The Philadelphia Eagles (4-0) will host the Denver Broncos (2-2) in Week 5. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Dallas Goedert.
Is Dallas Goedert Playing in Week 5?
Update: Dallas Goedert is officially active and playing this week.
Goedert (knee) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Broncos and will likely be a game-time decision. Goedert was held out of practice Wednesday due to a knee injury
We’ll continue to monitor the Eagles’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Dallas Goedert in Week 5?
I think, by law, you have to consider selling an Eagle pass catcher after a big week, right?
Dallas Goedert benefited from circumstance on Philly’s first drive against the Bucs, capping off a drive with a two-yard touchdown that may have been a “tough push” if not for Jalen Hurts taking punishment on a 29-yard scamper the play before.
The Eagles went back to him two drives later for another short touchdown, and that was all she wrote.
Philadelphia didn’t complete a pass in the second half, thus pausing the stat lines of all involved.
We said it after the A.J. Brown game in Week 3, and I’m sure we will say it when the DeVonta Smith breakout game occurs: these are all talented players, part of a system that doesn’t have our best interest at heart.
Goedert remains inside my top 10 at the position this week, understanding that the Broncos are on a short week and have an elite corner that will help limit the appeal of the receivers. That said, expectations are important, and I’m under no illusion that he’ll be a lineup lock a month from now, let alone when fantasy championships are on the line in December.
