Officially placed on IR
Goedert (knee) was officially placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Analysis: This was reported earlier by various sources, but it was officially confirmed by the team later in the day. Grant Calcaterra and C.J. Uzomah will be tasked with taking on the work vacated by Goedert, who will be eligible to return during the team's final week of the regular season.

Headed for IR
The Eagles are expected to place Goedert (knee) on injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Network report.
Analysis: Goedert will have to miss at least the next four games once he's officially placed on IR, making him ineligible to return to the 53-man roster until Week 18. Rapoport suggests that the Eagles' goal is ensuring that Goedert is back to full speed heading into the playoffs, so the tight end's absence could be extended through the Jan. 5 regular-season finale versus the Giants. While Goedert missed time with a hamstring injury from Weeks 7 through 9, Grant Calcaterra filled in as the Eagles' top…read more

Ruled out
Goedert (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Eagles coach Nick Sirianni used the term "week to week" after Goedert was forced out of last Sunday's win over the Ravens. The tight end didn't practice at all this week, which suggests he's in danger of missing time beyond Sunday. Grant Calcaterra figures to fill in as the starting tight end -- a role he handled for nearly a month earlier this season when Goedert was out with a hamstring injury.

Goedert (knee) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Goedert hasn't been on the field for either of the Eagles' first two practices of Week 14 prep, with his absences having been fully expected after Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reported Monday that the tight end was considered week-to-week due to the knee injury he sustained in this past Sunday's win over the Ravens.

Absent from practice Wednesday
Goedert (knee) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Andrew DiCecco of InsideTheBirds.com reports.
Analysis: Goedert's absence from practice Wednesday comes as little surprise, given that he was labeled week-to-week after suffering a knee injury during Philadelphia's 24-19 win over the Ravens this past Sunday. The tight end could be a candidate for injured reserve, which would require him to miss at least four games. While the Eagles haven't officially ruled Goedert out for Sunday's game against the Panthers yet, the expectation is that Grant Calcaterra will step in as the Eagles' starting tight end…read more

Considered week-to-week
Goedert (knee) is considered week-to-week and could be a candidate for injured reserve, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: The injury isn't believed to be season-ending for Goedert, but a four-week stint on injured reserve appears to be an option. In doing so, the Eagles would not have him back until Week 18. For now, Goedert should be considered doubtful, at best, for next Sunday's game against the Panthers. He previously missed three games earlier this season with a hamstring injury. In his absence, Grant Calcaterra played 90-plus percent of the snaps twice in those three contests. Calcaterra likely will slide…read more

Looks to have avoided major injury
The Eagles are optimistic that Goedert avoided a significant knee injury in Sunday's 24-19 win over the Ravens based on his initial evaluation, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Goedert played 40 of the Eagles' 56 offensive snaps and recorded three receptions for 35 yards and a touchdown on four targets before exiting in the fourth quarter. Though he appears to have avoided any structural damage to his knee, Goedert presumably will head in for an MRI on Monday as the Eagles determine the extent of the injury. Even if Goedert is diagnosed with a minor knee sprain, his availability for next Sunday's game against the Panthers could be in jeopardy.

Hurts knee against Ravens
Goedert is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens due to a knee injury, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Goedert caught three of four targets for 35 yards and a touchdown before getting hurt in the second half. His 17-yard touchdown reception in the second quarter accounted for Philadelphia's first points. Grant Calcaterra operated as Philadelphia's top tight end when Goedert missed three games due to a hamstring injury earlier this season.

Mild production off four receptions
Goedert caught four of five targets for 19 yards in Sunday's 37-20 victory over the Rams.
Analysis: Goedert finished second in targets and receptions in a run-heavy game plan as the Eagles handled the Rams with ease. The 29-year-old didn't do much with his opportunities, resulting in his lowest yardage total in a game with a reception this season. Sunday's dud comes on the heels of a pair of solid fantasy outings, so managers rostering Goedert should stick with him ahead of next Sunday's tilt at Baltimore.

Productive outing in win
Goedert secured all five targets for 61 yards in the Eagles' 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by Philadelphia.
Analysis: Goedert tied A.J. Brown for the team lead in receptions and checked in second to his teammate in receiving yards. The veteran tight end also was able to recover the Commanders' last-gasp onside kick, sealing the victory for Philadelphia. Goedert had managed an ankle injury during the week, but by posting his third-highest reception and receiving yardage totals of the season, it's evident he's past the issue.

Set to play Thursday
Goedert (ankle) practiced fully Wednesday and doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game versus the Commanders.
Analysis: Goedert opened Week 11 prep listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report due to an ankle issue before being deemed a limited participant at Tuesday's walkthrough. With an uncapped session under his belt Wednesday, he'll be on the field Thursday against a Washington defense that has conceded the third-most receiving touchdowns (five) to opposing tight ends in 10 contests this season.

Limited on practice estimate
The Eagles listed Goedert (ankle) as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Though the Eagles merely held a walkthrough Tuesday, Goedert's limited listing represents a step forward from Monday, when he appeared on the team's initial Week 11 injury report as a non-participant. Goedert made his return from a three-game absence in this past Sunday's win over the Cowboys and showed no signs of the hamstring injury that had sidelined him. Even though Goedert is now being listed with a new injury, the expectation is that he will play Thursday against the Commanders.

Estimated as non-practice participant
Goedert (ankle) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Analysis: In his return from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury, Goedert logged a 63 percent snap share while catching two of his three targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-6 win over Dallas. The fact that the tight end is listed with an ankle issue on Monday's report is worth noting, with added context on his status for Thursday night's game against the Commanders slated to arrive no later than Tuesday's practice.

Nabs touchdown Sunday
Goedert (hamstring) had two receptions on three targets for 25 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 34-6 win over Dallas.
Analysis: Goedert returned from a three-game absence due to a hamstring injury to reclaim his role as the Eagles' starting tight end. The 29-year-old didn't post big receiving numbers, but he still helped fantasy managers by cashing in Philadelphia's lone passing touchdown on the day. Now healthy, Goedert should resume being a standard league starting option after racking up 17 receptions for 232 yards in his two full games prior to injuring his hamstring in Week 6.

