Start: Zach Ertz, Philadelphia Eagles

@ New York Giants

This it’s obvious that you should be starting Zach Ertz in all leagues. He’s been on fire this year and is among the top fantasy performers at this position. In fact, Ertz has been one of the more productive players in all of fantasy.

He’s the Eagles top pass catcher and has the trust of his quarterback. Ertz does a great job finding open holes in the defense and providing the quarterback with a big target.

The only real grip is the fact the he has caught one touchdown. However, there’s no reason to worry as the touchdowns will start to come. This week against the New York Giants is a great opportunity for Ertz to add to his touchdown total.

Sit: Jordan Reed, Washington Redskins

vs. Carolina Panthers

On a positive note, Jordan Reed is relatively healthy and on the field. That’s not something that could always be said. However, his production hasn’t matched what we have come to expect from a healthy Reed.

He heads into this week’s matchup against the Carolina Panthers with only one touchdown and a total of 15 receptions.

It’s going to be a tough week as the Panthers feature plenty of talent at the linebacker position. The likes of Luke Kuechly, Thomas Davis and Shaq Thompson should all get a chance to work against Reed.
