Dallas Goedert vs Eli Raridon
Dallas Goedert holds a 26.1% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/18/2026
THE CASE FOR GOEDERT
Goedert is the rare TE who can still post difference-making weekly spikes when healthy, with proven NFL usage and efficiency in a strong offense. If your roster is built to win now, his immediate startability and bankable route role matter more than future uncertainty. The 24.6% market premium reflects that near-term points are likelier from Goedert than almost any young, unproven TE.
THE CASE FOR RARIDON
Raridon gives you age insulation and a longer window, which is usually the correct dynasty bet at a position where production can arrive late. If he earns a meaningful role in New England, his value can rise quickly because young TEs with any signal get priced aggressively. You’re buying optionality: a cheap-ish path to a multi-year starter instead of paying for an older TE’s shrinking runway.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Take Dallas Goedert if you’re a true contender and need startable TE points this season.
Take Eli Raridon in a rebuild because the age gap and potential value appreciation outweigh Goedert’s short-term scoring edge.
Not close in direction: it’s team-context dependent, but the extra 24.6% for Goedert only makes sense if you’re actively chasing a title.

Superflex?
In SF, keep TE spending tighter since QB/WR liquidity dominates—Goedert is still the contender play, but don’t overpay past that stated premium.
