Zach Ertz Fantasy

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz led the Eagles in receiving on Sunday, catching nine passes for 94 yards. Ertz was targeted 11 times and made some huge catches even in a game where the Eagles offense struggled as a whole. Ertz was able to get open against a tough New England Patriots Defense and became the go-to receiver for Carson Wentz as he has been in the past. It hasn't been the season Ertz or his fantasy owners have wanted, but his Week 11 usage was definitely encouraging going forward.

The Philadelphia Eagles are in discussions for a long-term contract extension with tight end Zach Ertz, offensive tackle Lane Johnson and safety Malcolm Jenkins, according to league sources. Ertz signed his last extension in January of 2015 and has become one of the best tight ends in the league since then. Johnson is considered by some as the best right tackle in all of football, while Jenkins has emerged as a leader for Philly's defense. Despite somewhat of a down year in 2019, Ertz leads the Eagles in receptions (46) and yards (527) while finding the end zone just two times. With Alshon Jeffery (ankle) out in Week 11 against the Patriots, Ertz could be set up for another big game.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz is just an okay option in Week 11. With the New England Patriots bringing their elite defense into the Eagles home on Sunday, the entire Eagles offense is expected to struggle. While the Eagles could have a hard time moving the ball against the New England defense, Ertz should be the focus of whatever passing game the Eagles are able to get going. His upside is limited, but his floor should still be about the same as usual. He will get a slight bump in value if Alshon Jeffery (ankle) is forced to miss the game.
