FANTASY PLAYS: Players to start and sit for NFL Week 15

Frustrating year continues Ertz caught two of his three targets for eight yards in Sunday's 24-21 win over the Saints.

Impact All of Ertz's targets came in the first half. The final one appeared to be a catch along the sideline that should have gone for a first down, but he was ruled short of the sticks. Although he played 50 snaps total, he was not heard from again in the box score. Meanwhile, Dallas Goedert played fewer snaps but garnered twice as many looks. The 30-year-old Ertz has seen just 21 targets compared to 30 for Goedert over the four games in which they've both been healthy this year.

Two catches in return Ertz caught two of his four targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 30-16 loss to Green Bay.

Impact After missing five games on IR, Ertz played 27 snaps to Dallas Goedert's 52. While an uptick in playing time can be expected over the rest of the season for the three-time Pro-Bowl tight end, he may struggle to produce useful numbers. Ertz has logged more than 42 receiving yards in a game just once in seven tries this year with only one TD.

Ready to return Sunday Ertz (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Green Bay.

Impact The Eagles opened Ertz's practice window on Nov. 16, but they used more than two weeks to bring him back to the active roster. After logging limited sessions both Wednesday and Thursday, he practiced in full Friday, officially clearing him to return to action. On Sunday, Ertz will be taking on a Packers defense that has allowed 8.1 yards per target (sixth most in the NFL) to tight ends this season.

Should play Sunday Coach Doug Pederson expressed optimism Ertz (ankle) will be able to play Sunday against the Packers, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact The 30-year-old was activated off injured reserve this week and was a limited practice participant Wednesday and Thursday, so he appears on track to return to the field this weekend. According to Les Bowen of the Philadelphia Daily News, Pederson also said the team has "to be smart" about Ertz's usage if he's cleared, given it would be his first game action since Week 6. Dallas Goedert should continue operating as the team's No. 1 tight end for now.

Logs another limited practice Ertz (ankle) was listed as limited on Thursday's injury report.

Impact The Eagles activated Ertz from injured reserve Wednesday, and he's followed it up with back-to-back limited sessions. He's seemingly on the cusp of making his first appearance since sustaining a high-ankle sprain Oct. 18 against the Ravens, but his status should continue to be watched to make sure Philly clears him to return Sunday at Green Bay.

Gets in limited practice Ertz (ankle) was limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Activated from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, Ertz appears to be easing into things as he seeks his first appearance since Week 6. Prior to that point, he wasn't exactly clicking within the Eagles offense, hauling in 24 of 45 targets for 178 yards and one touchdown in six games. Ertz will look to ramp up his activity level as the week goes on.

DECEMBER 2, 2020 • PHILADELPHIAEAGLES.COM

Activated from IR The Eagles activated Ertz (ankle) from injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact Before suffering a high-ankle sprain Oct. 18, Ertz had caught 24 of his 45 targets for 178 yards and a touchdown in six games. In his absence, Dallas Goedert and Richard Rodgers headed the Eagles' tight-end corps, but the return of Ertz dampens the outlooks for the former two players. Ertz should reclaim a significant share of the offensive snaps after he was on the field for no fewer than 85 percent of the Eagles' plays in any of the first five games of the season, but the poor efficiency he showed while ostensibly healthy in those contests means that he shouldn't necessarily be viewed as a surefire fantasy starter now that he's back in action.

Won't suit up Monday Ertz (ankle) will not be activated from IR for Monday's game against the Seahawks, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact The Eagles never appeared very optimistic about the chances of Ertz suiting up in Seattle, so this news only confirms the expected. The veteran tight end's next chance to play will come Week 13 in Green Bay. In the meantime, Dallas Goedert and Richard Rodgers will lock down Philadelphia's tight end position.
