Zach Ertz News
Saturday, October 3, 12:29 PM
Philadelphia Eagles tight end Zach Ertz made his 2026 debut in Week 3, recording one catch for nine yards on two targets in his team's loss to the Chicago Bears. The 35-year-old played 38% of Philadelphia's offensive snaps, second among Eagles tight ends behind Johnny Mundt. Ertz may end up playing a larger role in his team's game plan in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams. Philadelphia will be without top pass-catching tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) for the second straight week. The Eagles will also be missing star wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring), leaving the team without its top two pass-catching options. Ertz is coming off a major knee injury that ended his 2025 season, so he may not be able to handle a full snap share yet. Still, he could be a red zone target for Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts and profiles as a potential tight end streamer for deep-league fantasy managers in Week 4.

Anthony Firkser News
Friday, July 31, 6:49 AM
The Detroit Lions have signed veteran tight end Anthony Firkser following his release from the Commanders on Wednesday, according to NFL Insider Adam Schefter. An undrafted free agent in 2017, Firkser has played for five different teams across eight professional seasons, appearing in seven games for the Lions in 2025, which marked his second stint with the team. Tasked with an expanded role in the wake of Sam LaPorta's move to injured reserve, Firkser caught eight passes for 53 yards but could be tabbed for more special teams responsibilities in 2026. He joins a Lions depth chart of LaPorta, Brock Wright, and Tyler Conklin and will be looking to earn one of the final spots on the Lions' 53-man roster.
