Dallas Goedert vs Noah Fant

Fantasy Football Comparison for the 2026 NFL Season

The Bottom Line

Dallas Goedert is the better fantasy play this season.

Dallas Goedert is clearly the better fantasy option heading into 2026. With 10.3 PPG and 591 total yards in 2025, the production separation is too wide to overcome on matchup alone. Noah Fant (4.4 PPG) is a hold, not a sell, but roster Dallas Goedert as the starter and Noah Fant as depth.

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

That ranking gap means Dallas Goedert carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Dallas Goedert vs Noah Fant: 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. Noah Fant (Cincinnati Bengals) came in at 4.4 PPG over 13 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Dallas Goedert carries a 5.9-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 Noah Fant profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (3 scores on 34 catches). In weeks where Noah Fant 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 Noah Fant is off Week 10. 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

If you can acquire Dallas Goedert at a discount because your league-mates undervalue tight end production, do it. Noah Fant 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. Noah Fant (age 28) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