Logs full practice Thursday
Goedert (hamstring) practiced fully Thursday, Dave Spadaro of the Eagles' official site reports.
Analysis: Goedert got back on the field for the first time since he injured his hamstring in a Week 6 matchup with the Browns at Wednesday's walkthrough. His ensuing listing of full participant was encouraging, but his ability to handle every rep in an actual practice one day later is the key sign that he'll be available Sunday at Dallas. Goedert thus is poised to take over his spot as the Eagles' No. 1 tight end from Grant Calcaterra.

Listed as full participant
Goedert (hamstring) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report and suggested afterward that he plans to play Sunday at Dallas, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Goedert participated in practice for the first tim since injuring his hamstring Week 6, with his absence opening the door for fellow Eagles tight end Grant Calcaterra to play at least 90 percent of snaps in three of the past four games. The team's decision to list Goedert as a full participant is a strong hint he'll play Sunday, although Wednesday's session was only a walk-through and not a higher-intensity practice.

Ruled out for Week 8
Goedert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest at Cincinnati.
Analysis: Goedert thus will miss a second game in a row due to the strained hamstring that he suffered back in Week 6 against the Browns. Considering he hasn't practiced in the meantime, he likely will need to do so in some capacity in order to have a chance to return to action Week 9 versus the Jaguars.

He'll almost certainly need to get back on the field in some capacity Friday to have a chance at avoiding a second consecutive missed game this Sunday against the Bengals.

Goedert (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Goedert hasn't practiced since making an early exit from Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns. He left after just three snaps, with fellow tight end Grant Calcaterra then handling a 92 percent snap share and 88 percent route share while catching each of his four targets for 67 yards.

Analysis: Goedert was injured on the third play of the game on a pass thrown his way that fell incomplete. He was initially deemed questionable to return before being ruled out shortly after halftime. With Goedert unable to return Sunday, Grant Calcaterra has taken over most of the work at tight end for Philadelphia. It's unclear at this time whether Goedert is at risk of missing next Sunday's clash with the Giants, and his participation during Week 7 prep should shed light on that matter.

Goedert brought in seven of eight targets for 62 yards in the Eagles' 33-16 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Analysis: With A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) both sidelined, Goedert unsurprisingly led the Eagles in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. The talented tight end was coming off a stellar 10-catch, 170-yard performance against the Saints in Week 3, and although his numbers were markedly less spectacular Sunday, he still provided fantasy managers with a useful tally.

The Eagles may have just been lightening his practice workload after a 170-yard explosion in the Week 3 win at New Orleans.

Analysis: Goedert was already expected to see an uptick in targets with A.J. Brown (hamstring) inactive, but he garnered an even bigger role in the air attack once DeVonta Smith exited the game in the second half with a concussion. Goedert recorded two receptions totaling 91 yards after Smith exited the contest, the second a critical 61-yard grab on third down that brought the ball down to the Saints' four-yard line with 1:16 remaining.

Analysis: Goedert finished as the Eagles' second-leading receiver now that the team will be without the services of star wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring) for multiple weeks. The starting tight end has turned in two pedestrian fantasy scores through two games this season, but fantasy managers shouldn't give up on the 2018 second-round pick so quickly, as the team has a need for auxiliary targets behind DeVonta Smith for Sunday's tilt against the Saints.

Analysis: Goedert has been a full participant at training camp, but Philadelphia's first-team offense hasn't yet been called up for preseason action. The starting tight end is coming off a 2023 campaign in which he suited up for 14 regular-season games and put together a 59-592-3 receiving line.

Catches only TD for PHI
Goedert finished with four receptions (on six targets) for 21 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 32-9 playoff loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Goedert caught the only touchdown pass Jalen Hurts would throw against the Buccaneers in what turned out to be a dud of a game from the Eagles. The tight end generated some fantasy value for DFS players with his postseason score, putting a nice garnish on an otherwise bland fantasy regular-season campaign (59-592-3). Goedert will look to expand on his new career high of 59 receptions in the final year of his current contract with the Eagles in the upcoming 2024 season.

Minor role in Week 18
Goedert caught one pass for four yards in Sunday's loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Goedert needed only one catch to set a new career high in receptions (59), and one catch is all he got. While he'll end the year with a personal best in that category, his 592 yards represent his lowest mark since his rookie season, while his three touchdowns tied a career low. He also missed three games this season, bringing his total to 14 games missed over the last four years.

Ties career mark in receptions
Goedert had five receptions on six targets for 47 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 35-31 loss to Cardinals.
Analysis: Goedert's five catches brought him up to 58 on the year, tying his previous personal best set back in 2019. The 28-year-old also caught one of Jalen Hurts' three touchdown passes Sunday, giving the tight end three receiving scores through 13 active games. Goedert's 2023 season will stand alone as his highest reception total if he can simply secure one catch in the regular-season finale against the Giants in Week 18.

Goedert secured four of nine targets for 30 yards in the Eagles' 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Monday night.
Analysis: Goedert finished with the second-most targets on the night for the Eagles yet did little with them, leading to his second straight 4-30-0 line.

Goedert (forearm) brought in all four targets for 30 yards in the Eagles' 33-13 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night.
Analysis: Goedert's return from a three-game absence was a relatively quiet one on a night when Jalen Hurts threw for just 197 yards. The talented tight end finished a distant third in receiving yards and targets behind the starting wideout duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, but he should have a chance to boost his production back up in a more palatable Week 15 matchup on the road against the Seahawks on Monday night, Dec, 18.

Full participant in walkthrough
Goedert (forearm) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Goedert made his second on-field appearance since fracturing his right forearm back in Week 9, though Wednesday's session was a walk-through rather than a traditional practice. Prior to suffering the injury, Goedert never fell below a 76 percent snap share on a weekly basis, resulting in a 38-410-2 receiving line on 52 targets in nine games. Assuming he suits up Sunday at Dallas, Goedert should be poised for a similar workload alongside wide receivers A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Inactive Sunday, as expected
Goedert (forearm) is inactive for Sunday's game against the 49ers.
Analysis: Goedert will miss a third consecutive contest due to the broken right forearm that he suffered Week 9, but he made notable progress in his recovery effort during Week 13 prep, catching passes on the side Thursday before returning to practice as a limited participant Friday. With Goedert sidelined, Jack Stoll and Grant Calcaterra (ankle) will handle most of the tight end reps for the Eagles, while Albert Okwuegbunam is on hand for his typical handful of snaps. Goedert will set his sights on…read more

Goedert (forearm) will not play in Week 13 against the Niners, Jay Glazer reported on Fox NFL Sunday.

