Dallas Goedert vs Oronde Gadsden II

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 3.2-PPG advantage is real (10.3 to 7.1), and Dallas Goedert's 11 touchdowns show scoring upside. Oronde Gadsden II is the buy-low candidate if recent production has dipped, because the talent gap is smaller than the numbers suggest.

Moderate confidence: stats favor the leader, but matchup variance could flip this weekly.

Fantasy Tiers

Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Oronde Gadsden II: Tier 3 (Flex/Starter) TE (ranked #23 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Dallas Goedert is producing at 47% of elite pace and Oronde Gadsden II at 32%. That ranking gap means Dallas Goedert carries more trade value and a higher draft cost in 2026.

Dallas Goedert vs Oronde Gadsden II: 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. Oronde Gadsden II (Los Angeles Chargers) came in at 7.1 PPG over 15 games. The gap is real but not insurmountable with the right matchup.

Dallas Goedert carries a 3.2-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.

Both see steady target volume for the tight end position. Dallas Goedert had 60 catches for 591 yards; Oronde Gadsden II posted 49 for 664. At a position where most starters barely clear 7 PPG, this class of tight end is where the fantasy advantage lives week to week.

One scheduling note: Dallas Goedert is off Week 9 and Oronde Gadsden II Week 12. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in tight end for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.

Trade Value + Dynasty Outlook

If you can acquire Dallas Goedert at a discount because your league-mates undervalue tight end production, do it. Oronde Gadsden II 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. Oronde Gadsden II (age 22) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
