Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles – $7,000

Zach Ertz has had a ridiculous volume share through three weeks of the 2018 season. Ertz has lived up to the hype coming into the season. The Philadelphia Eagles have shown no sign of slowing down their target share to the tight end position, even with the departure of offensive coordinator Frank Reich.

So far this season, Ertz has been targeted 33 times (first) with 21 receptions (first) and 215 receiving yards (third). No touchdowns as of yet, but this guy has amazing volume. In fantasy football high floors is what we want and look for. Ertz is a nice steady option that will get his share and then some each and every week.

Through three weeks, Ertz has averaged 71.7 receiving yards a game, seven receptions and a whopping 11 targets. This is exactly what we love in fantasy football. The Tennessee Titans’ 12th-overall ranked defense and 10th against the pass might steer some players away from buying Ertz in Week 4.

Don’t let these early-season defensive stats scare you away. Tennessee played a tough, low-scoring game against a Jacksonville offense who clearly missed its stud running back in Leonard Fournette. The Eagles are built differently and let’s not forget Carson Wentz is back under center.

Last week on the Eagles first drive Wentz wasted no time targeting Ertz with three for 32 yards. Ertz finished with 10 total targets, five receptions and 73 receiving yards. Don’t pass up on this great volume opportunity in Week 4.

Prediction: 75 receiving yards, 1 touchdown, 10 receptions