Status in doubt for Sunday
Goedert (forearm) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's contest versus the 49ers.
Analysis: Goedert has made a strikingly fast recovery from a broken right forearm that he suffered Week 9 and required a subsequent surgery. After he was seen catching passes on the side Thursday, he proceeded to mix into drills Friday for the first time since sustaining the injury. Goedert was deemed a limited participant in his return to practice, but his designation of doubtful doesn't give him much of a chance to be available this weekend. Having said that, he told Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia…read more

Goedert (forearm) was held out of practice Thursday.
Analysis: Somewhat encouragingly, Goedert was spotted catching passes on the side during Thursday's session, per Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer. However, Goedert continues to sit out actual drills just three days out from Sunday's huge matchup with the 49ers. According to James Palmer of NFL Network, Goedert intended to push toward returning to action this weekend from the broken forearm that he suffered Week 9, but his lack of on-field activity so far seemingly puts him on the outside…read more

Goedert (forearm) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Goedert has yet to practice since breaking his right forearm Week 9 and subsequently undergoing surgery to address the issue. Because of the Eagles' Week 10 bye, he's missed only two games as a result of the injury, and recent rumblings out of Philadelphia have suggested that Goedert is making an attempt to be available Sunday against the 49ers, per James Palmer of NFL Network.

Pushing to play in Week 13
Goedert (forearm) is targeting a return to the field Sunday versus the 49ers, James Palmer of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Goedert's potential participation in practice this week will better illuminate his chances of suiting up Week 13. The tight end hasn't played since Week 9 due to a fractured right forearm, though due to the timing of Philadelphia's Week 10 bye he's only actually missed two games so far. Palmer reports that whether or not Goedert can go versus the 49ers, the Eagles consider it realistic for him to be on the field for the Week 14 divisional matchup against the Cowboys.

Ruled out but making progress
Goedert (forearm) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Buffalo, but he's healing quicker than initially expected and has been able to do cardio workouts, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Coach Nick Sirianni told reporters there's a reason Goedert wasn't placed on injured reserve, hinting that the tight end has a chance to return before missing four games. It'll be his second absence when the Eagles face the Bills on Sunday, leaving Jack Stoll and Albert Okwuegbunam as the healthy tight ends, with Grant Calcaterra (ankle) set to join Goedert on the inactive list.

Still not practicing
Goedert (forearm) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: After fracturing his right forearm Week 9 and undergoing surgery, Goedert was expected to miss multiple weeks. So far, he's sat out just one game (Week 11) due to the Eagles having a Week 10 bye, but his lack of activity Wednesday indicates another absence may be on tap Sunday versus the Bills. The Eagles likely will clear up Goedert's status for Week 12 by the time they post their final practice report Friday.

Officially ruled out vs. Chiefs
Goedert (forearm) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Chiefs.
Analysis: Goedert was already considered highly unlikely to play Monday after fracturing his right forearm in the Eagles' Week 9 win over Dallas, so it comes as little surprise that he's ultimately been ruled out for Philadelphia's first game coming out of a Week 10 bye. He didn't practice in any capacity this week, but Brooks Kubena of The Athletic relays that head coach Nick Sirianni expressed optimism that the tight end would be able to return before missing three more games.

Goedert (forearm) isn't practicing Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: While not officially ruled out this week, Goedert is expected to miss multiple games after suffering a broken forearm Week 9 against the Cowboys and subsequently having surgery. A Week 10 bye worked in his favor, but the Eagles nonetheless figure to rely on Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra (concussion) and/or Albert Okwuegbunam at tight end this Monday against the Chiefs.

Facing expected four-week absence
Goedert is expected to have surgery as soon as Monday to address a fractured right forearm and is likely facing a four-week recovery timeline, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The tight end suffered the injury late in the second half of Sunday's 28-23 win over the Cowboys and finished the game with three receptions for 50 yards on four targets. Though Goedert is scheduled to undergo an MRI early Monday before a final determination is made on surgery, the expectation is that he'll go under the knife later in the day. The Eagles are on bye in Week 10, so if the estimated four-week recovery timeline proves to be accurate, Goedert could avoid injured reserve if the team…read more

To miss time with fractured forearm
Goedert suffered a fractured forearm in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Cowboys and is a candidate to go on injured reserve, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Goedert exited in the second half of Sunday's win after landing on his arm at the end of a catch-and-run. The tight end will get an MRI on Monday to determine the extent of the injury, but even the most optimistic scenario at this point would likely result in him missing time.

Goedert will finish Sunday's game with three catches for 50 yards on four targets.

Has forearm injury
Goedert officially was diagnosed with a right forearm injury during Sunday's game versus the Cowboys, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: At the end of a 28-yard catch and run, Goedert had his right arm twisted to the ground and also landed hard on that region, which forced him to the locker room late in the third quarter. Per Zangaro, X-rays were ordered up for Goedert before he was deemed questionable to return. Jack Stoll and Albert Okwuegbunam are the only other healthy tight ends on the active roster with Grant Calcaterra (concussion) inactive.

Departs Sunday's game early
Goedert went to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Cowboys to have his right arm examined, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: At the end of a 28-yard catch and run late in the third quarter, Goedert remained on the turf and was tended to by Eagles trainers before leaving the field. If he's unable to return, he'll come out of Week 9 with three receptions (on four targets) for 50 yards and no touchdowns. With Grant Calcaterra (concussion) inactive, Jack Stoll and Albert Okwuegbunam are the team's healthy and available tight ends.

Four catches in win
Goedert secured four of seven targets for 36 yards in the Eagles' 38-31 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Analysis: Goedert saw the top wideout duo of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith garner the majority of Jalen Hurts' attention, as he finished a distant third in receptions and receiving yards to his pair of talented teammates. The veteran tight end's middling yardage number was his first tally below 40 since Week 4 against this same Commanders squad, but he could be more involved in a Week 9 home showdown against the Cowboys.

