Dallas Goedert's absence has left a gap in the Philadelphia Eagles offense. The veteran tight end has missed three consecutive games due to a hamstring injury. This situation is crucial for fantasy managers, as Goedert is integral to Philadelphia's offense.
The veteran's ability to perform at a high level has made him a trusted option for the Eagles. However, his current timeline for recovery remains uncertain. No definitive return date has been stated.
The South Dakota State product will almost certainly return as the starting tight end when he can play. However, the question of when he will be back remains fuzzy, which means fantasy managers will need to monitor his status closely.

Will Dallas Goedert Start for the Eagles When He Returns?
Goedert has been a key piece of Philadelphia's passing game and has shown himself to be a sturdy option in its offense. His absence has been notable. While players like Grant Calcaterra have filled in, they do not offer the same impact or chemistry with quarterback Jalen Hurts.
Greetings from Friday's #Eagles practice. I did not see DeVonta Smith during the brief portion open to media. No Darius Slay (groin) or Dallas Goedert (hamstring) still.

Despite being sidelined for multiple games, the tight end is a proven talent who will start when he is cleared to play.
The Eagles have been strategic in handling Goedert's injury, choosing not to place him on injured reserve. This suggests they are optimistic about a return soon. It is simply a matter of ensuring he is healthy before he returns to the field, where his role as a starter is unquestioned.
Dallas Goedert Fantasy Football Outlook
The 29-year-old's return is highly anticipated by fantasy managers, as his consistent production makes him one of the more valuable tight ends.
He has managed 27 catches for 285 yards this season and is a favored target when healthy. Managers should watch his practice status; any participation would signal he is nearing a comeback.

Fantasy managers should have alternative plans if he remains inactive, but once he is back, Goedert should be a strong TE1 option moving forward. Keep an eye on his recovery updates, as he has the potential to provide stable production in the latter part of the season. If he turns out to be more injured than we think, Calcaterra would make a nice replacement for your lineup.
