Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. His injury reportedly isn’t serious, so we’ll see if he can make it back for Week 3. Goedert’s absence leaves Grant Calcaterra as Philadelphia’s likely lead TE, but he’d be a desperation fantasy play. WRs A.J Brown and DeVonta Smith both gain target upside with Goedert out. They've climbed the Week 2 WR rankings.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert has a knee sprain that has his status "up in the air" for Sunday's game vs. the Chiefs, according to beat writer Eliot Shorr-Parks. "Team will see how he progresses this week. It is not believed to be long-term injury that will keep him sidelined for long — if at all," Shorr-Parks adds.

The Eagles are placing TE Dallas Goedert on IR with his knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That knocks Goedert out through Week 17, so he can be dropped from all redraft rosters. "The plan is for him to be back at full speed heading into the playoffs," Rapoport adds.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert is considered "week to week" with the knee injury he suffered in Sunday's win over the Ravens, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer's Jeff McLane. "Goedert could be a candidate for short-term IR based on his recovery, but the injury isn’t season ending," McLane adds. There are only four weeks left in most fantasy seasons, so IR would end Goedert's campaign for fantasy purposes. You can wait to drop Goedert to see if he lands on IR, but he's also dumpable now if you need the roster spot. Goedert's absence will once again leave Grant Calcaterra as the Eagles' lead TE. In the three games Goedert missed earlier this season, Calcaterra registered 83%, 86%, and 91% route rates while totaling nine targets on a 15.3% share. He's a low-end spot start option with six teams on bye this week, but you should be able to do better than Calcaterra beyond that.