Scores second TD on SNF
Goedert (groin) brought in all five of his targets for 77 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-17 win over the Dolphins.
Analysis: A undermanned Dolphins defense had its hands full trying to contain Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' talented group of wideouts, creating plenty of mismatches for Goedert to take advantage of by going across the middle Sunday. The 28-year-old was limited by a groin injury during the practice week, but the tight end's play was clearly unaffected as he barreled into the end zone for his second touchdown in three weeks. Goedert's recent hot streak has helped erase a rough start to start the season,…read more

Good to go
Goedert (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Miami.
Analysis: Goedert was a limited practice participant throughout the week and should be ready for his usual three-down role Sunday night. He's produced just one big receiving line in six tries this year, but better days should be ahead given that his playing time and usage stats don't look much different from last season's.

Limited by groin issue
Goedert was a limited participant at Wednesday's walk-through practice due to a groin injury.
Analysis: Aside from turning in a 8-117-1 receiving line on nine targets Week 5 at the Rams, Goedert has accounted for just 18 catches (on 27 targets) for 130 yards and no scores in his other five contests this season. With a health concern in tow to kick off Week 7 prep, his status will be one to watch as the weekend approaches to get a sense of his availability for Sunday's game against the Dolphins.

Goedert had five receptions on eight targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 20-14 loss to the Jets.
Analysis: Goedert followed up his standout performance against the Rams with another productive game in Week 6. Philadelphia's starting tight end was unable to recreate his trip to the end zone, but he remained a focal part of the passing attack with eight more targets Sunday. Goedert's improved play comes right as the Eagles prepare to face the Dolphins' high-scoring offense when the Super Bowl hopefuls meet in Week 7.

Monster game in win
Goedert had eight receptions on nine targets for 117 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Rams.
Analysis: Goedert finally broke out with a monster fantasy line following a pedestrian start to the year in which he averaged just 22 receiving yards with no touchdowns over his first four contests. The 28-year-old actually surpassed the combined fantasy production from his four-game slump in one go Sunday. While this was a step in the right direction, Goedert will have to generate consistent results in order to become a top fantasy tight end.

Quiet game in Week 4
Goedert caught two of four targets for 25 yards in Sunday's overtime win against Washington.
Analysis: Jalen Hurts tied his season high with 37 pass attempts, but 13 of those went to A.J. Brown and nine more went to DeVonta Smith, leaving little for Goedert to work with. The quiet Week 4 performance means Goedert now is averaging just 3.3 catches and 22.0 yards per game. He's also yet to score a touchdown. The sixth-year tight end will look to get his season going Sunday against the Rams.

Seven more targets in Week 3
Goedert caught five of seven targets for 41 yards in Monday's 25-11 win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Goedert has notched seven targets in consecutive games after being targeted only once in the opener, but the tight end is being used as a security valve rather than a downfield threat. He has just 63 yards through three games after averaging 56.7 yards per game played over the previous two seasons, and Goedert has yet to find the end zone in 2023.

Does little on six catches
Goedert brought in six of seven targets for 22 yards in the Eagles' 34-28 win over the Vikings on Thursday night.
Analysis: On the bright side, Goedert recorded his first six grabs of the season, a tally that also served as a team-high figure. The talented tight end did all his work close to the line of scrimmage, however, and nine of his yards came on one reception. Goedert's meager production thus far appears to largely be circumstantial, as Jalen Hurts has thrown for under 200 yards in each of the first two games.

Focused on improving routes
Goedert has been spending more time with the Eagles wide receivers this spring to work on his routes and releases, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports reports.
Analysis: The tight end said he started spending more time with the WRs last season and has continued with it during/after spring workouts. Goedert caught 79.7 percent of his targets last year and had career highs for catches and yards per game -- 4.6 for 58.5 -- but he missed five straight weeks with a shoulder injury and finished at 55/702/3, down from 56/830/4 in 15 games the year before.

Six catches in Super Bowl defeat
Goedert recorded six receptions on seven targets for 60 yards in Sunday's 38-35 Super Bowl loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Goedert concluded his postseason in strong fashion, and he tallied at least five receptions in all three games. His Super Bowl performance was highlighted by a pair of 17-yard receptions on a drive midway through the third quarter to help set up a field goal. In five seasons with the Eagles, Goedert has topped 50 receptions on three occasions and likely will return to the team in 2023, as he's still under a four-year contract.

Team-high five grabs Sunday
Goedert caught five of six targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 31-7 win over the 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.
Analysis: It wasn't a big performance by any means, but the tight end's five receptions actually led the Eagles in a game where they didn't need to throw the ball much after the loss of Brock Purdy (elbow) derailed the Niners offense. Goedert has a 10-81-1 line on 11 targets through two playoff games this season, and he figures to have a solid floor with some upside potential in two weeks during the Super Bowl.

Productive in divisional-round win
Goedert secured all five targets for 58 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 38-7 divisional-round win over the Giants on Saturday night.
Analysis: Goedert checked in second in receptions and receiving yards to DeVonta Smith for the Eagles, and he was on the receiving end of a 16-yard touchdown toss from Jalen Hurts that opened the scoring on the night. The fifth-year tight end just missed out on a second score two possessions later when he was brought down on the three-yard line, but Goedert will head into an NFC Championship Game battle versus either the Cowboys or 49ers a week from Sunday with plenty of momentum.

Goedert caught six of seven targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 22-16 win over the Giants.

The tight end wraps up the regular season with 55 catches on 69 targets for 702 yards and three touchdowns over 12 contests, and Goedert and Hurts will both get an extra week to rest and heal with the Eagles having secured a first-round bye and the top seed in the NFC.

Goedert still managed to turn in a respectable performance, highlighted by receptions of 18 and 15 yards in the second half as the Eagles tried to get back into the game.

Looks on track to play
Goedert (shoulder) wouldn't confirm Wednesday that he'll play Sunday against the Bears, but he took part in practice and appears on track to return from injured reserve this weekend, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Goedert won't be included on the official injury report because he's technically still on injured reserve. The Eagles designated him for return from IR on Wednesday, opening a 21-day window in which he can practice with the team while not counting against the active roster. He'll likely be back on the roster soon enough, however, and quite possibly in time for the matchup with the Bears. The tight end has already resided on IR for the minimum amount of four games.

