That ranking gap means Dallas Goedert carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Dallas Goedert vs Noah Gray: The Full Breakdown

Dallas Goedert and Noah Gray are both viable fantasy tight ends heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Dallas Goedert averaged 10.3 PPG across 15 games with the Philadelphia Eagles, while Noah Gray posted 4.6 PPG in 17 appearances for the Kansas City Chiefs.

A 5.7-PPG gap gives Dallas Goedert the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Dallas Goedert is the volume tight end in this matchup with 60 receptions for 591 yards, while Noah Gray profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (2 scores on 38 catches). In weeks where Noah Gray finds the end zone he out-scores Dallas Goedert, but the floor gap is real.

Dallas Goedert has his bye in Week 10, and Noah Gray rests in Week 6. 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.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Dallas Goedert at a discount because your league-mates undervalue tight end production, do it. Noah Gray is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Noah Gray (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
