Eagles TE Zach Ertz finally targeted

Nov 07, 2016

Week after week, Eagles QB Carson Wentz went into games focused on getting TE Zach Ertz the ball, and week after week, they failed to connect.

That finally ended Sunday, when Ertz had eight catches for 97 yards, the fifth-biggest game of his four-year career, in the Eagles’ 28-23 loss to the Giants at MetLife Stadium.

“Overall, it doesn't really matter how many times I touch the ball,” he said. “If we lose it’s all for nothing.

“I did think Carson (Wentz) and I took a step forward between the two of us. Which is good to see.”

Fantasy Impact:

Ertz had been a non-factor up to this week. He's still not trustworthy until we see more consistency, but for those struggling at the position Ertz may be worth a grab. The Eagles sure seemed to make it a point to target the TE in Week 9 but we have to see if that continues.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
