Eagles Mailbag: Can Zach Ertz lead all tight ends in receiving this season? - PhillyVoice
I was curious where Ertz ranked, league-wide, after reading this question, so I took a peek. Turns out he’s tied for fourth overall in the NFL in receptions, with 21, and 10th in yards, with 245. That’s good for first in the league among tight ends, who have generally gotten off to slow starts in 2017. Statistically so far this season, it’s Ertz and Gronk at the top, and then there's a big gap thereafter. Ertz is on pace for 112 catches and 1307 yards.
