Dallas Goedert vs Dalton Kincaid: Who Should You Start?
The gap between Dallas Goedert and Dalton Kincaid is smaller than most fantasy managers think. Separated by just 1.4 PPG in 2025, this is one of those tight end decisions that comes down to context, not name recognition. Dallas Goedert averaged 10.3 PPG with the Philadelphia Eagles across 15 games, and Dalton Kincaid posted 8.9 with the Buffalo Bills in 12.
When two tight ends are separated by less than two points per game, the decision shifts to weekly context. Who has the softer defense? Who is trending up over the last month? Which team is projected for more total points? Those are the tiebreakers that actually matter.
Dallas Goedert is the volume tight end in this matchup with 60 receptions for 591 yards, while Dalton Kincaid profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (5 scores on 39 catches). In weeks where Dalton Kincaid finds the end zone he out-scores Dallas Goedert, but the floor gap is real.
Dallas Goedert has his bye in Week 5, and Dalton Kincaid rests in Week 12. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
