Dallas Goedert vs De'Von Achane

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

De'Von Achane is the better fantasy play this season.

Cross-position decisions depend on league format. In half-PPR, De'Von Achane (18.1 PPG) is the higher-floor play. Dallas Goedert (10.3 PPG) could win a specific week on touchdown variance. For FLEX spots, lean toward the player with the softer defensive matchup that week rather than defaulting to season averages.

High confidence: stats strongly favor the leader, and the gap is unlikely to close on matchup alone.

Fantasy Tiers

Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). De'Von Achane: Tier 1 (Elite) RB (ranked #5 at the position). Comparing across positions, raw PPG is less useful than positional scarcity. A Tier 1 (Elite) TE is harder to replace on waivers than a Tier 1 (Elite) RB in most league formats.

Dallas Goedert vs De'Von Achane: Who Should You Start?

Comparing Dallas Goedert (TE, Philadelphia Eagles) against De'Von Achane (RB, Miami Dolphins) means weighing two different roles in your fantasy lineup. Dallas Goedert averaged 10.3 PPG in 2025 over 15 games, while De'Von Achane posted 18.1 PPG across 16 games.

Cross-position FLEX decisions cannot be made on PPG alone. Positional scarcity, matchup quality, floor versus ceiling, and league scoring format all shift the answer. A 14 PPG tight end in a thin TE week is often worth more than a 16 PPG receiver in a deep WR week, because the opportunity cost on the waiver wire is wildly different.

DraftCall's AI engine weighs all of these signals and returns a verdict with clear reasoning, so you are not cross-referencing four different rankings tabs on a Sunday morning.

Dallas Goedert has his bye in Week 9, De'Von Achane in Week 12. Plan your FLEX rotation around those weeks, especially if either player is anchoring your roster.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire De'Von Achane at a discount because your league-mates undervalue running back production, do it. Dallas Goedert is a reasonable sell-high candidate if his recent games have spiked above his season average. Dynasty outlook: Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. De'Von Achane (age 24) has not yet hit the RB cliff. High dynasty ceiling if volume holds.
