CBS Sports reports the Eagles are signing Zach Ertz after Dallas Goedert is expected to miss time. Goedert is listed questionable ahead of Philadelphia's trip to Tennessee.
Ertz returns to the franchise that drafted him, with Dallas Goedert expected to miss action
Sharp take
Sharp SixAddErtz is rostered in 0.8% of the field and the Eagles just handed him a job by default, which is the entire pitch. TE premium turns a mediocre 6-catch afternoon into a startable one, and Goedert put up 25.7 points in Week 1 out of that same role. The caveat is a 39.5-point total in Tennessee with Philadelphia favoured by 7, so this is volume in a low-scoring game, not a ceiling play. Spend on Ertz if your tight end spot is a problem. Hold Goedert regardless, because nobody cuts a starting tight end over a questionable tag.
