The 5 Most Efficient Red-Zone Pass-Catchers in 2017
Who were the five most efficient pass-catchers inside the 20-yard line last season?

Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles

Target NEP per target: 0.88

Zach Ertz enjoyed a true breakout season with the Eagles, finishing with the fifth-highest Target NEP per target among tight ends seeing at least 50 targets (0.33). He also smashed his previous career numbers inside the red zone.

Between 2013 and 2016, Ertz had 16 red-zone receptions and 8 touchdowns. But this past year, he had 11 receptions for 8 touchdowns. Only two players scored more times in the red zone than him.

The only negative we can find here is that only 9 of his receptions were successful, putting him 15th in Reception Success Rate (81.82%).
