Griffin Wong has shared his insights on the top prop bets for tight end Dallas Goedert in the Philadelphia Eagles’ upcoming match against the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football. The game is set to kick off at 8:15 p.m. ET at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia, with the Eagles entering as 2.5-point favorites.
Despite the Eagles’ strong position in the playoff race, leading the Cowboys by two games, recent performances against the Dallas Cowboys and the Chicago Bears have exposed vulnerabilities in their offense. The current focus shifts to Goedert, who has faced a challenging season with reduced offensive involvement, overshadowed by fellow receivers DeVonta Smith and A.J. Brown.
Goedert’s season stats include a standout game against the New York Giants where he recorded nine catches for 110 yards; however, he has struggled to exceed 44 receiving yards in other games. Notably, he has only managed two catches in each of his last three outings, and his performance at home has been particularly disappointing, averaging just 29.2 yards and three catches per game.
The Chargers have demonstrated effective defensive strategies against tight ends, allowing the second-fewest receptions and third-fewest yards to the position. With standout players like Derwin James Jr. and Tahreeb Still in their lineup, it’s likely that Goedert will have limited opportunities, particularly in the first quarter where he has only amassed 71 yards on 13 targets throughout the season.
However, there remains a glimmer of hope for Goedert in the red zone. He leads the Eagles with seven touchdown catches, despite not scoring since Week 8, and is considered a key target in scoring situations. The Chargers have allowed six touchdowns to tight ends this season, which positions Goedert potentially to capitalize if Philadelphia can advance into the red zone.
In conclusion, while Goedert has faced significant challenges this season, his talent makes him an important player to watch, especially if the Eagles can leverage his size advantage for red-zone opportunities in a critical matchup against the Chargers.
