A contender should treat Zach Ertz as a lineup purchase only when the available usage does not yet prove a weekly lineup edge and the tight-end edge exceeds a cheaper active alternative. Do not use the current profile to assume routes, targets, or a guaranteed scoring outcome.
A rebuilder should shop Zach Ertz for draft liquidity or a younger asset when another roster values the current tier more than the remaining career window. 3-week observed sample is a reason to set a bounded price, not to wait for an invented future role.
