Zach Ertz

Ertz didn’t receive a five-year, $42 million contract extension this offseason for nothing.

Since being drafted out of Stanford in 2013, Ertz has become a major component of the Eagles’ offense. He has improved in every year of his NFL career and there is no reason to believe that will not continue in 2016.

Last year, Ertz recorded career-highs in receptions (75) and yards (853). Strangely enough, he recorded a career-low in touchdown receptions with only two. However, Ertz will be heavily utilized in Doug Pederson‘s new offense and that number is bound to rise significantly this season.

If he’s available in the middle rounds of you fantasy draft, scoop him up while he’s available.
