Dallas Goedert Fantasy Overview

2024 Summary

Production & Fantasy Finishes

Goedert played a career-low ten games last year. So it's no surprise that his total production underwhelmed:

• 42 catches
• 496 yards
• 2 TDs

His 10.4 PPR points per game lined up with his recent career average. It also ranked 10th among TEs, just behind Sam LaPorta.

Goedert rarely flashed a high-end ceiling, with only one weekly finish inside the top-8 (TE1, Week 3). A.J. Brown was out for that one, while DeVonta Smith departed mid-game with a concussion.

Usage & Role

Goedert saw a solid 20.2% target share in his eight full games. Compare that to his mark of 18.8% in 2023.

He peaked with target shares of 31% (Week 3), 29% (Week 4), 28% (Week 12), and 27% (Week 13). Each game found the Eagles without at least one of Brown or Smith.

Efficiency Metrics

Goedert set a career high in targets per route run (22.7%). He finished with his second-best yards per route run (2.20).

He also slotted third among 43 qualifying TEs in ESPN’s Receiver Score. He ranked top-14 in each subcategory (Open Score, Catch Score, Yards After Catch Score).

Offensive Context

Philly’s offense certainly didn’t present extra opportunities.

OC Kellen Moore’s unit ranked bottom two in:

• Pass rate
• Neutral pass rate
• Pass rate over expected
• Red zone pass rate
• Red zone pass rate over expected

We also witnessed regression from QB Jalen Hurts, whose PFF passing grade (71.0) ranked 23rd out of 32 qualifiers.

Injury History

Durability remained an issue for Goedert last year.

He missed three games with a hamstring injury and four others with a knee. Back in August, he missed practice time with an oblique injury.

The veteran was the subject of offseason trade talk. Ultimately, he took a pay cut to remain in Philly.

2025 Expectations

Projected Role & Competition

The Eagles added TEs Kylen Granson and Harrison Bryant in free agency. Neither guy is a lock to make the team, though. For now, expect Grant Calcaterra to hold the backup role behind Goedert.

The return of Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown, and DeVonta Smith put a cap on Goedert’s role. Our projections have the TE for five targets per game.

Supporting Cast

Goedert will look for more consistent QB play from Jalen Hurts. If his passing performance remains uneven, there’s almost no chance of a volume rebound.

The Eagles finished last in pass rate and pass rate over expected last season.

Coaching & Offensive Scheme

Kellen Moore took the HC job in New Orleans following one season as Philadelphia’s play-caller.

In steps Kevin Patullo, the Eagles’ pass-game coordinator since 2021. The continuity should be beneficial, although we don’t expect a drastic shift from their run-heavy, Super Bowl-winning formula.

Philly’s 2024 offense fired off a league-low 448 passes – 29 fewer than the next closest team (Baltimore).
