ANALYSIS: Zach Ertz’s stock is falling faster than Johnny Depp’s. He has not scored a touchdown yet. He has not had a 60-yard game yet. He missed a couple games with a serious rib injury. Quarterback phenom Carson Wentz ignores him. The fantasy football community is losing faith in Ertz and has begun dropping him off rosters.
So why pick Ertz up when he is at his lowest point? This week he faces the division rival New York Giants. Ertz has racked up 298 receiving yards against the Giants over the last four games he has played against them. Four games is not a small sample size. This could be the week Ertz turns things around and starts playing like he is capable of. Remember that this is a guy who had 75 receptions for 853 yards just last year.
Wentz is only going to get better and Ertz is only going to get healthier. While Ertz can be viewed as just a one-week option if need be, he has the chance of saving his season and rounding back into form, so taking a flyer on him now if he is on your league’s waiver wire is a great idea if you have the roster room.
