Fantasy Football Player Notes

Last year was the second time in Dallas Goedert's career that he finished as a top-six fantasy tight end (TE6 in fantasy points per game). Goedert accomplished this by spiking a career-high 11 receiving touchdowns. Last year, among 59 qualifying tight ends, Goedert ranked eighth in target share (18.4%), 33rd in yards per route run (1.43), 17th in receiving yards per game (39.4), eighth in first-read share (21%), seventh in red zone targets (15), and 21st in first downs per route run (0.083). Washington added a lot of firepower to their pass rush and secondary this offseason, but we'll see how much and how quickly they can improve a defense that allowed the most yards per target and fantasy points per opportunity to tight ends last year.
