Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz had a solid game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. He caught three passes for 77 yards and a touchdown, and was second on the team in yardage behind only wide receiver Jeremy Maclin. Ertz wound up playing in 52 of 87 offensive plays for the Eagles, which comes out to 60 percent.
Zach Ertz plays 60 percent of snaps Sunday and has solid fantasy outing
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz played in 60 percent of the team’s offensive snaps on Sunday, but he looked good. We break down the fantasy implications.

That actually seems like a pretty small amount for a guy like Ertz, but he started the game out from the slot and was moved around a lot like a wide receiver. He’s a matchup nightmare, especially for teams that already struggle with tight ends like the Jaguars. Whatever the case, he made the most of the five passes that went his way and likely earned himself more playing time going forward.
Fantasy Impact: It wasn’t a great game for the Eagles, but Ertz is already playing more than he did as a rookie and snagging 77 yards plus a touchdown with just five targets is a solid outing. Fantasy owners can expect Ertz to get more playing time in the team’s next game based on his solid play on Sunday. He’s a solid TE1 option at this point.