The 27-year-old's impact on offense can't be understated, especially as Philadelphia eyes a playoff run, so the tight end's health will be one of the team's top priorities.

Analysis: Though Goedert is eyeing a minimum-length stay on IR, a decision on when he's available to play again will ultimately hinge on how his shoulder responds in the coming weeks. The Eagles are left with Jack Stoll, Grant Calcaterra and Tyree Jackson at tight end, but none of those three players are likely to directly inherit the 5.8 targets per game that Goedert has averaged this season.

Analysis: The exact nature of Goedert's injury isn't yet known, nor has a timeline for a return been established or a decision been made on whether or not he'll go on injured reserve, but the Eagles don't believe the tight end will be lost for the season. In Monday's game, Goedert recorded three receptions for 23 yards and a touchdown on three targets, but he had a key lost fumble in the fourth quarter. On that lost fumble, Goedert was grabbed in the facemask by a Washington defender, but a penalty…read more

Records TD, fumble in Week 10 loss
Goedert caught all three of his targets for 23 yards and a touchdown but also lost a fumble in Monday's 32-21 loss to the Commanders.
Analysis: Goedert gave the Eagles a 14-7 lead with a six-yard touchdown catch late in the first quarter, but Washington stormed back with 13 unanswered points in the second to take a 20-14 lead into the locker room. After Philadelphia cut the deficit to two in the fourth quarter, Goedert lost possession of the ball while being brought down by his facemask. The facemask went unnoticed but the fumble stood, and Goedert headed to the blue medical tent after the play, adding injury to insult. He returned on…read more

Paces pass catchers in Week 9 win
Goedert brought in eight of nine targets for 100 yards and a touchdown during the Eagles' 29-17 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
Analysis: Goedert and Jalen Hurts consistently tormented the Texans' defense throughout the night, the former pacing the Eagles in receptions, receiving yards and targets in the process. The fifth-year tight end's catch total tied a season high as well, and the 100-yard effort was his first since Week 15 of last season. Goedert recorded his second touchdown of the season on a four-yard grab early in the fourth quarter for good measure, and he'll next take aim at the Commanders in a Week 10 home…read more

Racks up six receptions
Goedert recorded six receptions on six targets for 64 yards in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Steelers.
Analysis: Goedert was extremely efficient with his targets and managed to finish tied for the team lead with six receptions, his second-highest total of the season. He chipped in long gains of 17 and 16 yards, though he failed to tally a reception of 20 yards or more for only the second time in seven games this season. Goedert remains relatively uninvolved near the end zone, though he's otherwise held a consistent role, as he now has at least five receptions in four contests on the campaign.

Limited to two receptions
Goedert caught two of five targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Goedert was asked to stay back and block a little more than he is used to following the early departure of star right tackle Lane Johnson (concussion), which is part of the reason he finished with such a forgettable stat line. The 27-year-old was providing consistent production with at least six standard fantasy points in every game prior to Sunday's dud. Goedert's fantasy managers will have to wait until after the Eagles' upcoming bye week to see if he can bounce back against the Steelers on…read more

Strong efficiency on nine targets
Goedert caught eight passes for 95 yards on nine targets against Arizona on Sunday.
Analysis: Goedert has been highly effective for the Eagles thus far in 2022, turning 29 targets into 24 receptions for 335 yards and a touchdown. The one issue is that his target volume is rather modest as he competes for targets against two star wide receivers, and Goedert might be hard-pressed to maintain his excellent efficiency. Regardless of the week-to-week fluctuation, Goedert should provide standout tight end production in one of the league's most productive offenses. He faces Dallas in Week 6.

Gains 72 yards in victory
Goedert caught five of six targets for 72 yards in Sunday's 29-21 win over Jacksonville.
Analysis: Goedert was Jalen Hurts' second-favorite option Sunday, finishing just one target behind A.J. Brown. The 27-year-old is off to a promising start in 2022, racking up 240 yards and a touchdown on an 80 percent catch rate through four contests. Goedert remains a strong play at a shallow fantasy position against the Cardinals next Sunday.

Finds end zone
Goedert caught three passes for 26 yards and one touchdown on four targets against Washington on Sunday.
Analysis: Goedert briefly left the game with a shin issue but returned shortly afterward. Goedert made efficient use of his workload Sunday, but as a pass catcher, he might be a tad overqualified for the target count the Philadelphia offense can offer him. At the very least, it will be difficult for Goedert to draw heavy usage when DeVonta Smith (eight catches for 169 yards and one touchdown on 12 targets) and A.J. Brown (five catches for 85 yards and one touchdown 10 targets) produce like they did…read more

Paces team in yardage Monday
Goedert brought in five of six targets for 82 yards in the Eagles' 24-7 win over the Vikings on Monday night.
Analysis: Goedert paced the Eagles in receiving yardage and shared runner-up status in catches during what was a second straight impressive effort to open the season. The athletic tight end now has eight receptions for 142 yards over the Eagles' first pair of contests, with the 17.8 yards per catch particularly standing out and perhaps a sign of a bigger downfield role this season. Goedert will look to continue stretching the field in a Week 3 road divisional matchup against the Commanders on Sunday.

Three grabs in Week 1 win
Goedert brought in three of four targets for 60 yards in the Eagles' 38-35 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: The athletic tight end was second in receptions and receiving yards on the afternoon for the Eagles while also tying with Kenneth Gainwell as distant runner-ups to A.J. Brown in targets as well. Goedert's 27-yard reception was the highlight of his day and was a tangible reminder of his downfield prowess, but fantasy managers will be hoping to see a bit more equity in the target share between him and Brown in a Week 2 Monday night showdown at home against the Vikings on Sept. 19.

Not suiting up Saturday
Goedert isn't slated to play in Saturday's preseason game in Miami, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: Goedert thus will make just one appearance during exhibition season after connecting with Jalen Hurts for a 22-yard touchdown back in preseason Week 1 against the Jets. While the Eagles are among the most run-heavy teams in the NFL and wide receiver A.J. Brown now is a member of the team, Goedert still should have plenty of opportunities to make weekly contributions in the box score as he looks to build upon a 56-830-4 line on 76 targets in 15 games from the 2021 campaign.

