Eagles TE Zach Ertz (concussion) unsure for Week 14

Dec 05, 2017

Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is in concussion protocol.

Ertz is sticking around with the team this week, according to head coach Doug Pederson, who didn’t feel the need to say a lot more on the subject.

The Eagles’ leading receiver banged his head off the ground trying to haul in a pass that went incomplete in the second quarter of the 24-10 loss Sunday night to the Seahawks. That triggered a trip to the medical tent.

Fantasy Impact:

Ertz didn't play in Week 9 against Denver. In that game, Celek put up a 3-39-0 line while Burton had a 2-41-1 line. Burton, at this point, is probably the more reliable offensive threat between the two.

“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

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.
