Colby Parkinson vs Dallas Goedert: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Colby Parkinson and Dallas Goedert is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The Los Angeles Rams tight end put up 7.7 PPG in 2025 over 14 games; Dallas Goedert of the Philadelphia Eagles averaged 10.3 in 15. A 2.6-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 2.6 points favors Dallas Goedert, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one tight end to the other.
Dallas Goedert is the volume tight end in this matchup with 60 receptions for 591 yards, while Colby Parkinson profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (8 scores on 43 catches). In weeks where Colby Parkinson finds the end zone he out-scores Dallas Goedert, but the floor gap is real.
Colby Parkinson has his bye in Week 8, and Dallas Goedert rests in Week 9. Managers rostering both need waiver wire depth at tight end for those two weeks, and that is exactly the kind of planning DraftCall's matchup engine surfaces automatically so you are not scrambling on a Sunday morning.