Locked in as top TE
Goedert will enter training camp as the Eagles' starting tight end for the first time in his career, Dave Spadaro of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The 2018 second-round pick was a big part of Philadelphia's offense each of his first four seasons, but most of that time was spent working as the No. 2 behind Zach Ertz in schemes that used a lot of multi-TE looks. The team finally moved on from Ertz midway through last season, right around the same time coach Nick Sirianni switched to a run-first approach. While the Eagles may shift toward a more balanced, unpredictable approach this year, a big part of the reason is offseason acquisition…read more

Top receiver against Bucs
Goedert recorded six catches on 12 targets for 92 yards in Sunday's 31-15 wild-card round loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Goedert was one of the few Eagles who produced consistently throughout the game, and he led the team in most receiving stats. He found holes in the Tampa Bay secondary for several big plays, including catches that went for 28, 17 and 16 yards. The only thing missing from his performance was a trip to the end zone, with Kenneth Gainwell and Boston Scott instead tallying the team's touchdowns.

Gets involved again
Goedert recorded six receptions on seven targets for 71 yards in Sunday's 20-16 win over Washington.
Analysis: Goedert has fluctuated between being Jalen Hurts' favorite target and hardly being a part of the offense in recent weeks. He served in the former role Sunday and led the team in targets, yards and receptions. His performance was highlighted by four gains of more than 10 yards, with the only thing missing being a trip to the end zone. If Goedert is able to tally three catches in Week 18 against Dallas, he'll set a new career high for catches in a campaign. He currently has 56 grabs on the season.

The fourth-year tight end was coming off back-to-back 100-yard efforts, so to label his downturn Sunday as particularly disappointing, not to mention ill-timed, would be an understatement.

Goedert brought in seven of nine targets for 135 yards in the Eagles' 27-17 win over Washington on Tuesday night.

Delivers against Jets
Goedert recorded six catches on six targets for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 33-18 win over the Jets.
Analysis: Goedert came alive with Gardner Minshew under center, matching his highest catch total of the season. He particularly delivered early in the game by accounting for Philadelphia's first two touchdowns of the game with receptions of 36 and 25 yards. Given that the Eagles were up by two scores for much of the second half, Minshew took to the air only 10 times in the final two quarters. That limited Goedert's potential to further deliver, though he still managed top 100 yards for the first time…read more

Does nothing with three targets
Goedert caught one of his three targets for no yards in Sunday's 13-7 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: It seems the Giants' game plan in defending the passing game was centered around shutting down the Eagles' top two pass catchers in Goedert and DeVonta Smith while forcing someone else to make plays. The strategy worked to perfection, shutting the tight end down completely and limiting Smith to just 22 yards on two catches. The 26-year-old should be a good bet to bounce back against the Jets in Week 13.

Team-high yardage total in win
Goedert brought in five of eight targets for 62 yards in the Eagles' 40-29 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: Goedert cleared concussion protocol earlier in the week and then proceeded to turn in another rock-solid performance, one that saw him pace Philadelphia in both receptions and receiving yards. The fourth-year pro hasn't scored since Week 4, but he does have multiple receptions in every contest and arguably is Jalen Hurts' most trusted short/intermediate target. Goedert's next opportunity to get back into the end zone will come in a Week 12 road battle against the division rival Giants.

He'll soon become one of the highest-paid tight ends in the league, with Philadelphia presumably banking on his receiving production to improve now that he's not losing snaps and targets to Zach Ertz.

Analysis: The Eagles hardly needed to throw in this one, and when they did, they generally stayed short. As a result, Goedert ended up seeing half of Jalen Hurts' targets. In two games since the Zach Ertz trade, the 26-year-old has caught nine of 12 targets for 142 yards. He should be among the top tight ends in the league over the rest of the year.

The fourth-year tight end has yet to see more than five targets in a game, but he figures to be a key part of the Eagles' passing game in Week 8 against the Lions.

Finally alone atop depth chart
Goedert is the unquestioned no. 1 tight end for the Eagles now that Zach Ertz has been traded to Arizona, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Analysis: It's much later than expected, but it finally happened. The 2018 second-round pick finally gets the chance to be the Eagles' guy at tight end six weeks into his walk year. As a result, both Goedert and Ertz should each see a huge surge in value atop their respective teams' depth charts and without having to contend with the other for targets and snaps.

Analysis: As expected, Goedert wasn't able to clear all COVID-19-related health and safety protocols on a short week after it was revealed Tuesday he tested positive for the virus. Since he's fully vaccinated, Goedert will be eligible for reinstatement as soon as he's asymptomatic and submits two negative tests at least 24 hours apart.

Listed as DNP
Goedert (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Monday's walkthrough practice.
Analysis: Goedert was on the field for 45 of the Eagles' 67 snaps on offense in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers while catching two of his three targets for 28 yards. We'll revisit the tight end's practice participation level Tuesday, but for now his status should be monitored as Thursday night's game against the Buccaneers approaches.

Drops would-be TD
Goedert caught two of three targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 21-18 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Goedert dropped a potential go-ahead touchdown on his lone unsuccessful target, wasting an easy opportunity to improve his performance. Through five games, the tight end has totaled 15 catches on 19 looks for 216 yards and two scores, giving him modest value ahead of a tough matchup Thursday night against the Buccaneers in Week 6.

Scores TD, has another called back
Goedert caught all five of his targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.
Analysis: Goedert scored a three-yard touchdown in the first quarter to give the Eagles a 10-7 lead, then had what would have been his second touchdown of the first half wiped out by an illegal formation penalty. The 26-year-old tight end has developed a nice rapport with 23-year-old quarterback Jalen Hurts, forming a dangerous duo that appears primed to trouble defenses in the red zone for years to come. Goedert has two touchdowns through four games and will look to build on that total against the…read more

Season-high 66 yards in loss
Goedert caught two of his four targets for 66 yards in Monday's 41-21 loss to Dallas.
Analysis: Goedert looked like he might have been on his way to a big game when he caught the Eagles' first pass of the game for a 38-yard pickup. He would only see one more look in the half before starting the third quarter much the same way he started the first, with another big gain of 28 yards on the first play of the period. Unfortunately, the 26-year-old's production continues to be drained by the presence of Zach Ertz, who caught four balls on seven targets for 53 yards and a touchdown while…read more

Quiet in loss
Goedert recorded two receptions on two targets for 24 yards in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the 49ers.
Analysis: The Eagles didn't have much production through the air as a team, which trickled down to affect the pass catchers. Goedert finished second on the team with 24 yards, behind only Quez Watkins, who tallied 117. Things should open up more for the offense in Week 3 against Dallas, though Jalen Hurts has shown a tendency to spread the ball around, so Goedert may not have bankable volume moving forward.

