Goedert also committed a drop that was intercepted in the down performance, although the play in question was overturned through penalty. The veteran tight end continues to be limited by an ineffective offense with Tanner McKee under center in what has quickly become a lost season after the team’s sixth consecutive loss. Fantasy managers are likely better off looking for viable alternatives ahead of a Week 9 divisional clash with the Giants.

Goedert has now returned consecutive games of middling production with Tanner McKee under center, which is a somewhat troubling realization considering DeVonta Smith missed both games and Dontayvion Wicks departed Week 6 with an injury before missing Week 7. Goedert’s fantasy value appears strictly tied to the state of a sinking Philadelphia ball club, now fighting through declining quarterback play in addition to poor offensive structure and shoddy play calling. Fantasy managers are likely forced to endure the middling production for lack of better options.

Goedert reportedly aggravated his previous knee injury but got back on the practice field for a full session Saturday before being removed from the injury report. He could be stepping into a massive target share with both DeVonta Smith and Dontayvion Wicks ruled out. Fantasy managers can start him as an upside TE1 in a great matchup against the Cowboys in Week 7.

Goedert is on the wrong side of questionable for the Eagles’ Week 7 Monday Night Football game against the Cowboys. The Philadelphia Inquirer’s Jeff McLane reports that as of Thursday, there was “optimism” about Goedert’s Week 7 availability. Hopefully, he resumes practicing tomorrow.

Goedert missed time with a knee injury earlier this year, but he was not on the injury report last week. This could just be a maintenance day, but it is worth keeping an eye on in the lead up to the Eagles’ Monday Night Football game against the Cowboys.

Early in the game, when Tanner McKee was struggling to get anything going, he seemed locked onto Goedert. When the Panthers were up by multiple scores and the defense seemed to allow some more space in the secondary, McKee felt more confident in taking shots down the field to his receivers, which meant Goedert was quiet in the second half. Still, he was second on the team in targets, receptions, and receiving yards and will be a low-end TE1 against the Cowboys next week.

Goedert returned to the lineup after missing three games with a knee injury. Already without Saquon Barkley and DeVonta Smith, Goedert was immediately thrust into a high-usage role. He led the team in targets and catches, though much of his looks were simply check-downs. Even if that’s his role going forward, Goedert should catch enough passes to sustain borderline TE1 numbers until DeVonta Smith returns. He gets a date with the Panthers in Week 6.

Goedert got in a full session on Friday and is cleared. With DeVonta Smith down, he has some TE1 potential against the Jaguars on volume. He’s always been one of Jalen Hurts’ favorite red zone targets, and Saquon Barkley being down may lead the Eagles to throw more once the field condenses.

Goedert’s return cannot come soon enough. DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Hollywood Brown (ankle) remain sidelined, and Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) got hurt in today’s practice. If Goedert can play this week, he will vault right back into the TE1 tier.

It’s Goedert’s first practice since going down with a knee injury in Week 2. Even a limited session today puts him on track to suit up for Philly’s Week 5 game against the Jags. With DeVonta Smith (hamstring) unlikely to play, Goedert could be in line for a large role right away. He will be on the TE1/2 border for Week 5 if he is cleared for action.

He didn’t practice all week and will again be replaced by the combination of Zach Ertz and Johnny Mundt in Week 4. Neither of those players are particularly appealing options, though Ertz has enough of a history of success and the Eagles are bereft enough of targets to make him a viable TE2.

That leaves Goedert extremely likely to miss his second consecutive contest when the Eagles host the Rams this Sunday. Zach Ertz was Goedert’s feel-good Week 3 fill-in, but Ertz’s 38 percent snap share ended up producing one catch on two targets. With this entire offense looking rather sluggish at the moment, Ertz does not have TE2 streamer appeal.

No real surprises here after Goedert was ruled out earlier in the week. The team elevated veteran Zach Ertz to the active roster from the practice squad, although he remains unlikely to see a full workload after joining the team this week in the midst of recovering from a torn ACL suffered in 2025. Tanner McKee will serve as the emergency quarterback. EDGE Jonathan Greenard will make his season debut after missing the team’s first two games.

Goedert avoided a serious injury, but the veteran tight end will still be sidelined for a few weeks. It’s a blow to an Eagles passing game that has struggled coming out of the gate, as Goedert has already tallied five receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns in the first six quarters of football he has played this season. Veteran TE Johnny Mundt should be the favorite to replace Goedert going forward; he stepped in to play 49 snaps against the Titans. Mundt has 76 career receptions in 116 games and shouldn’t be viewed as an option to replace Goedert in fantasy leagues.

Goedert exited in the second quarter of Sunday’s game and did not return to the field. The 31-year-old tight end will undergo an MRI to confirm the severity of his injury, but it sounds like he could be at risk of missing some time. With rookie tight end Eli Stowers (quad) already on injured reserve, veteran Johnny Mundt would be in line to see an increased role after leading all Eagles tight ends in snaps (49) and routes run (20) against the Titans. Mundt caught just two passes for eight yards and will not be on the fantasy radar for Week 3 against the Bears even if he does draw the start.

Goedert got roughed up run blocking early in the second quarter. He was then absent for the following drive, earning the questionable tag. It’s not a good development for someone with Goedert’s injury history, though to the naked eye, it did not have the looks of a season-ending injury. Goedert had a four-yard catch on two targets before departing. Johnny Mundt is the next man up at tight end. Second-round rookie Eli Stowers (quad, hamstring) is currently on injured reserve.

Goedert found himself on the receiving end of two touchdown passes from Jalen Hurts, with the first coming on a 17-yard strike in the end zone on a third-and-goal from the Commanders’ 17-yard line. In the fourth quarter, Hurts and Goedert took advantage of some defensive miscommunications by the Commanders, which resulted in a 43-yard touchdown after a long catch-and-run by Goedert, who totaled 29 yards after the catch on his way to the end zone. Goedert continues to be a reliable red zone threat and is coming off a season in which he totaled a career-high 11 touchdowns. He’s off to a strong start to this season and will be a boom/bust option in next week’s game against the Titans.

The two sides have been working hard to make this happen, having agreed to postpone the void date on Goedert’s expiring contract twice in the last week. Re-signing Goedert keeps him on board through the 2026 season and allows the Eagles to spread out the $20.5 million cap hit they were set to absorb. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo previously suggested that the Eagles can’t pay Goedert if they keep A.J. Brown, and they can’t take both salary cap hits. One domino has fallen. Only time will tell if Garafolo was correct. Stay tuned.

On Wednesday, the Eagles bumped Goedert’s void date back to today. The two sides are attempting to negotiate an extension that would keep Goedert, 31, in an Eagles uniform. It is clear that both sides would like to come to an agreement, but it is possible that Goedert is pricing himself out of the Eagles’ salary cap comfort zone. At the end of the day, it seems likely that they will work something out.

Goedert was set to become a free agent, but the sides are trying to hammer out a new deal. All but traded by the Eagles last year, a deal never quite came to fruition, and then 30-year-old Goedert had one of his best overall campaigns. With A.J. Brown’s Eagles future remaining up in the air, losing Goedert could be a luxury the Eagles can no longer afford. The fact that Goedert has willingly pushed back the date strongly suggests an agreement will get done.
