Draft note

by John Paulsen

Errz finished with an eye-popping 116 receptions for 1163 yards and eight scores in his sixth season. The only reason for concern is the number of mouths to feed in Philly. His targets dropped from 11.0 per game without Alshon Jeffery to 9.5 per game in the 13 games that Jeffery played, and now DeSean Jackson joins the fray. The Eagles would also like to get Dallas Goedert more involved. I consider Ertz to be the No. 3 TE this year.

Eagles Beat: TE Zach Ertz's targets could go down

NJ.com

Aug 13 · 2:22 PM EDT

Zach Ertz's targets will likely go down in an offense with Alshon Jeffery, DeSean Jackson, Nelson Agholor, Dallas Goedert and Darren Sproles, but he’ll likely still lead the team in targets/receptions, and maybe even touchdowns, too.

Fantasy Impact:

Ertz has looked great in camp and has especially been tough to stop in the red zone, according to reports. He's ranked third among our TEs heading into drafts despite the loaded Eagles offense. Ertz has always been a favorite target for QB Carson Wentz

PHI TE Zach Ertz - 2019 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
Zach Ertz was targeted a record 156 times last season, the most ever to a tight end. It produced 116 receptions for 1,163 yards and eight touchdowns. Those numbers clearly put him in the top five of fantasy tight ends and arguably the best overall option in 2019. The Eagles offense will be very good and QB Carson Wentz will continue to view Ertz as the No. 1 target.

Fantasy Downside
It’s hard to imagine Ertz reaching the target and reception numbers again. The Eagles have too many offensive weapons including the addition of WR Desean Jackson. Ertz will probably have to settle for fewer looks.

2019 Bottom Line
Ertz will have a strong 2019 season and ranks as the No. 3 fantasy tight end overall. He doesn’t put up the yardage that Travis Kelce and George Kittle do, but he is the best option in a PPR format. Ertz will probably be around the 100-reception mark with similar yardage and touchdowns to 2018. His ADP of 22 might be a little high in standard leagues, but if you take him there, you will still get value.