Crosses goal line in opener
Goedert brought in four of five targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 32-6 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: The top receiving duo of DeVonta Smith and Jalen Reagor outpaced him in receptions and receiving yards, but Goedert joined his speedy pair of teammates in finding the end zone. The fourth-year tight end saw three more targets than position mate Zach Ertz, and he and quarterback Jalen Hurts looked like they hadn't missed a beat after their productive finish to the 2020 campaign. Goedert will look to build on the strong season-opening effort versus the 49ers in Week 2.

Sits out preseason finale
Goedert did not play in Friday's preseason game against the Jets.
Analysis: Goedert wasn't injured -- the Eagles just chose to give him the day off. Even with Zach Ertz still in town, the general expectation is that Goedert will take the lead in Philadelphia's tight end rotation this year, so the team needs him ready to make a leading contribution against Atlanta in Week 1.

Slated to play Thursday
Goedert is in line to play in Thursday's preseason contest versus the Patriots, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Analysis: Goedert and fellow tight end Zach Ertz were in the starting lineup in preseason Week 1 and appear poised to reprise their normal roles this week. Last Thursday, Goedert (five snaps on offense) hauled in his only target for 34 yards, while Ertz (seven such plays) had two catches for 20 yards on three targets. The three receptions between the pair doubled as Jalen Hurts' only completions of the game, reflecting Goedert and Ertz' places in the Eagles offense. But rookie first-round wideout DeVonta…read more

Taking over as top tight end
Goedert is expected to serve as the Eagles' top tight end this season, Glenn Erby of USA Today reports.
Analysis: Goedert outproduced Zach Ertz in 2020 as the former ascended to the top of the team's depth chart, hauling in 46 balls for 524 yards and three scores. With Ertz reportedly on the trading block or becoming a candidate for release prior to Week 1, Goedert stands to take another step forward statistically this season.

Won't play Sunday night
Goedert (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Washington.
Analysis: With Goedert and Richard Rodgers (ankle) both out, Zach Ertz could handle an every-down role. Then again, the Eagles have already been eliminated from the playoffs, and they might want to take a look at reserves like Caleb Wilson and Jason Croom at some point in the season finale. Goedert finishes his second season with a 46-524-3 receiving line in 11 games, doing well to average 47.6 yards per game and 8.1 yards per target in a chaotic, subpar offense.

Sits out another practice
Goedert (calf) was listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: Goedert has been idle for both of the Eagles' first two Week 17 practices while managing the calf issue. Head coach Doug Pederson hasn't clarified whether Goedert is at risk of missing Sunday's game against the Washington, but with the Eagles having been eliminated from playoff contention, the team could err on the side of caution and hold the tight end out for the season finale if there's truly any concern about his calf.

Skips practice Wednesday
Goedert (calf) didn't practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Goedert left Sunday's loss at Dallas due to the injury, which is now keeping him off the practice field. He'll have two additional chances this week to fit in some reps, but if he ends up limited or sitting out this weekend against Washington, Zach Ertz may handle the majority of tight-end reps with Richard Rodgers (ankle) still unable to practice.

Banged up Sunday
Goedert has been forced out of Sunday's game against the Cowboys due to a calf injury.
Analysis: Goedert left the field early in the fourth quarter, and the Eagles are officially listing him as questionable to return. Zach Ertz will operate as Philadelphia's clear top tight end in the meantime, while Caleb Wilson operates in a No. 2 role.

Four grabs in loss
Goedert caught four of his eight targets for 39 yards in Sunday's 33-26 loss to Arizona.
Analysis: Goedert's day was almost much better, as he was twice targeted in the end zone on the Eagles' penultimate drive, but he couldn't reel in either chance. The 25-year-old led the team in targets for a second-straight week, but this time Jalen Reagor saw eight as well. The third-year vet also saw more snaps than any offensive skill player and 11 more than Zach Ertz.

Leads team in targets
Goedert caught four of his six targets for 43 yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Saints.
Analysis: Goedert saw more targets than any other Eagle and tied for the club lead in catches. He also came just three yards shy of the top mark in receiving yards, perhaps highlighting the shortcomings of Eagles pass catchers with Jalen Hurts under center. Goedert also has at least four catches and six targets in five straight contests and was on the field for 59 snaps, nine more than Zach Ertz.

Another solid performance
Goedert caught five of seven targets for 66 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Packers.
Analysis: The tight end once again led the Eagles in receiving despite the return of Zach Ertz to the lineup and a mid-game switch at quarterback to Jalen Hurts. The uncertainty at QB makes it tough to trust any member of the Philly offense right now, especially headed into a Week 14 clash with the Saints, but Goedert has seen at least six targets in four straight games, posting a 21-251-2 line during that stretch.

Leads team in receiving
Goedert caught seven of 10 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 23-17 loss to the Seahawks.
Analysis: Goedert was quarterback Carson Wentz's favorite target, as he led the Eagles in all major receiving categories. Along with a 27-yard reception, the tight end's night was highlighted by his three-yard touchdown just before halftime. That play gave Goedert a score in consecutive games, and he has topped 70 yards both of the last two weeks as well.

Scores in loss to Browns
Goedert caught five of six targets for 77 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 22-17 loss to the Browns.
Analysis: Goedert led the team in catches and receiving yards while finishing second in targets. He produced his best yardage output since the season opener and topped off his performance with a four-yard touchdown grab in the final moments of the game. After struggling to assimilate back into the offense after his absence, Goedert now has nine receptions over his last two games and will look to continue his emergence as his team tries to keep pace with the Seahawks next Monday night.

Garners six targets in loss
Goedert caught four of his six targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 27-17 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: Goedert was on the field for all but five of the Eagles' 67 plays on offense and got more attention in his second game back from injury. Carson Wentz continued to divide targets up evenly, sending at least five to six different receivers. The impending return of Zach Ertz could muddle things even more for Goedert's outlook going forward.

