Brock Bowers vs Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Brock Bowers is the better fantasy play this season.

Brock Bowers has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.7-PPG advantage is real (12.0 to 10.3), and Brock Bowers's 7 touchdowns show scoring upside. Dallas Goedert is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Low confidence: the production gap is narrow enough that weekly context matters more than the season line.

Fantasy Tiers

Brock Bowers: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #4 at the position). Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Brock Bowers is producing at 55% of elite pace and Dallas Goedert at 47%. These two are close enough in the rankings that weekly matchup should dictate your start.

Brock Bowers vs Dallas Goedert: Who Should You Start?

Brock Bowers and Dallas Goedert are both viable fantasy tight ends heading into 2026, but their 2025 production tells two different stories. Brock Bowers averaged 12.0 PPG across 12 games with the Las Vegas Raiders, while Dallas Goedert posted 10.3 PPG in 15 appearances for the Philadelphia Eagles.

A 1.7-PPG gap gives Brock Bowers the edge on paper, but paper does not account for Thursday night matchups, weather games, or a star defender returning from injury. The real question is not who was better in 2025, but who is the better start this specific week.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Brock Bowers had 64 catches for 680 yards; Dallas Goedert posted 60 for 591. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Brock Bowers sits Week 8 while Dallas Goedert is off Week 9. If you are deciding between the two as a season-long roster hold, the staggered byes actually work in your favor.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

Both are in a similar trade value range. A straight swap would be fair in most leagues, with the tiebreaker going to whichever manager values schedule or bye week more. Dynasty outlook: Brock Bowers (age 23) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset. Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining.
