Dallas Goedert vs RJ HarveyWho should you start in 2026 fantasy football?

RJ Harvey is the better fantasy start for 2026, averaging 10.8 PPG to Dallas Goedert's 10.3 in 2025. Full head to head breakdown below.

The Bottom Line

RJ Harvey is the better fantasy play this season.

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, RJ Harvey (10.8 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). RJ Harvey: Tier 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) RB (ranked #27 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 4 (Bench/Bye Fill) RB in most league formats.

Dallas Goedert vs RJ Harvey: The Full Breakdown

Comparing Dallas Goedert (TE, Philadelphia Eagles) against RJ Harvey (RB, Denver Broncos) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Dallas Goedert averaged 10.3 PPG in 2025 over 15 games, while RJ Harvey posted 10.8 PPG across 17 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.

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. RJ Harvey (age 25) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
