9. Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles

Zach Ertz comes in as numberFire’s ninth best tight end, per Reception NEP. Ertz’s 58.55 score is actually a bit worse than the 63.72 NEP he posted last season.

Overall, Ertz finished with 75 receptions for 853 yards and 2 touchdowns in his third season.

If we delve deeper into the Reception NEP, we can look specifically at red zone production for tight ends.

Of the 10 tight ends we have ranked here, Ertz was the least targeted in the red zone, drawing only eight looks from Eagles quarterbacks. He turned those targets into 3 catches for 10 yards and one score. His 0.81 Reception NEP in the red zone ranked last among our 10 best tight ends in 2015.
