When the Eagles went into full-team drills in the red zone, Zach Ertz took over. He first caught a beautifully floated ball from Nick Foles with his left hand as he dove toward the ground. Malcolm Jenkins was so frustrated, he picked up the pylon and tossed it. (There probably would have been a sack on the play in a real game.)
Then, Ertz caught a ball in heavy traffic. No idea how it wasn’t picked or how Ertz kept his focus through the bodies. Then, with the twos, he caught another slant for a touchdown. Somehow, with his arms tied up, Ertz was able to use his fingertips to hold onto this one.
Three touchdowns in one red zone period. Ertz is a Pro Bowler and still getting better.

The Eagles look to be in a great spot with their TE situation as the rookie Goedert had a real nice preseason debut with a 4-66-1 line against the Steelers Thursday night. But based on this news post, you can't forget Ertz is a looking like a top fantasy TE this year.
