PHI TE Zach Ertz - 2020 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Zach Ertz has been one of the best tight ends in the NFL over the past several seasons. That should be the case in 2020. Ertz is the Eagles No. 1 target in the passing game. He had 135 targets with 88 receptions for 916 yards and six touchdowns. He averaged 14 fantasy points per game last season which made it three straight seasons. His quarterback stayed healthy in 2019 which obviously helps any receiver. The Eagles focus their offense around their talented tight ends which is another reason Ertz has so much value.

Fantasy Downside
Ertz will be 30 this season although there are no signs he will slow down at this point in his career. And although there is little doubt he is the top tight end on Philly, Dallas Goedert's presence will take targets away from Ertz is certain games. Even though his 2019 numbers were good, he fell back from his record-setting 2018 season.

2020 Bottom Line
Ertz is a top-five fantasy tight end again in all formats. Expect around 82 catches for 870 yards which means he will be slightly down from last season. We don't expect as many targets in 2020, but Ertz will still be Carson's Wentz's No. 1 passing game option. He has an ADP of 39 which is right where he should be taken. He isn't at the same level as Travis Kelce or George Kittle, but just a tier below.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at New York Giants
Zach Ertz is banged up and has been missing practice but will probably play on Sunday as the playoffs are on the line. Last week, Ertz was limited and had four receptions for only 28 yards.

The matchup is very good as the Giants are 28th in aFPA to tight ends. Ertz had nine receptions for 91 yards in the meeting with New York three weeks ago and also scored two touchdowns. Start Ertz as a solid TE1 for Week 17 and expect the Eagles to hold nothing back on offense on Sunday.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs Dallas
Another solid outing for Zach Ertz with five receptions for 61 yards. Ertz continues to be solid the second half of the season as he added his sixth touchdown reception of the season and this third in the last two games.

Ertz has a great matchup Sunday against the Cowboys who are 23rd in aFPA to tight ends. However, in the first meeting with Dallas earlier this season, Ertz was held to two catches.

We like the way Ertz has been playing and the favorable matchup. Start Ertz as a top 5 fantasy tight end for Week 16 in all leagues and formats

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs Washington
With the receiving corps decimated by injuries, the tight ends have taken over the Eagles passing game. This is not a surprise as Zach Ertz had a record-breaking season in 2018 and has been putting up those again in recent weeks. Last game, he had nine catches for 91 yards and two touchdowns.

Ertz will face Washington who is 29th in aFPA to tight ends. It should be another big day for Ertz with the matchup and the Eagles situation.

Start Ertz as a top fantasy tight end for Week 15 and he should be strong in all formats especially PPR.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs New York Giants
Zach Ertz has been red-hot in recent weeks, but cooled off last week being held to three receptions for 24 yards. Ertz had been putting up 2018-like numbers and you hope that last week was just a hiccup.

Ertz will face the Giants next who are sixth in aFPA to tight ends. Last year, he had 14 receptions for 134 yards and two touchdowns in the two meetings with New York. We lean towards him putting up good numbers against despite the tough matchup.

Start Ertz in all leagues and formats as a top 5 fantasy tight end for Week 14.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 at Miami
Zach Ertz has been the best tight end in the NFL over the last three weeks. He has averaged 10 receptions and 96 receiving yards. He also has two touchdowns over that span after only scoring once in the first eight weeks.

Ertz will face the Dolphins who are ranked 15th in aFPA to tight ends. Ertz is banged up and questionable for the game so keep an eye on inactives. If he does play, expect him to keep putting up similar numbers that he has in recent weeks,

Start Ertz in all leagues and formats if he is active.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Seattle
Zach Ertz seems to be breaking out of his slump with huge numbers the last two weeks. He has been targeted 22 times and has 18 receptions for 197 yards over that span. Those are the numbers we saw from Ertz last season, but not in 2019. With the all the injuries with skill players, the Eagles haven't had a choice.

Ertz will face the Seahawks who are 24th in aFPA to tight ends. We expect another big game for Ertz because of the matchup and the way the Eagles have game-planned in recent weeks. Start Ertz in all leagues and formats as a top 5 fantasy tight end for Week 12.
