Fantasy football 2020, Week 2: Top 10 matchups to attack
Dallas Goedert, TE, Philadelphia Eagles
The Eagles did struggle late against Washington in Week 1. But that didn’t stop Dallas Goedert from having a huge day. The young tight end finished with eight receptions for 101 yards and a touchdown. Zach Ertz only had three receptions for 18 yards, but did still get a touchdown grab.
Carson Wentz loves to target his tight ends and Week 1 gave an indication that Goedert may be the new favorite. His nine targets led the entire offense on the day. The next closest player to his eight receptions was Greg Ward with five.
The Eagles and Ertz could not agree on a new contract and there is plenty of bad blood there. Goedert can just put his head down and work and should be the favorite target again this week against the Los Angels Rams.
Raheem Mostert, RB, San Francisco 49ers
Mostert has the looks of a great flex option in 2020. He rushed for 56 yards in a Week 1 loss to the Cardinals, but had a huge day as a receiver, finishing with 95 yards and a touchdown through the air.
The 49ers are already dealing with injuries and George Kittle could be questionable to play this week against the New York Jets.
That defense struggled against the Bills and Mostert should be able to take advantage of the mismatch and the extra targets if Kittle is not at full strength.
