For the last several years, the Philadelphia Eagles used tight ends in the passing game as much as any team in the league. The only difference between the Eagles and teams like Kansas City with one dominant tight end was that Philadelphia had two – Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert.
Both of them became impressive offensive weapons, but from the fantasy football perspective, having 2 guys performing 1 role tended to devalue both. When one or the other was injured, the healthy 1 thrived. But when they played together, they were splitting up the production. That changed 6 games into the 2021 season when Ertz was a somewhat surprising trade deadline move when he was sent to the Arizona Cardinals.
Below, we look at Zach Ertz’s'2022 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.
Arizona has long been a desert for tight end production. Can you name the last playmaking tight end that made a fantasy impact who played for the Cardinals? The truth is that there hasn’t been a consistent fantasy tight end there in decades, not just a few years. Ertz may change that. In 11 games he played with the Cardinals last season, he caught 56 passes for 574 yards.