Draws one target in return
Goedert (lower leg/ankle) caught his lone target for a 15-yard gain Sunday in the Eagles' 23-9 win over the Cowboys.
Analysis: Playing for the first time since suffering a high-ankle sprain and fractured tibia in a Sept. 27 win over the Bengals, Goedert was thrust into a sizable role in his return to the lineup. Goedert played 53 of the Eagles' 63 offensive snaps in the victory, but Carson Wentz didn't pepper him with targets, with the quarterback instead spreading the ball around between seven different pass catchers. With a Week 9 bye on tap, Goedert's involvement in the passing game should increase in the back half…read more

Goedert (lower leg/ankle) was activated off injured reserve Saturday and will play in Sunday's contest against the Cowboys.
Analysis: It remains to be seen how much Goedert will actually play, but this is nevertheless fantastic news for fantasy managers considering most experts assumed the tight end would be out through the team's Week 9 bye.

Mike Garafolo of NFL Network previously reported that Goedert isn't expected to suit up until after the Eagles' Week 9 bye, so this week's practices may just be a means for Philadelphia to see where the tight end stands on the health front as he recovers from a fractured left ankle.

Unless Goedert is cleared to return to practice in the days following Thursday's home game versus the Giants, he likely won't warrant any serious consideration to play in the Eagles' Week 8 matchup with the Cowboys before the team heads into its bye Week 9.

Coach Doug Pederson said Wednesday that Goedert is progressing well in his recovery from a dislocated left ankle, Mike Kaye of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
Analysis: The Eagles haven't yet cleared Goedert to resume practicing, so it's probably safe to rule him out for Thursday's game against the Giants. In addition to Goedert, the Eagles will be missing top tight end Zach Ertz (ankle), leaving third-string option Richard Rodgers as the new top option at the position. The Eagles will likely re-evaluate Goedert again next week before determining if he's fit to resume practicing.

Won't need surgery for ankle
Goedert is expected to miss at least a couple of weeks after being diagnosed Tuesday with a small fracture in his left ankle, but the tight end won't require surgery to address the injury, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Surgery may have put Goedert at risk of missing the rest of the season, but the 25-year-old looks like he may only be in store for a short-term trip to injured reserve, which would entail an absence of at least three games. The Eagles may even hold out hope that Goedert can beat that timeline and return to action Week 6 versus Baltimore, but for the time being, he can probably safely be ruled out for Sunday's game at San Francisco along with the Eagles' Oct. 11 game at Pittsburgh.

Analysis: Goedert was forced out of Sunday's 23-23 tie to the Bengals due to an ankle injury in the first quarter. The third-year pro appears to be on track to sit out Week 4's matchup against the 49ers and possibly to miss action beyond that.

Analysis: Goedert didn't play beyond the first quarter, finishing with one seven-yard catch. The Eagles will order up a battery of tests, including an MRI, to get to the bottom of the matter, but it appears there's some doubt about his upcoming availability.

It's unclear if he'll be able to return, but in Goedert's absence Zach Ertz should have plenty of opportunity to produce with just Richard Rodgers to worry about in his position group.

Sees eight targets again
Goedert caught four of his eight targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Rams.
Analysis: Goedert has now seen one more target than Zach Ertz in each of the season's first two games and is outpacing him 131-60 in terms of yards. While neither did much in this contest, it seems the Eagles have two legit tight-end options heading into a Week 3 matchup with Cincinnati, and Goedert merits consideration as a low-end TE1 with that target share.

Top tight end Zach Ertz (upper body) also retook the practice field Sunday, putting Goedert back in position to handle his usual amount of daily reps.

Analysis: Goedert unsurprisingly served as the leader of the pass-catching corps in receptions, receiving yards and targets, even with Zach Ertz (ribs/kidney) active for the contest. Goedert made an exponential leap in his second pro season, finishing with a 58-607-5 line across 15 games during the regular season in addition to Sunday's production.

Tallies 65 yards in Week 17 win
Goedert caught four of 10 targets for 65 yards in Sunday's 34-17 win over the Giants.
Analysis: As expected with Zach Ertz (ribs) sidelined, Goedert was Carson Wentz's favorite option in the passing game, but the second-year tight end wasn't able to turn that volume into a particularly impressive performance. He's still seen double-digit targets in back-to-back games, and if Ertz remains out -- or even just less than 100 percent -- for next weekend's wild-card game against the Seahawks, Goedert figures to see a heavy workload once again.

Headed for busy afternoon
Goedert will operate as the Eagles' top tight end Sunday against the Giants with Zach Ertz (ribs) ruled out for the game, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Goedert has already been handling a three-down role, with injuries at receiver forcing the Eagles to rely on multi-tight end formations nearly every week. The second-year player is working on a six-game streak with six or more targets, culminating in a 9-91-1 receiving line in last week's 17-9 win over the Cowboys. Goedert is locked in as a central figure in the Eagles' passing game and could push for double-digit targets again with Ertz temporarily out of the picture.

Analysis: Zach Ertz missed most of the first half due to injured ribs, but the Eagles' passing game didn't miss a beat with Goedert taking his place as Carson Wentz's most trusted option. The second-year tight end is having a solid finish to the campaign, catching 33 of 45 targets for 321 yards and two TDs over the last six games, and he could see another elevated workload in Week 17 if Ertz is less than 100 percent.

Analysis: It was expected that Goedert would be one of the primary beneficiaries with Alshon Jeffery (ankle) and Nelson Agholor (knee) both out. The second-year tight end came in second on the team in targets and catches behind only Zach Ertz. While the 24-year-old set a season high in catches, it unfortunately didn't translate to many yards. Goedert will be a touchdown-dependent play Week 13 against Miami.

Analysis: Goedert was the team's second-leading receiver on the day, but unfortunately for him, it came behind a 100-yard bounce-back effort from Zach Ertz. The 24-year-old played all 70 snaps on offense, however, boding well for his continual viability as a fantasy starter in a barren tight-end landscape. With DeSean Jackson looking at an extended absence due to a recurrence of his abdominal injury, the Eagles likely will keep relying on two-tight-end sets after their Week 10 bye, so Goedert still…read more
