Dallas Goedert
Philadelphia Eagles @
Las Vegas Raiders
It looks like Dallas Goedert will finally get his opportunity to be the true number one TE for the Eagles. On Friday the Eagles traded fellow TE Zach Ertz to the Cardinals which will open up opportunities for Goedert. Goedert has averaged more than 11 points per game when he has played without Zach Ertz. Goedert is on the reserve/Covid-19 list, so keep tabs on his status all week. The Raiders have allowed four touchdown receptions this season.The Raiders have given up an average of 67 receiving yards per game to opposing TEs this season. They have given up a top 10 TE finish in 3 of the 6 games that they have played this season. The Raiders have given up an average of 17.62 points per game to opposing TEs this season. They are the 27th ranked defense at defending the TE position.
