BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~88 Overall
CURRENT ADP: ~96
ANALYSIS: Why are people writing Zach Ertz off the fantasy books already? Yes, Ertz had a horrid 2020 season. Also relevant: Ertz was playing for an Eagles franchise that didn't even know what they were doing as an organization, so it made sense for him to have a down year in which on top of everything he only logged 11 games played. I mean, give this veteran a break, please.
Ertz has finished as a top-10 TE in six of the past seven seasons (all except that fluky 2020). He also was the TE22 as a rookie and already the TE13 in his sophomore season. That's almost a decade ago, yes, but the consistency Ertz has shown is sublime and just last year--splitting time between Philly and 'Zona--he came up with another impressive TE5 campaign in which he put up 180.7 PPR to the tune of a 112/74/763/5 receiving line.
You can hate him all you want, but Ertz posted marks approaching his prior bests in terms of YPR (10.3), TD% (4.5), Catch% (66.1), and total yardage. If you're expecting the 2018 version of Ertz, well, let me tell you those were the great old times. But even a relatively average version of Ertz showing up next season (remember, also, that DeAndre Hopkins will miss the first six games of 2022) should be more than enough to give you top-12 TE production for nothing more than a sixth/seventh-round pick if not less.
