Zach Ertz is the TE11 in fantasy points per game while seeing two red zone targets this season. Ertz has a 15.8% target share with 37.3 receiving yards per game (1.46 yards per route run) and a 19.4% first-read share. He faces a Bolts' pass defense that has utilized single high 51.1-59.4% in three of four games this season. Against single high, Ertz has seen his target share fall to 11.3% with only 0.73 yards per route run and a 10.9% first-read share. Ertz is a fade this week. The Bolts have allowed the 12th-fewest schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game and the seventh-fewest receiving yards to tight ends.
