Dallas Goedert vs Jake Tonges

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Dallas Goedert is the better fantasy play this season.

Dallas Goedert has the edge, but it is not a runaway. The 1.8-PPG advantage is real (10.3 to 8.5), and Dallas Goedert's 11 touchdowns show scoring upside. Jake Tonges 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

Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Jake Tonges: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #15 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Dallas Goedert is producing at 47% of elite pace and Jake Tonges at 39%. That ranking gap means Dallas Goedert carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Dallas Goedert vs Jake Tonges: Who Should You Start?

Two tight ends who will land on plenty of the same rosters in 2026. Dallas Goedert (Philadelphia Eagles) finished the 2025 season averaging 10.3 fantasy points per game in 15 games. Jake Tonges (San Francisco 49ers) came in at 8.5 PPG over 9 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Dallas Goedert carries a 1.8-point PPG advantage from the 2025 season. That baseline matters, but it is one input among several. Matchup difficulty, scoring trends, and injury reports move the needle week to week, which is why the best answer changes depending on when you are asking.

Dallas Goedert is the volume tight end in this matchup with 60 receptions for 591 yards, while Jake Tonges profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (5 scores on 34 catches). In weeks where Jake Tonges finds the end zone he out-scores Dallas Goedert, but the floor gap is real.

Bye weeks matter for roster construction: Dallas Goedert sits Week 9 while Jake Tonges is off Week 14. 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: Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Jake Tonges (age 26) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
