Zach Ertz Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz made only one catch in a Week 2 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, gaining just six yards. Ertz was targeted twice in a game where Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts completed only 12 passes. It was a poor performance by the entire Philly offense and especially by the passing game. They'll hope for better results on Monday Night Football in Week 3 against the Dallas Cowboys. Ertz is clearly operating as the TE2 on a team that should see most of its success on the ground. It's tough to have Ertz on a fantasy roster at this point.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) took part in a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final injury report for Week 2 against the San Francisco 49ers. Ertz didn't practice on Wednesday and was then limited on Thursday. The 30-year-old will be available to work in tandem once again with Dallas Goedert. In the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons, Goedert was the clear top option with a 73.2 percent target share and a touchdown, while Ertz played 57.7 percent of the snaps and was targeted just two times (two catches for 34 yards). Ertz could have a big game here or there, but they will be entirely unpredictable. As long as Goedert is the top pass-catching tight end, Ertz will have low-end TE2 value on a weekly basis.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) returned to a limited practice session on Thursday after he did not practice on Wednesday. Ertz was injured in the Week 1 win over the Atlanta Falcons and was mainly given a rest on Wednesday as a precaution, so he should be available to play in the Week 2 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Dallas Goedert played 73.2 percent of the offensive snaps compared to Ertz's 57.7 in Week 1, and Goedert also out-targeted Ertz five to two and found the end zone. There could be some weeks where Ertz out-produces Goedert, but those weeks will be unpredictable, and it's clear that Goedert is the better fantasy option as a low-end TE1. Ertz is a low-end TE2 until further notice.
