This is not a buy low thread, or a rebound thread "because they have to". I wanted to start this thread to analyze players that due to a change in circumstances on their respective teams will realize their potential or improve their play drastically. These may be players on our own team or players we want to target in potential trades.
I will start......
ZACK ERTZ TE PHI- A preseason break out candidate who has disappointed fantasy owners the first half of the season. Chip Kelly's wide open offense and a strong finish last year provided much promise to 2014. The problem has been, as I see it, numerous injuries along the offensive line that have affected protection for Nick Foles and running lanes for McCoy. This in turn has diminished Ertz first half value as he is an inferior blocker to Brett Celek. Still, watching this guy in the open field you know what he is capable of with more snaps.
The second half promises a change as the Eagles O-Line is getting healthy. Lane Johnson returned and McCoy had his best game of the season. 2 more starting lineman will be returning shortly and the team will not be as dependent on tight ends staying in to block. I expect a resurgence for Ertz in the second half as the Eagles come out of their bye due to these changing circumstances along the line.
Next?
