Fantasy Tiers

Dallas Goedert: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #5 at the position). Tucker Kraft: Tier 1 (Elite) TE (ranked #2 at the position). Among the top 30 tight ends this season, Dallas Goedert is producing at 47% of elite pace and Tucker Kraft at 57%. These two are close enough in the rankings that weekly matchup should dictate your start.

Dallas Goedert vs Tucker Kraft: Who Should You Start?

If you are choosing between Dallas Goedert and Tucker Kraft for your lineup, you are not alone. Dallas Goedert finished the 2025 season at 10.3 PPG for the Philadelphia Eagles (15 games), and Tucker Kraft averaged 12.6 for the Green Bay Packers (8 games).

That 2.3-point weekly advantage for Tucker Kraft 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 Tucker Kraft profiles as a more touchdown-dependent spike play (6 scores on 32 catches). In weeks where Tucker Kraft finds the end zone he out-scores Dallas Goedert, but the floor gap is real.

One scheduling note: Dallas Goedert is off Week 9 and Tucker Kraft Week 5. 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

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. Tucker Kraft (age 25) has years of prime production ahead. Buy-and-hold dynasty asset.
