Ertz's numbers would have been even more impressive if not for a few misfires from quarterback Sam Bradford. Ertz has seen a late-season surge as one of Bradford's favorite targets. He's averaging over 12 targets over the past three games. He'll look to pad his stats for the final game of the regular season against the New York Giants.
Fantasy impact: Ertz is now trending as an every-week TE1. Many fantasy owners who gave up on Ertz may want to consider picking him up where available. He’ll be in the TE1 conversation against a Giants defense that struggles against opposing tight ends. Ertz’s amount of targets over the past three weeks make for considerable upside in PPR leagues.
