Dallas Goedert practiced on a limited basis Wednesday for the Eagles. Goedert was listed as limited with a knee injury but does not have an injury designation for Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

What happened

Goedert was limited at practice Wednesday, according to RotoWire. The Eagles officially listed him as limited. Despite being limited on both Wednesday and Thursday, Goedert does not carry a game designation for Week 5, according to RotoWire.

Context

Goedert has 25.1 PPR points on the season through four weeks, though he has played in only two games. In Week 1 he scored 23.7 PPR points on five targets, four receptions, 77 receiving yards, and two touchdown catches. In Week 2 he had 1.4 PPR points with one catch for four yards.

Goedert is the Eagles’ TE1 on the depth chart. Johnny Mundt is next in line at tight end, followed by E.J. Jenkins. Zach Ertz is also listed at tight end. Ertz has 5.2 PPR points this season, while Mundt has 4.2 PPR points in four games.

Timeline

On October 1, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Goedert had been ruled out for Week 3 against the Bears and was expected to miss multiple weeks with a knee injury. At that time, a Week 5 or Week 6 return was considered the most likely timeline.

RotoWire reported Thursday that Goedert was limited at practice, and Underdog NFL also noted he was limited again Thursday.

Depth chart

Johnny Mundt is the primary backup at tight end. Mundt has 4.2 PPR points and a Week 5 projection of 3.7 PPR points this week. Zach Ertz has 5.2 PPR points and a Week 5 projection of 5.6 PPR points.

What’s next

The Eagles play the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, October 11 in Week 5.

Dallas Goedert (knee) limited in practice again Thursday.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Goedert is back for Week 5 and should be started as a top tight end option against the Jaguars. He has a solid target share when healthy—eight targets in two games, including five in Week 1 alone. His Week 1 production of 23.7 PPR points showed his upside. With no injury designation, he is a locked-in starter. Zach Ertz and Johnny Mundt have minimal fantasy value even if Goedert were to see limited snaps, so there is no need to handcuff. Ertz has just 5.2 PPR points and Mundt 4.2 PPR points, making them desperation plays at best.
