Dallas Goedert enters the 2026 regular season coming off a career-high 11 receiving touchdowns in 15 games during 2025, a figure analysts widely view as unsustainable regression territory given his prior average of roughly three per year. The 31-year-old tight end re-signed on a one-year deal and could see an uptick in targets following A.J. Brown's offseason trade, with new coordinator Sean Mannion emphasizing tight end usage in the red zone and play-action within Philadelphia's offense led by Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley. Competition from DeVonta Smith, rookie Makai Lemon, and second-round tight end Eli Stowers, combined with Goedert's history of missing multiple games annually, tempers expectations for another double-digit scoring campaign despite his established role as a red-zone threat.
