#3 Zach Ertz – Philadelphia Eagles – 2017 total = 165.4
Zach Ertz had a superb 2017, catching 74 for passes and getting in the end zone 8 times. He was 3rd in the league among Tight Ends with 824 receiving yards, and that was also a team high amongst all receivers.
He showed good rapport with Carson Wentz and was often his first read on red zone plays. Ertz also caught the go-ahead touchdown in Superbowl 52, catching a 7-yard pass from backup QB Nick Foles.

The Eagles drafted Tight End Dallas Goedert in the second round of this year’s draft. Goedert was thought by many to be the best Tight End in this year’s draft class.
That being said, I don’t think he will eat into Ertz’s targets too much. Trey Burton was the backup TE last year in Philly, and he barely saw any targets until Ertz went down with an injury.
Ertz is locked in as a TE1 this season and it wouldn’t surprise me if he improves on last year’s totals.
