Dallas Goedert vs Quentin JohnstonWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

Quentin Johnston is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 11.2 PPG to Dallas Goedert's 10.3 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

Quentin Johnston is the better fantasy play this season.

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, Quentin Johnston (11.2 PPG) is the higher-floor play. Dallas Goedert (10.3 PPG) could win a specific week on touchdown variance. For FLEX spots, lean toward the player with the softer defensive matchup that week rather than defaulting to season averages.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Fantasy Tiers

Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Quentin Johnston: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR (ranked #18 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 1 (Elite) TE is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) WR in most league formats.

Dallas Goedert vs Quentin Johnston: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Dallas Goedert (TE, Philadelphia Eagles) against Quentin Johnston (WR, Los Angeles Chargers) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Dallas Goedert averaged 10.3 PPG in 2025 over 15 games, while Quentin Johnston posted 11.2 PPG across 13 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.

Dallas Goedert has his bye in Week 10, Quentin Johnston in Week 7. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Quentin Johnston (age 24) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
