedert recorded career highs in receptions with 60 and touchdowns with 11, while amassing 591 receiving yards. The 11 touchdowns tied Trey McBride of the Arizona Cardinals for the most in the league by a tight end. Goedert finished the 2025 campaign ranked as the No. 3 tight end in total fantasy points in half-PPR formats. He enters the 2026 season atop the Eagles' depth chart, with Johnny Mundt listed as the team's second tight end, and rookie Eli Stowers and returning player E.J. Jenkins behind them. Goedert currently ranks as RotoBaller's No. 7 tight end. With a Week 1 matchup with the Washington Commanders to kick off the 2026 season, Goedert should be in line for plenty of targets, but will compete with DeVonta Smith, Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and Saquon Barkley, among others, for touches. According to Pro Football Reference, the Commanders gave up the second-most fantasy points (184.1) and second-most touchdowns (12) to tight ends in 2025. Goedert is a strong Week 1 start in all formats.

Eli Stowers Questionable to Make his NFL Debut in Week 1
Philadelphia Eagles rookie second-round tight end Eli Stowers (hamstring) is listed as questionable to play in the Week 1 season opener on Sunday versus the division-rival Washington Commanders due to a hamstring injury, per the team. Stowers is up in the air for his NFL regular-season debut, but the fact that he was limited in all three practices this week should have him on the right side of questionable for Sunday's clash. Even if the former Vanderbilt tight end is active this weekend to take on Washington, fantasy managers should have him riding the bench in deeper leagues as the backup to Dallas Goedert to open his first NFL season. Right now, Stowers is rostered in only 1% of Yahoo leagues, and he will not become attractive on the waiver wire unless Goedert misses time with an injury in 2026.

Dallas Goedert Set for a Major Role
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert looks poised to continue to be his team's top option at tight end and play a major role this season. With A.J. Brown departing to the Patriots, more targets will be available for the rest of the Eagles' pass-catchers. Last year, Goedert had a career-high 60 catches for 591 yards and an impressive total of 11 touchdowns. There was concern for Goedert's playing time after the Eagles drafted Eli Stowers, but Stowers struggled in training camp and the preseason and appears to need more development time. Stowers is an elite athlete but is still new to the position, which should leave Goedert as a major contributor in the Eagles' offense, especially early in the season. He should be a reliable low-end TE1 with higher upside if he keeps finding the end zone so regularly in 2026.

Eli Stowers Limited in Practice on Wednesday
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Eli Stowers (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday, according to the team's official injury report. The second-round rookie initially suffered the injury during training camp, and now it's lingering into the start of the regular season. At this point, there is a chance that Stowers will be sidelined for Week 1 against the Washington Commanders, delaying his NFL debut. On the other hand, if he upgrades to a full participant in either of the next two days, he should be cleared to play. Fantasy managers should stay tuned to the Eagles' next two injury reports for additional updates. Regardless of whether he plays, Stowers will remain off the redraft radar in his role as the No. 2 tight end behind Dallas Goedert.

Eli Stowers Struggling in Camp, Difficult to Trust in Redraft Formats
Philadelphia Eagles' second-round rookie tight end Eli Stowers, out of Vanderbilt in the 2026 NFL Draft, has struggled in camp. He has faced heavy criticism and struggled to stand out as a receiver or blocker during practices, including a tough joint practice against the New England Patriots. Ultimately, the learning curve has been steep for him, and while he flashed some upside at the combine with his athleticism, recent reports from camp suggest he's not ready to play at the NFL level. He has also been slowed down by a hamstring injury, and Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice reported that he could be a healthy scratch on Sundays. During his senior season at Vanderbilt, he had 62 receptions, 769 yards, and four touchdowns. At this point, Stowers is a dynasty stash at best. RotoBaller ranks Stowers as the TE64 and 377th player off the board, making him undraftable in most standard-sized redraft formats.

Dallas Goedert Set for Another High-Volume Season in 2026
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert is primed for another high-volume season in 2026. With the departure of star wide receiver A.J. Brown, the entire Eagles' receiving core is set for a larger target share in 2026. Goedert hauled in 60 of 82 targets for 591 yards and 11 touchdowns last season with Brown in the mix. He scored 10 of the 11 touchdowns in the red zone, including eight within the six-yard line. The Eagles also have the easiest strength of schedule for tight ends next season, including a Week 1 matchup against the Washington Commanders, who allowed the fourth-most half-PPR fantasy points to tight ends last season. While he has flown under the radar for most of the fantasy draft process, Goedert should continue to produce low-end TE1 production in 2026.

Grant Calcaterra Starting Season on Injured Reserve
The Philadelphia Eagles placed tight end Grant Calcaterra (back) on Injured Reserve on roster cutdown day on Sunday, according to the team's official website. Calcaterra will be forced to miss at least the first four games of the 2026 season after he missed the final two weeks of the preseason. The 27-year-old's injury leaves the Eagles a little light on depth at the position behind starter Dallas Goedert going into Week 1 against the division-rival Washington Commanders, with Johnny Mundt, rookie Eli Stowers, and E.J. Jenkins comprising the team's TE room to open the season. It is why the Eagles are considering a reunion with veteran Zach Ertz (knee), who is wrapping up his rehab from a torn ACL last year. The 27-year-old Calcaterra had a career-best 298 receiving yards and a touchdown on 24 receptions in 2024, but he fell to just nine catches, 76 yards, and one touchdown in 15 regular-season games last year in his fourth year in the NFL. The former sixth-rounder in 2022 from SMU is off the fantasy football radar in all leagues for the start of 2026.
