BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~75 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~83
ANALYSIS: Goedert is being drafted as the TE8 in drafts, but I think he has the potential to crack the top 3 and carries just as much upside as Kyle Pitts who is being taken around 50 picks earlier.
The Philly pass-catcher is poised for a huge year in his first full season free of Zach Ertz. But can Goedert join the likes of Travis Kelce and Mark Andrews in the top-tier of fantasy football production at the position?
Well in those ten games that Goedert played after Ertz was sent to Arizona, he averaged four catches on six targets for 60 yards per game. Those numbers aren't eye-popping, and he only managed four touchdown receptions total on the season, but the way in which he was used in this offense should excite fantasy managers.
He finished with an average of 14.8 yards per reception, which was second-best at the TE position just behind Kyle Pitts. And his average yards per target (10.9) was the best of any TE and fifth-best of any pass-catcher in the NFL.
His athleticism at the position, whether it's his ability to stretch the field down the seam or line up outside and win battles against undersized cornerbacks, is something Philadelphia has to take advantage of in this passing game.
I'm not worried about the arrival of A.J. Brown or the emergence of DeVonta Smith as far as competition for targets. If anything, I think the presence of an elite downfield threat like Brown is only going to open things up even more for Goedert and Smith.
If Goedert's red-zone target share grows (only 11% last season) and he catches 7-8 TDs this year instead of just four, we are talking about a huge year for him and fantasy managers who drafted him in the 7th-8th round.
