The Philadelphia Eagles (4-2) will visit the Minnesota Vikings (3-2) in Week 7. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Dallas Goedert in Week 7?
Just like we all thought: this Philadelphia offense that lacks passing volume would stabilize the value of one pass catcher and that pass catcher would be their 30-year-old tight end coming off of a three-season run that featured 15 missed games and a touchdown less than once a month.
That’s fantasy.
Dallas Goedert was clearly highlighted in the planned script on Thursday night, as he was responsible for five of Jalen Hurts’ first seven completions. That early surge resulted in his fifth touchdown in four weeks and led him to catching more balls in Week 6 than he did in his first three games back from the hamstring injury combined.
Ride the wave.
I’m not sold that Goedert is a Tier 2 tight end (for the record, Tier 1 is the elite and Tier 2 is the “must roster”), but you ride the wave. He’s getting there on volume in a low-volume offense (29% target share over the past two weeks, and for reference, Brock Bowers was at 25.8% last season) and that’s a tough math problem to count on.
This run of production has earned Goedert more leash than others in this range, but I’m not holding my breath on him sustaining weekly value.
If someone in your league sees him as such, I wouldn’t hesitate to cash in this chip.
