Christian McCaffrey vs Dallas Goedert: Who Should You Start?

Comparing Christian McCaffrey (RB, San Francisco 49ers) against Dallas Goedert (TE, Philadelphia Eagles) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Christian McCaffrey averaged 21.5 PPG in 2025 over 17 games, while Dallas Goedert posted 10.3 PPG across 15 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Christian McCaffrey has his bye in Week 9, Dallas Goedert in Week 5. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.
