Zach Ertz (hamstring) struggles in warmups, Eagles rule him out for Week 9
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) struggled through warmups and will not play against the Denver Broncos on Sunday.
What It Means:
Ertz was expected to play, but the Eagles apparently don't feel like he's up for it after suffering a pulled hamstring in Thursday's practice. Trey Burton is worth streaming consideration for Week 9. Ertz will have the bye week to heal before making a likely return against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11.
Ertz is averaging 13.5 FanDuel points per game this season with 43 catches for 528 yards and 6 touchdowns on 64 targets. Assuming he's not facing a long-term issue, numberFire's models project Ertz for 58.7 targets, 38.3 receptions, 472.1 yards, and 4.32 touchdowns over the remainder of the year.
