Matt Mueller 147 Posted Monday at 02:08 PM TE 22?? Hes ranked behind Elijah Arroyo and Chizo Okinkwo I know he’ll miss a couple games and they will run the ball but he finished as TE 10 in PPG in 2024 Laporta 10.9 PPG Goedert 10.4 Very concentrated target tree in Philly. Any injury to Barkley, Brown or Smith will raise his weekly floor. Color me confused on this one Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBayXXXVII 2,577 Posted Monday at 02:49 PM Here's my guess, and @nobody may concur... availability is a players best ability. You can almost assure yourself that Goedert will miss 4 games. Since his rookie season, he's missed 1 every year. Over the last 5 seasons, he's missed 22 games, averaging 4 per year (averaging 5 games missed over the last 3), players don't get healthier as they get older. If people are using cheatsheets/rankings, where assumed games missed is being taken into account, they'll find Goedert way down in their rankings. If you're ok with your TE missing a quarter to one-third of the season, then take him at the discount and be happy. There's also recent history. The Eagles threw the ball less than 450 times last year. Yeah, Kellen Moore is gone, but the passing game coordinator got promoted. My guess is that people are anticipating more of the same as last year, being a more run-oriented offense. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 147 Posted Monday at 02:59 PM Elijah Arroyo nearly missed 2 entire college seasons and then went to the senior bowl and got hurt running around in shorts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBayXXXVII 2,577 Posted Monday at 03:52 PM That tells me "Late round flyer". Goedert has a ceiling... his floor is pretty low because you don't know how many games he'll miss. I'm thinking both are viewed as backups, so a person is saying, "Would I rather have an aging guy who's on a low volume team with a limited upside or a young guy who may be worse... but could be a lottery ticket". More times than not, they're taking the lottery ticket over the aging veteran with limited upside. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,718 Posted Monday at 05:59 PM No way in hell Okonkwo finishes ahead of Goedert. He can't catch. Goedert is boring. That's why he's ranked low. Boring players are one of the last great exploitable market inefficiencies in fantasy. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nobody 2,718 Posted Monday at 06:39 PM Jesus Christ the Internet is so trifling. Ok. No way chig outscores goedert unless goedert misses another like 7 games or whatever he missed last year. Everyone happy now? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 147 Posted Monday at 10:16 PM Once again TE PPG TE 9. Goedert 10.4 TE 27 Chug 7.1 I’ve yet to play in fantasy league that doesn’t score weekly in redraft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 3,223 Posted Monday at 10:46 PM If you score weekly, Weeks 1-14, both teams had a bye week, so in those 13 games Chin outscored Goedert 7-6 hth. Because Chin was on the field, so weekly the chin owner would have a slight edge. Thanks Now based on Avg, I rank by avg, Goedert is the better pick. Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 147 Posted Monday at 11:31 PM Chug played in all games 1-14 Goedert injured his hamstring first offensive series week 5 and was ruled out 7/8/9 I have quickly remembered why I don’t post much anymore Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 147 Posted Monday at 11:33 PM Prior to the injury, Goedert had been on pace for a career-best season, with 24 catches for 301 yards through the first four games. Play him in his healthy games. You don’t take a zero in redraft. You put in another TE and get those points too Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 3,223 Posted Tuesday at 04:14 AM Redraft , one should never roster more than one te. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maximum Overkill 2,106 Posted Tuesday at 06:11 AM I like Goedertt a lot this season. He's on a 1 year incentive laced deal with no competition behind him. They even just traded away Bryant, they're supposedly TE2 At the cost, I'm in 100% Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 3,223 Posted Tuesday at 06:52 AM I’m hoping that his adp stays current, so I can get him in the double digit rounds, great value. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It may move a little but not much I believe. He's always undervalued for some reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 147 Posted Tuesday at 01:21 PM As an aside if you look at TE stats weeks 1-4 Goedert #1 in total TE points and #2 in PPG *Kittle had early bye **Bowers was just getting going But them them the facts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Football Guru 224 Posted Tuesday at 09:35 PM The reason Goedert was so low initially is that my formula heavily penalizes missed games. Goedert typically misses a few. Nevertheless, I changed his missed games projection from four to two, which should now have him around TE14 or TE15 on most of my boards. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Matt Mueller 147 Posted yesterday at 01:43 AM Respect GURU. Love the work you do. Hope you understand I’m more so sticking up for my guy Goedert than anything else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Football Guru 224 Posted yesterday at 04:02 AM Of course, Matt. Thank you for your kind words. As much time as I spend on these boards, I don't get a chance to really ponder it until the Version 2 round comes out. I still think Goedert will miss a chunk of time this year, but it should not keep him from being a low-end TE1 when he is on the field. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike FF Today 732 Posted yesterday at 01:50 PM Goedert: TE15, 99th overall in Doug's latest PPR BB. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TBayXXXVII 2,577 Posted yesterday at 02:58 PM If I knew Goedert would play 15 games, he's definitely a top 7 TE. Last year, Goedert was TE27, but TE10 in fpg. Kicker, 1 game he played 3 snaps (no targets). Take that 1 game away, he averaged 11.5 fpg, making him TE7. He was TE5 in 2022 and TE8 in 2021 (all those in fpg). He just gets hurt too often and misses too many games. According to ADP, he's TE14. I'd have no problem taking him there and someone else a bit earlier to make sure I'm covered.
