Dallas Goedert vs Tyler Higbee: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Dallas Goedert and Tyler Higbee is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Philadelphia Eagles tight end put up 10.3 PPG in 2025 over 15 games; Tyler Higbee of the Los Angeles Rams averaged 5.9 in 10. A 4.4-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 4.4 points favors Dallas Goedert, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one tight end to the other.
Dallas Goedert is the volume tight end in this matchup with 60 receptions for 591 yards, while Tyler Higbee profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (3 scores on 25 catches). In weeks where Tyler Higbee finds the end zone he out-scores Dallas Goedert, but the floor gap is real.
One scheduling note: Dallas Goedert is off Week 5 and Tyler Higbee Week 6. 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.
