Zach Ertz Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (ribs, kidney) played through his injuries to make two catches for 44 yards on Wild Card Weekend. Ertz was visibly limited in this one, but he did well on his two catches. Ertz should be fully healthy by Week 1 of next season, and even with the ascending Dallas Goedert on the team, Ertz should still be an elite TE1 in all formats.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (ribs, kidney) is officially active for Sunday's Wild Card game against the Seattle Seahawks. Ertz is dealing with a fractured rib and a lacerated kidney, but he'll be in there for Carson Wentz's first playoff game. Despite being at home, the Eagles come into the game as underdogs and will likely have to rely on Dallas Goedert and the running game if they want a chance to survive into the Divisional Round of the playoffs. Ertz has upside in DFS lineups, but has a very risky floor.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (back, ribs) has been cleared to play in the wild-card game on Sunday against the Seahawks, according to a league source. Ertz is the team leader in both catches (88) and receiving yards (916), so having him on the field for the first playoff game is huge, even if he's not exactly 100 percent healthy. But at the highest price at his position in DFS on most sites, Ertz is an extremely risky fantasy pick against Seattle. There's a bigger chance that he'll suffer an in-game setback or serve as a decoy. Dallas Goedert should still see more snaps and targets and is the better fantasy option.
