Why It Matters: With both DeVonta Smith (hamstring) and Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) inactive, Goedert finished second on the club in targets, receptions, and yards to rookie Makai Lemon. The veteran tight end is a nice safety valve for Tanner McKee, though we'll see if that translates into red-zone usage the way it did with Jalen Hurts as the triggerman. Until we see more from McKee, it's best to view Goedert as a solid TE2 rather than the fringe TE1 he was when the offense was at full strength.
