Philadelphia Eagles: 5 Fantasy options that could help win your league
3. Zach Ertz, tight end
Every year around this time, there are stories surrounding Ertz and whether or not he’ll have that breakout season. Here we are again, and we’re discussing Ertz and his potential. Again, he has a chance to prove he can be one of the best tight ends and someone who could make noise in fantasy football.
Ertz’s ADP is TE10, and on average, he’s been coming off of draft boards at the 109th selection. The Stanford product finished 6th in tight end rankings with an average of 183 points. That’s five less than Delanie Walker, and seven fewer than Jimmy Graham.
Keep this in mind. Ertz missed two games due to injury and still led the Eagles in receiving yards (816). With Jeffrey commanding attention and Smith’s speed forcing safeties to be honest, the seam could be a gold mine for the Wentz-to-Ertz connection.
