START ‘EM

4. player. 54. Projected Points: 6.6. Tight End. Eagles. Zach Ertz

Zach Ertz finally found the end zone last week and has been right on pace to be one of the top tight ends of 2017. To this point of the season, Ertz has racked up 21 catches for 245 yards and one touchdown.

This weekend, the Eagles will head to sunny Los Angeles to square off against the 0-3 Chargers. The Bolts did a nice job of keeping Travis Kelce out of the game last week, but don’t expect them to have similar success with Ertz.

He’s the leader in receiving yards between both teams and is proving to be one of Carson Wentz‘s favorite weapons so far this season. Fans might be weary of playing Ertz simply because of Los Angeles’ success at keeping tight ends out of the end zone, but Wentz isn’t afraid to throw at guys that are being covered.

With Ertz’s ability to go down the field and get the football, I like his chances at putting up some solid yardage this weekend.
