Dallas Goedert missed Thursday’s practice for the Eagles due to a knee injury, according to RotoWire and Yahoo Sports. The Eagles have a Monday game in Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys.

What happened

Goedert (knee) was held out of Thursday’s practice, per RotoWire. Yahoo Sports reported that Goedert did not participate in practice Thursday, Oct. 22. The report noted Goedert recently returned from an injury and that his status for Week 7 is now uncertain because of a knee issue.

Context

Goedert has 47.0 PPR points this season with 25 targets, 17 receptions, 180 receiving yards, and two touchdown catches in four games. He has been on the field for 65% of Philadelphia’s offensive snaps. In his last game, he posted 12.1 PPR points with eight targets and six catches for 61 yards.

Timeline

On Oct. 9, Fantasy Football Desk reported that Goedert had practiced on a limited basis Wednesday and Thursday for the Eagles but did not have an injury designation for that Sunday’s game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Depth chart

Johnny Mundt is the Eagles’ TE2. He has 5.6 PPR points, six targets, four catches, and 16 receiving yards in six games. Zach Ertz has 5.2 PPR points, eight targets, three catches, and 22 receiving yards in three games. E.J. Jenkins was released by the Eagles on Thursday, according to ClutchPoints, after appearing in all six games this season without a reception.

What’s next

Philadelphia hosts the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, October 26 (US Eastern).

🏈 Fantasy impact

Goedert’s absence from Thursday’s practice puts his Monday availability in question, but with the game still days away, managers should wait for official word before making lineup decisions. If he cannot play, Johnny Mundt would likely start, but Mundt has produced only 5.6 PPR points all season, making him a desperation option. Zach Ertz has just 8 targets in 3 games and would also be a risky streamer. Goedert has been a top-tier fantasy tight end when healthy, averaging 11.8 PPR points per game, so monitor Friday’s practice report. For Week 7, unless Goedert returns to practice by Friday, consider adding a backup tight end from waivers or starting a reliable alternative.
