Head coach Nick Sirianni said Ertz and Goedert both rank near the top of the team in targets and catches throughout training camp, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
Shorr-Parks says his stats show the same thing, with quarterback Jalen Hurts taking a liking to his talented tight ends. The popular thinking all offseason was that the Eagles would trade Ertz and shift to more three-wide formations under a new coaching staff, but both tight ends now seem likely to have significant roles in the passing game. Assuming Ertz remains in Philadelphia, the division of snaps and targets between him and Goedert will be one of the key things to monitor for fantasy purposes early in the season. The Eagles kick their season off Sept. 12 in Atlanta, facing a Falcons defense that finished in the bottom half of the league for points and yards allowed each of the past three seasons.
