Eagles TE Zach Ertz said he feels better every day, but still not sure if he'll play week 1. Optimistic but expects it to be near game decision.
Ertz was the #13 TE in both standard and PPR formats despite only playing half of the Eagles’ snaps in his second year. Most (73%) of his snaps came on passing downs, so if his playing time is going to increase, a majority of the additional snaps are likely to come in run formations. Still, there’s upside with Ertz if he begins to see starter’s snaps. The Eagles lost their leading receiver -- first DeSean Jackson and then Jeremy Maclin -- in back-to-back seasons, so there will be opportunity from a targets standpoint. At this point, we wouldn't be surprised if he's held out Week 1, but it's a good sign that he's still optimistic about his potential availability.
