Hardcore troubadour 12,961 Posted October 15, 2016 They where pretty productive under Kelly. Really? Who was that? The posistion might have been productive, at times, but good luck figuring out who, which is the name of the game in fantasy. This goes back to the Reid years. Tight ends on Philly get constant hype and little results. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,516 Posted October 15, 2016 In 2014 Ertz finshed 13 in fantasy football points in ppr with a Qb combo of Sanchez and Foles. 13th in ppr is good production especially based on the Qbs. Now last season 2015 with a better Qb Ertz finshed 9 th in ppr with Bradford as his Qb. This a Te one that's good production. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MDC 5,979 Posted October 15, 2016 Chad Lewis, Beent Celek, Zach Ertz. The Eagles have had a fantasy relevant TE for more of the past 15 years. They haven't had a stud at the position, but you can say that about 2/3rds of the league. Ertz is a little frustrating. Physically he has all the size and tools and reminds me a little of Jason Witten. He just has trouble staying healthy and the team has been inconsistent in getting him involved. He also isn't much of a redzone threat which is where his fantasy value really takes a hit. I think he will end up being a 750-800 yard 4/5 TD TE throughout his career. Those are fine #s but not nearly what the Eagles thought they were getting when they drafted him. The one thing that may change that is Wentz. He likes going over the middle and hasn't played much with Ertz. Plus they both have names that end in Z. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,961 Posted October 15, 2016 Chad Lewis had one decent hear. 700 and 3 td's, big deal. Celek also had one good year, maybe two, and has scored 30'td's in a ten year career. Knock yourself out. And those are the two best since Reid came on the scene 15-16 years ago. It's a myth this Eagles TE production. Check out how little Reid uses Kelce in KC. Pederson runs the same offense. It's all about the RB's and one WR. That's what has happened in the Reid offense for a long time now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 5,979 Posted October 15, 2016 Ertz had 750+ yards and 850+ yards the past 2 seasons. He's not going to win leagues but he should be a Top 10-12 option for the rest of the year which makes him fantasy start able. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,961 Posted October 15, 2016 Point is the posistion for the Eagles gets a lot of hype every year and the results aren't there, and it's been that way for a long time. LJ Smith anyone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MDC 5,979 Posted October 15, 2016 Nobody is saying Ertz is going to be a breakout candidate or stud but he is fantasy relevant and not a black hole. HTH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IGotWorms 3,441 Posted October 15, 2016 Depends where you drafted him. Posistion never matches the hype. How about if I picked him up off waivers as my backup TE, who could conceivably be a TE1 in his own right should my top guy go down? Does that meet your approval?

Hardcore troubadour 12,961 Posted October 15, 2016 How about if I picked him up off waivers as my backup TE, who could conceivably be a TE1 in his own right should my top guy go down? Does that meet your approval? Of course. I am talking about the historical record of that posistion in that offense. It has consistently been given more credit than it deserves. Again, look at Reid's offense in KC with Kelce. He's obv a tremendous talent, who is consistently under utilized. It was that way the last 2 years with Pederson as the OC. And if he's so good,'what's he doing on waivers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weepaws 2,516 Posted October 15, 2016 Will I play ppr so for you it doesn't count . For me a Te that's scoring enough fantasy points to be on my roster is production. And because that doesn't agree with your standard league scoring system doesn't make it the same for everyone. So it's been proven they have been productive. Next?

Question now is, regardless of how or when you got him, could he be a TE1 going forward? History says in that offense there will be a few good games, inconsistent. It's a run based offense and the TE is there to block, and is at best third in the pecking order behind the RB's and the #1 WR. I wouldn't count on that spot week to week. And PPR is outdated. It came about for a reason and that reason doesn't exist anymore. And how did this turn into me telling you who to play? I never brougt that up. Paranoid, making things up.

Hardcore troubadour 12,961 Posted October 15, 2016 Do you mind if I keep on playing it? Sure. But I do wish that fantasy had more uniformity sometimes. Some leagues, including one of mine, do some very different things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brotherbock 349 Posted October 15, 2016 Sure. But I do wish that fantasy had more uniformity sometimes. Some leagues, including one of mine, do some very different things. The only two leagues I play in regularly that have the same scoring are the two I commish And one of them is an IDP-only league, so that doesn't count for this matter. But I actually like the challenge of having to evaluate players on different standards. For example, I prefer PPR--in general, I prefer as much scoring for as many different stats as possible as long as scoring is balanced--but while I am 1-4 in my PPR keeper league this year, I am 5-0 in a non-ppr TD heavy league, a kind of scoring I don't like as much. Gives me some puzzles to suss out, figuring out what I'm doing right and wrong. And it's important, because I care about the keeper league a lot more.

weepaws 2,516 Posted October 16, 2016 Ertz in 2015 in ppr he finshed 9 in points. In 2015 non ppr he finshed 10th. In 2014 in ppr Ertz finshed 13. In 2014 in non ppr he finshed 13. So now what other scoring system is it that you play in? Either why that's production. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hardcore troubadour 12,961 Posted October 16, 2016 So after all the hype he finished 13th in a standard? That great if you have to play 2 TE's. Whatever, enjoy. If he has a good season that will be the surprise, not if he's mediocre. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

the spanker 28 Posted October 17, 2016 Let's get sane here and put things in perspective shall we? Eagles were DOMINATED in time of possession. Wentz only completed 11 passes for the entire game. Wentz threw a bad pass (bullet pass) to Ertz, which he should have caught for an easy TD. If Ertz had caught that pass and scored we wouldn't be having this "burn Ertz's jersey and drop him" discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
