Fantasy Tiers

Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Tyler Conklin: Tier 5 (Deep League) TE (ranked #99 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Dallas Goedert is producing at 47% of elite pace and Tyler Conklin at 34%. That ranking gap means Dallas Goedert carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Dallas Goedert vs Tyler Conklin: The Full Breakdown

If you are choosing between Dallas Goedert and Tyler Conklin for your lineup, you are not alone. Dallas Goedert finished the 2025 season at 10.3 PPG for the Philadelphia Eagles (15 games), and Tyler Conklin averaged 7.5 for the New York Jets (17 games).

That 2.8-point weekly advantage for Dallas Goedert is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Dallas Goedert had 60 catches for 591 yards; Tyler Conklin posted 50 for 525. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

One scheduling note: Dallas Goedert is off Week 10 and Tyler Conklin Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

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. Tyler Conklin (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
