Zach Ertz hasn't morphed into the fantasy tight end we all hoped he would last year and this year, but the buzz is quelled quite significantly -- for good reason.
Still, Ertz has seen 17 targets through three games, 12th-most at the position. Of course, 15 of them came in the first two games, as the Eagles had a low-volume passing day in Week 3.
Philadelphia owns a nice projected total of 25 points against Washington this week, and that's not a bad start when looking for a sneaky tight end play. It's hard to trust Ertz in re-draft leagues, but Washington has allowed steady production to tight ends this year so far: at least 6 catches or 70 yards in each game this year.
Ertz owns the eight-best shot at a touchdown this week, per our algorithms, and that alone can make a start worth it.
