Scouting report

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs New England
It's too bad the Eagles had the bye week because it might have stopped any momentum Zach Ertz had coming off a nine catch, 103-yard game that included a touchdown. It was Ertz's best game of the season and more reminiscent of his numbers weekly in the 2018 season.

Ertz will face the Patriots this week. New England is ranked sixth in aFPA to tight ends. Philly should target Ertz more and we expect them to find a way in Week 11. Start Ertz as a top 5 fantasy tight end. It's been a while since we have been able to say that.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 vs Chicago
Zach Ertz was a powerhouse last season but that really hasn't happened in 2019. He has only four catches over the past two games and the targets have been down too. The overall passing game for Philly has been off so Ertz has been a victim of that.

Ertz actually has a decent matchup against a good Bears defense that is only ranked 22nd in aFPA to tight ends. Look for the Eagles to get him involved early and often.

Start Ertz in all leagues and formats as a solid TE1. His owners hope he starts getting back his 2018 form and that could start this week.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Buffalo
The disappointing season for Zach Ertz continues. He was held to two receptions for 38 yards last Sunday night. It's not that he is playing bad or doesn't have fantasy value. It's just not the numbers we saw from him in 2018. Part of the issue is the Eagles passing game is struggling and Carson Wentz has not been good over the past four weeks.

Ertz will face the Bills who are seventh in aFPA to tight ends. We keep waiting for Ertz to explode, but it probably won't be this week. He has been a top-three tight end almost all of last season, but he only ranks a middle-of-the-pack TE1 for Week 8.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Dallas
Zach Ertz has 33 catches for 366 yards and one TD in 2019. The numbers are definitely down compared to his record-breaking year last season. We expected a dropoff, but the lack of touchdowns is what really is hurting owners.

Even with a favorable matchup against Dallas who is 28th in aFPA to tight ends, Ertz finds himself ranked an average TE1 for Week 7. We have been giving him the benefit of the doubt that he will have that breakout game, but the Eagles passing game has been limited at times and teams seem to have focused on taking him out of the game.

Start Ertz in all leagues and formats but expect what you have been getting in recent weeks.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Minnesota
We are still waiting for that crazy Zach Ertz game that we saw several times last season, but it really hasn't come yet. He did score his first touchdown of the season last Sunday, but the overall numbers including targets and catches are way down from last year.

The Vikings are up next and are ranked sixth in aFPA to tight ends. Despite the tough matchup, Ertz is still a top-five fantasy tight end this week because he still is the most targeted Eagles player. Start him in all leagues and formats.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs New York Jets
Zach Ertz is catching balls and being targeted, but he is not putting up high receiving yard numbers nor has he gotten in the end zone this season yet. In the last two seasons, he had eight touchdown catches each year. Ertz's targets are down from the record-breaking 2018 season, but we expected that.

Ertz has a tough matchup against the Jets who are 4th in aFPA to tight ends. That shouldn't scare you away as the Eagles have Ertz as a main part of every game plan.

Start Ertz Week 5 in all leagues and formats as a high-end TE1 against New York. Ertz will eventually find the end zone and we expect the catches and targets to be high this week.

PHI TE Zach Ertz - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 at Green Bay
We know Zach Ertz will be the most targeted player on the field on Thursday. Ertz's production has been average at best early in the season. He has 17 receptions for 190 yards, but is still looking for his first touchdown. It doesn't mean he isn't one of the best tight ends in the NFL. His numbers are just behind last year's.

It won't get much easier in Green Bay this week. The Packers are 10th in aFPA to tight ends. We expect the targets and expect similar production that Ertz had the first three games.

Start him in all leagues as a top-five fantasy tight end and hope he starts finding the end zone to help raise his value.
