Dallas Goedert vs Pat Freiermuth: Who Should You Start?

If you are choosing between Dallas Goedert and Pat Freiermuth for your lineup, you are not alone. Dallas Goedert finished the 2025 season at 10.3 PPG for the Philadelphia Eagles (15 games), and Pat Freiermuth averaged 6.2 for the Pittsburgh Steelers (15 games).

That 4.1-point weekly advantage for Dallas Goedert is meaningful but not automatic. Fantasy football is a week-to-week sport, and the answer to "who should I start" often changes based on opponent, recent form, and game environment. Season averages set the baseline; weekly context makes the call.

Dallas Goedert is the volume tight end in this matchup with 60 receptions for 591 yards, while Pat Freiermuth profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (4 scores on 41 catches). In weeks where Pat Freiermuth 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 Pat Freiermuth is off Week 5. 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

Dallas Goedert is a buy in trades where the other manager is chasing upside at a different position. Pat Freiermuth is a hold unless you can flip him for a positional upgrade elsewhere on your roster. Dynasty outlook: Dallas Goedert (age 31) is in the later years of production. Still a redraft asset, but dynasty value is declining. Pat Freiermuth (age 27) is in the middle of his productive window. Stable dynasty value.
