PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Atlanta
Zach Ertz had his biggest game of 2016 with an 8-97-0 line last week against the Giants. The Eagles offense looked a lot different last week than we've seen the previous weeks, including attempting longer passes as well as getting Ertz involved.

Since returning from a displaced rib in Week 5, Ertz caught just nine balls between Weeks 5-8. While he's hard to trust after one big game, the Eagles could be making a point to get him more targets. It's a really nice matchup this week against the Falcons who are 27th in allowing fantasy points to TE, but Ertz is still down our list as more of a TE2 play and probably can't quite be trusted for typical leagues that play one TE.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 9, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at New York Giants
The disappearance of Zach Ertz continues to be one of the bigger mysteries this year for the Eagles. Ertz said he's just not being looked at by QB Carson Wentz, and Wentz only seems to trust Jordan Matthews and Darren Sproles in the passing game. As a result, Ertz had just four catches for 19 yards on four targets last week. He's 20th on our list this week and just isn't a safe option for lineups.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Dallas
Zach Ertz caught just one ball for 14 yards last week and hasn't been a factor since returning from a displaced rib. The last two weeks, Ertz has just two catches for 36 yards on six targets. Unfortunately, Ertz can't be trusted, even in a great matchup against the Cowboys, who are only 29th in allowing fantasy points to the TE. Ertz comes in way down our list as a result. Over the past two seasons against Dallas, Ertz is averaging just 2.75-23.25-0 in four total games.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Minnesota
Zach Ertz caught just one ball for 22 yards last week, and he also dropped a walk-in TD on a ball that went right through his hands.

Ertz is yet again off to a very slow start this year, though suffering a displaced rib could still be affecting him. We've seen slow starts before from Ertz (only to watch him go off later in the season), but owners by now are likely losing patience. This week, he's ranked just 18th on our list in a tough matchup against the Vikings, who are seventh in allowing fantasy points to the position. It's tough to trust Ertz right now, so owners may want to go with a higher-ranked option.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Washington
Zach Ertz had three catches for 37 yards last weeks against the Lions. It was his first game back after missing two with a displaced rib. He was targeted three times, but did play on 85% of the snaps so the Birds didn't seem to be easing him back.

Ertz gets a low-end TE1 rank this week coming in 11th on our list. It's an average matchup against the Redskins, who are 18th in allowing fantasy points to TEs. The Birds may opt to run the ball more this week which could cap the fantasy potential of the passing game. However, Ertz is still a solid enough option and the hope is he's more involved this week. Brent Celek didn't catch a ball and Trey Burton had just one catch so this seems to be Ertz's show.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 5, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at Detroit
Big things were expected by fantasy owners when came to Zach Ertz (especially after a big end to 2015). But after a 6-58-0 line in Week 1, Ertz suffered a displaced rib and missed Week 2 and 3 before a bye in Week 4 gave him some extra time off.

Signs point to the return of Ertz this week, and he will jump right into being a TE1 option. It's a real nice matchup, as the Lions are at the bottom of the league in terms of allowing points to TEs. Trey Burton and Brent Celek took turns being more involved in the offense over the last two week, but Ertz should step right back into that role.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 1, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Cleveland
Zach Ertz really came to life in the second half of last season. Over his last four games he caught 35 passes in total and averaged about 112 receiving yards in that span. As a result, there is a lot of optimism for Ertz coming into 2016.

Ertz gets a pretty fair matchup in Week 1 against the Browns who were 14th in allowing fantasy points to the position a year ago. With a new QB in Carson Wentz and a new head coach and a new system, it may be another slow start for Ertz. But without a lot of talent at the WR position, Ertz is going to be a very key target, and the Birds are expected to use a lot of multi-TE sets because they see that as a strength in their receiving group. Ertz is a lower-TE1 play this week coming in eighth so should be in lineups.
