Dallas Goedert Injury Update
Goedert had a few solid fantasy performances in the first month of the year. But after missing three games because of a hamstring injury, he hasn’t done much since his return.
Unfortunately, Goedert is expected to miss more time after suffering a knee injury during the win over the Baltimore Ravens. There’s also a chance he ends up on injured reserve.

Either way, Grant Calcaterra is expected to re-enter the equation. He started when Goedert was on the shelf.
While Calcaterra hasn’t been productive nearly all season, he has a favorable matchup against the Panthers, with Carolina allowing more fantasy points to opposing tight ends than any other team in the league.
Taysom Hill, Foster Moreau, Juwan Johnson Injury Update
Hill suffered a torn ACL in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams, putting an abrupt end to his season. It’s a tough blow for New Orleans, considering he had six touchdowns in his eight appearances during the 2024-25 campaign.
Without question, Hill can’t be replaced, especially since he does so much on the offensive end. With that in mind, Moreau and Johnson could see more attention from Derek Carr.
Taysom Hill is the definition of a team player. Does everything for the Saints offense. Really sucks that this miserable year includes him suffering a season-ending injury.
Get well soon Taysom.

But the duo isn't a lock to suit up for the Week 14 matchup versus the New York Giants. If that’s the case, Dallin Holker is the only healthy tight end on the depth chart, although the rookie hasn't had a catch all year.
It’s also possible the Saints may bring someone in, depending on the health of Moreau and Johnson.
Dalton Kincaid Injury Update
Kincaid has missed the last two games because of a knee injury. Fortunately, he did practice in a limited capacity on Wednesday, so there is still hope regarding a potential return for Sunday’s game against the Rams.
Still, he has a long way to go before he’s cleared to return. If Kincaid misses another contest, Dawson Knox, who has been more involved in the last month, is worth considering in multi-tight-end fantasy formats.
