The rotting corpse of Zach Ertz

[M-Dub]

Is he even worth rostering anymore? He was just dropped in league 2 in my sig where my current backup to Hockenson is Tyler Conklin. OJ Howard is also available in that league (I actually dropped him for Conklin but was recently having second thoughts).

I also own Ertz on team 1, along with Logan Thomas and Firkser. I’m planning on only carrying two TEs. Would you guys drop Ertz before Firkser? I may even wind up dropping both of them and carrying another WR/RB until LT’s bye week, or at least until a more viable option emerges on the waiver wire.

Where are you guys at on Ertz? Do you prefer him to Conklin and/or OJH? What about Firkser?

I would still gamble on Ertz over Conklin and Firkser. I don't expect much from either of those two. I would be more interested in Howard but I would still see how Ertz comes out and where he lands if traded.

Zombie Ertz will be feasting like the vulture he is all season long...as long as he is healthy.

OJ Howard is coming off Achilles injury. He may never be the same. And Gronk is still there. And Brate is also getting snaps.

Firkser *was* intriguing as a possible #2 target in the Titans offense. But then Julio got signed. The #3 in the that run heavy scheme just can't be worth much.

Conklin is a total flyer. And the same argument against Firkser applies to him in Dalvin Cook's run heavy offense. Except his outlook is even worse as you'd be hoping for the #4 target behind J.J, Thielen, and Irv Smith. Maybe even possibly Osborn. Cousins passes a little more than Tannehill but still. Not looking good.

As a bottom scraping TE lowlife I have scoured the depths of TE abyss and looked at all these guys. Would gladly take Ertz for any of them.

I'd hold Ertz over any of those other players. He was hurt last year, but the year before he had 88 rec, 900 yards, so I'd roll with him easily.

Who else is available? Anyone like Dan Arnold? If not any other sleeper choices I think any of those 3 are pretty equal. Ertz, Conklin, howard could all be same tier in scoring at the years end.

Arnold is available in both leagues, but after the way Ian Thomas was ignored in that offense last year, I’m extremely hesitant to chase the 5th (at best) receiving option in Carolina, behind CMC, DJM, Anderson and Marshall.

The reason I still like Firkser even after the Julio trade is that it should be a pretty consolidated target distribution with AJB, Julio and Firkser getting the lion’s share of targets. Henry doesn’t catch passes and their D is suspect, so I suspect they’ll at least throw more than they did last year.

Other options available for team 1: Jarwin, Knox, Herndon, MAC, Doyle, Akins.

Team 2 is slimmer picking: OJ, Graham, Doyle, Akins, Uzomah.

The rosters expand by six players during the offseason in both leagues, so there might be better options available on the wire once the season starts. I’m just wondering if it’s even worth carrying two TEs for either team. Both teams have a decent amount of young WRs and RBs that offer more potential upside.

Sit on Ertz, he is making 12.7million dollars this year, nothing else he will get volume until/if/when he breaks.

Why are you bumping multiple old threads about Ertz?

[yinzername]

Cause I’m looking for news and opinions on Ertz chance to suit up, and Goederts flex-ableness. Duh, did u read either post? They’re pretty clear.
