4. You won’t even realize Zach Ertz is gone.

Dallas Goedert had the best game of his career a week ago when the Philadelphia Eagles needed for him to have one. In Week 16 versus the Cowboys, he hauled in nine catches for 91 yards and a touchdown.

Zach Ertz had a ton of issues while playing with a rib and back injury, and Goedert was there to pick up the slack. Is it too much to ask that he do it again? It isn’t because he absolutely will.

Ertz, throughout his career, has been a ‘Giants Killer’. He’s earned his respect, but once this one kicks off, you won’t have to worry about missing him too much.

Goedert will improve on his nine-catch performance by racking up ten catches in Week 17. He’ll also go over 100 yards receiving. Rest up ’86’, but don’t worry. ’88’ has got your back in this one.
