Why It Matters: Goedert emerged as a primary red-zone weapon during what was an otherwise tumultuous season for the team. That remain the case in this one, although Goedert did the bulk of his work for fantasy managers in this one by catching a 17-yard TD early in the second quarter and beating four defenders on a short pass over the middle and racing 43 yards to the end zone for a second score midway through the fourth. Managers should keep him locked into lineups in Week 2 against a Tennessee defense that looked overmatched in Week 1.
