Fantasy Upside
In his first season with Doug Pederson and Carson Wentz, Ertz went from 10th to fourth in TE fantasy points per game (PPR scoring). After the Eagles traded Jordan Matthews, Ertz is now the team's best returning pass-catcher.
Fantasy Downside
A staggering 45% of Ertz's fantasy points came in three games towards the end of last season. His consistency left a lot to be desired, hurting owners in more weeks than helping them.
2017 Bottom Line
Ertz is a prime example of why fantasy managers need to do more than just look at season-long projections. Ertz's boom-or-bust nature is best suited for best-ball leagues. However, his eighth-round redraft ADP comes with baked-in risk. Just make sure you take another TE later if you select the week-to-week headache that has been Ertz.
