Best Ball Guy insisted you "gotta go Goedert with Hurts," calling the stack "just beauty." By pairing Dallas Goedert with Jalen Hurts, you capture every red-zone throw from the league’s most QB-friendly offense and add spike-week upside at a notoriously thin tight-end position. It also streamlines roster construction, letting you stop at two quarterbacks and two tight ends while chasing wide-receiver depth elsewhere. In small-field contests like the $50 Chow Chow, he believes the Hurts-Goedert combo offers the perfect mix of floor and ceiling to separate you from the pack.

Chris Raybon labeled Dallas Goddard the perfect ‘boring but profitable’ tight-end pick after he slid to TE14 in early best-ball drafts. Philadelphia logged its lowest pass rate of the Jalen Hurts era last season thanks to a run-first game-plan spawned by constant positive scripts and Saquon Barkley’s breakaway runs. Raybon expects that pendulum to swing back toward the air, noting that it takes very little target inflation for a tight end to jump from TE14 to TE5. Goddard already flashed that ceiling whenever one of the Eagles’ big three weapons missed time, and the range-of-outcomes for A.J. Brown, DeVonta Smith or Barkley includes injuries that would funnel even more looks inside. With Travis Kelce aging, Mark Andrews coming off surgery, and a wide gap between the elite tier and everyone else, Raybon sees Goddard as a cheap way to soak up top-five upside while others chase sexier names. He is locking Goddard in as his TE2 when early builds ignore the position, confident the veteran will beat ADP far more often than the market believes.

Chris Raybon doubled down on Dallas Goedert as his favorite mid-range tight end, citing an inevitable regression upward in Jalen Hurts’ pass attempts. Raybon said volume is more stable than efficiency for quarterbacks, and it is hard to envision Hurts averaging only 25–26 throws again. With Kevin Moore gone and the defense likely taking a step back, Raybon projects more neutral-to-negative scripts that push Philadelphia toward the league average in passing volume. That bump, plus the fact that Travis Kelce is aging and Mark Andrews is sharing snaps with Isaiah Likely, makes Goedert’s current TE12-15 price a steal. Raybon praised Goedert’s route rate (85–90 %) and argued he owns the highest weekly floor in that tier—roughly four catches and 50 yards—with upside for extra red-zone work now that Saquon Barkley could siphon fewer goal-line rushes. He prefers the veteran’s bankable usage to rookie wildcards like Colston Loveland and Tyler Warren in season-long formats.

Chris Raybon is scooping up Dallas Goedert as a discount swing at TE1 production. Goedert ran routes on 85-90 % of snaps when healthy last season and logged 90 % in each of Philly’s last three playoff games. Raybon expects the entire Eagles pass game to bounce back because: 1) Kevin Moore’s exit and a first-place schedule should force more neutral-and-negative scripts, lifting overall pass attempts; 2) the defense lost talent, again nudging volume; and 3) Saquon Barkley’s arrival could steal goal-line rush TDs but should extend drives, giving Hurts more red-zone throws. With mid-range tight ends perennially volatile, Raybon likes a player who is always on the field, carries proven YAC chops, and is priced outside the top-10 at the position.

JSU called Dallas Goedert one of the easiest tight-end clicks in DraftKings best-ball rooms. He admitted Goedert "runs like he’s in quicksand," yet argued that very perception is what buries the veteran’s ADP. Despite the lack of long-speed, Goedert keeps popping wide-open – JSU reminded viewers of last season’s Saints game where Goedert had acres of space on several $2,700 DFS routes. With drafters chasing A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, Goedert’s steady volume and red-zone trust from Jalen Hurts are being overlooked. JSU said he’s perfectly happy scooping the Eagle as a cheap TE1/TE2 because the market is paying too much attention to highlight-reel athleticism and not enough to how often Goedert simply gets the ball.

Ian Hartitz advised passing on Dallas Goedert at his current top-eight positional price. Hartitz called Goedert "kind of washed" and pointed out that the veteran has finished between TE9 and TE11 in points per game each of the past three seasons despite sky-high route participation. With A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith dominating high-value targets and Kellen Moore expected to lean even more on vertical concepts, Hartitz sees no realistic path for Goedert to climb into the top five. He contrasted Goedert’s capped ceiling with Njoku’s proven 18-point upside and suggested drafters wait two rounds to grab a tight end who can actually swing matchups. In his view, selecting Goedert is paying near-ceiling price for a player whose upside is exactly where he’s being drafted.

Drafting Dallas Goedert at pick 140 is "totally fine" according to Best Ball Guy, particularly with Dalton Kincaid still dealing with an unreported knee issue. Goedert carries a proven 20-plus point weekly ceiling in an Eagles attack that routinely ranks top-five in red-zone pass rate. The host prefers banking on that health certainty instead of chasing Kincaid’s questionable status, noting that pairing two upside tight ends like Goedert and George Kittle gives drafters tournament-winning spike-week potential without spending early-round capital.

Pat Fitzmaurice said Dallas Goedert is one of the easiest buy-low targets in Dynasty right now because the market is irrationally pricing him outside the top-20 tight ends on KeepTradeCut’s ADP board. Fitzmaurice pointed out that Goedert has produced mid-range TE1 numbers whenever he’s healthy—even last season when the Eagles led the league in run-rate. He argued that Goedert’s weekly floor is already playable, but the contingency upside is massive: if either A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith were to miss time, Goedert’s target share would spike immediately. Fitzmaurice added that any reversion toward a more balanced pass/run split under new OC Kellen Moore would further juice that upside. Because managers will soon shift into redraft mode (which historically drives the price of proven veterans back up), Fitzmaurice framed the current period as the "last discount window" to steal a 29-year-old tight end who could still give two to three top-10 seasons.

Davis Mattek grabbed Dallas Goedert at pick 137 and noted the Eagle tight end is now available later than he was last summer (2024 closing ADP: late 10th round). Mattek views that slide as easy accumulation of closing-line value, especially for builds that already locked up an anchor tight end. He framed Goedert as the highest-ranked name left on the ADP sheet, making him a straightforward way to keep harvesting 2024 value pockets in 2025 best-ball rooms.

Pat Fantasy Dog Pound flagged Dallas Goedert as the tight-end discount of the week. He noted that Goedert’s ADP briefly cratered into the 160s because drafters panicked over April trade rumors, but the veteran just re-worked his deal, "is going to be on the Eagles this year," and has already bounced back to pick 125 in sharper rooms. Pat thinks that correction is still too slow. Goedert has never finished outside the top-10 tight ends in targets per route run while healthy and remains Jalen Hurts’ most reliable middle-of-the-field option. With Nick Sirianni keeping the same pass-rate-over-expectation and no rookie TE threat on the depth chart, Pat believes Goedert belongs at the top of the muddled TE7-TE10 tier and should be snapped up anywhere after pick 110 in Best Ball Mania 6.

Eric Luttrell could not believe Dallas Goedert lasted to pick 159 as the 14th tight end off the board. He emphasized that Philadelphia added zero target competition in free agency or the draft and that the rumor mill around a possible trade has cooled. At his current cost you are paying a late-Round-14 price for a player who has averaged a 19 percent target share and 1.8 yards per route over the last three seasons—numbers that normally sit in the Round-9/10 tier. Eric reminded drafters that the new 20-round format rewards grabbing a single bankable TE early and then punting the position, calling Goedert “the perfect one-and-done anchor” when he slips past the 12-turn.
