How often does Zach Ertz run the route when on the field to make a pass?
This data will allow you to see how Zach Ertz and other solid ends are used for the Eagles. Some narrow ends can have a lot of cracks, but they are not so useful for fantastic purposes because they do not actually lead routes. This information will help you see when this is the case.

How do Zach Ertz’s measurable values compare to other narrow ends?
This section compares his draft training metrics with players in the same position. The line represents the percentile rank of the player. For example, if the bar is halfway, the player falls into the 50th percentile for that metric and that would be considered average.
If Ertz seems to be getting better every season, you’re not mistaken. His total number of fantasy points has been growing every year since entering the NFL, and a season is coming out in which he has set career highs in almost all counting and efficiency statistics. Imagine what Ertz could have achieved if Carson Wentz had lasted all season. Ertz’s statistics for last year’s show had unusual nuances. Although he had the lowest YPC in his career, he also had 13 catches in his career of more than 20 meters and the highest catch rate. The Eagles have increased Ertz’s use of the red zone, allowing him to align his position in the touchdown in his career. It was encouraging to see Ertz play his first full season of four as he struggled with a list of injuries throughout the year. It’s part of the concert in the narrow end, the position of the collision. Fantasy players have to come to terms with feelings towards a clear Big 3 in position – Ertz, Travis Kelce and George Kittle. Few will have Ertz on top; his athleticism and context in the team are not as sublime as Kelcein, while Kittle has an unusual speed for the position and the advantage is that he is a great new player of the group. But if you want to check out of Ertz already in the second or third round, we will tacitly approve. The position is particularly difficult this year, and even if Ertz returns to the 2017 level, you’re likely to recoup the selection costs.
Ertz’s catch and yard stats have been stable and similar for three consecutive seasons, but last year the Eagles unlocked Ertz for the first time near the goal line as he was one of five narrow ends with double-digit goals in the end zone (10). The timing makes sense, as Carson Wentz 2.0 has been a major upgrade since the rookie version. Wentz and Ertz also have a mental circuit that is unusual. Obviously these two spent a ton of time working together, developing the unspoken chemistry you see on Sunday. And if Nick Foles is required to play at all, Ertz doesn’t care. A reliable solid end posted a line of 18-192-1 in the playoffs, top production at just 22 targets, when Foles replaced the injured Wentz. At 6-5, 250, Ertz, who turns 28 in November, is a safe place to park money. Even in a Philadelphia team expanding it in terms of forcing the ball to their players, expect Ertz to keep most of last year’s touchdowns.
Ertz increased reception three years ago, but was never big in touchdown. Last year’s four rebounds were tied to a career high. The small number of points of contact was not a lack of attempts; he saw 17 targets from the red zone, but caught only six and turned three into points. He also had the lowest YPC of his career, and now there’s a little more competition for the ball as wide-receiver veterans Alshon Jeffery and Torrey Smith’s additions were offset by Jordan Matthews ’August trade on the bills. Returning the addition Darren Sproles is still struggling to fight Ertz for short goals, but the development of Carson Wentz could provide more general production. Ertz gets a tick for durability; in his four-year professional career, he missed just three games. And they have always seen him as an intuitive and intelligent player, ever since his days at Stanford. We are comfortable projecting Ertz for another 70 or more catches and a total of 800 yards, but if he were to become a big shooter, it would probably have already happened. There’s no shame in him being as good as Ertz arrives – he’s the type of player you can draft for with the good feeling he’s likely to come, and that’s an encouraging thing. Just don’t start dreaming about a new level to climb.
After sharing a close deal with Brent Celek for two years, the younger, more talented Ertz emerged last season as the best tight option in a passing game from Philadelphia, finishing sixth in the target. He was limited by a groin injury earlier in the year, but as he got healthier, his performance got better and better, and he ended up with two touchdowns and two 100-yard games (he missed by a hair for the third) in the last five weeks. Unfortunately, those were his only results and three-digit games of the season. He was often targeted downward, but his catch of over 20 (11), YPC and YPT was mediocre. However, Chip Kelly’s accelerated attack has disappeared, and in its place is coach Doug Pederson’s version of the West Coast attack. Pederson has overseen the Kansas City attack in the last three seasons, the last two of which have been brilliant for Travis Kelce. Except that in a way Kelce excelled despite a conservative Chiefs foul that limited his use on the field and in the red zone. Celek is still present, and will be used in two TE sets, but shouldn’t take too many goals from Ertz. How everything shakes and what that means for Ertz fantasy value remains to be seen. Kelce finished eighth in a fantastic goal last season; Ertz was tenth. So the growth room looks small.
There is no doubt that Ertz has a bigger advantage than 30-year-old Brent Celek, but Ertz still can’t get out on the field enough to be able to break out. Ertz played just half of the Eagles ’shootout last season (with 40.8 percent as a beginner), while the confident Celek, who is also valued for blocking, played 69.3 percent of the snaps. After splitting goals in 2013, Ertz had almost 40 more than Celek last season, but that was just enough to barely bring him into the top 15 fantastic finals, as he caught just three of 12 goals from the red zone for one result. At 6-5, 250, with a speed of 4.76, Ertz has the physical tools to be a playmaker, but he may not realize it until he perfects himself as a blocker to keep Celek aside. A blocking tight end could be even more needed this year, with the addition of a working horse running DeMarco Murray and a vulnerable striker Sam Bradford. And even with the departure of Jeremy Maclin, the goals probably won’t be more plentiful. Jordan Matthews will absorb a lot of Maclin’s 143 targets from last year, as well as rookie Nelson Agholor and hinterland Murray, Darren Sproles and Ryan Mathews.
Ertz, in the second round of elections last season, justified his collection, collecting slightly more goals than veteran Brent Celek (56-51). Ertz proved too fast for the defenders, and when the teams covered him with a defensive back, the physical receiver used his 6-5, 250, frame to outdo them for the ball. A good route runner with nice hands, Ertz was limited to 428 shots last year (Celek had 791), mostly because of his unrefined blocking. While he’s likely to improve on that skill, he was created to catch passes, and he should have even more chances this season. Even if Celek has another 50 goals, Ertz could base his goals on a large stake of 126 DeSean Jackson as much as he had last season. Jeremy Maclin is back after missing last season with a knee injury and the Eagles pulled out Jordan Matthews in the second round, but the team hopes Ertz will become the main receiver in the passing game. He will likely be split widely this season after being heavily used last year and playing in a slot tournament while coach Chip Kelly seeks to create inconsistencies in passing. Nick Foles’ improved quarterback play will also help.
The second-round pick in this year’s draft, Ertz is behind Brent Celek and probably James Casey as well. Not known for his blocking, Ertz has enough athleticism to be a threat. As with most beginner crowds, he has long tried to be more than an occasional collaborator in attack.
