Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz should continue to be viewed as a low-end TE1 in Week 12 when he faces the Dallas Cowboys. Last week, during their loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Ertz brought in six of his seven targets for 47 yards and his second touchdown of the season. Since Week 6, Ertz has scored double-digit PPR points in four of the six contests and averaged 6.2 targets per game in this span. With a lack of a proven No.2 option in the passing attack, Ertz has continued to see a steady volume of work weekly. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should continue to view Ertz as a solid option this weekend when facing a struggling Cowboys defense that has allowed 34 points in each of their past two games.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz was back on the practice field as a full participant during Thursday's session. The veteran tight end missed Wednesday's practice for rest purposes, but is back to being a full participant now. Fellow tight end Ben Sinnott (illness) also missed Wednesday's practice, but joined Ertz for a full session on Thursday. Both tight ends figure to have a full workload during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Ertz is coming off a game where he hauled in six of his seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown during last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He has been quiet for a few weeks before that game, but hopefully that is a sign of good things to come for the veteran tight end.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz converted seven targets into six catches for 47 yards and one touchdown during Thursday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Ertz found the end zone with 31 seconds left and proceeded to earn an "octopus" by adding a successful two-point conversion catch one play later. Ertz has been a top-12 fantasy tight end this season and continued to put together a strong age-34 campaign as he finished Week 11 with more catches, yards, and touchdowns than all of Washington's wide receivers combined.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz should be viewed as a low-end TE1 heading into a Week 11 tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles. Last weekend, the veteran tight end saw a team-high in targets, which was an excellent bounce-back showing for him as he saw just one in Week 9. Since Week 6, Ertz has scored double-digit PPR points in three games and caught at least four passes in all but one. With Washington lacking a proven No.2 wideout, Ertz has seen consistent targets throughout the season. Even though he is facing a tough Eagles defense that has allowed the fourth-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends this season, Ertz should still see a solid workload, making him a low-end starting option in PPR formats.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz saw a team-high eight targets in their loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday afternoon. However, he could only bring in four of them for 31 yards. Despite the modest output in the box score, this was a great bounce-back showing for Ertz, as he brought in his lone target last weekend for a mere five yards. During Weeks 6 through 8, the 34-year-old caught at least four passes in each game and saw at least five targets. Fantasy managers should continue to view Ertz as a low-end TE1 going forward, given his role as a prominent pass catcher in the Washington offense. Next week, he will face the Philadelphia Eagles, who have allowed the 17th-most PPR points to opposing tight ends.
Nov 10, 2024 4:58 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz should be viewed as a low-end TE1 heading into Week 10 despite his poor showing last weekend. Facing the Giants, Ertz had his worst showing of the season as he brought in his lone target for just five yards. However, during Weeks 6 through 8, Ertz scored at least double-digit PPR points in each of them and averaged seven targets per game. This weekend, even though he will be facing a tough Pittsburgh defense, he should be viewed as a reliable option in deeper formats, given the consistent volume he has seen throughout a majority of the campaign.
Nov 8, 2024 6:10 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz took the backseat in Week 9 as he brought in his lone target for five yards. This was his lowest output of the season, and snapped a three-game streak where he topped double-digit PPR points in each outing. Fantasy managers should not be overly concerned, as the Commanders were in the lead the entire afternoon and did not need Jayden Daniels to push the ball downfield as often. The veteran tight end remains a low-end TE1 heading into Week 10 as he has averaged 7.3 targets in his past four games entering Week 9.
Nov 3, 2024 4:30 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has emerged as the No.2 option for Jayden Daniels and should continue to be viewed as a solid TE1 in all formats in Week 9. Since Week 5, Ertz has seen at least five targets in each game, with a season-high of 11 coming last weekend in their victory over the Chicago Bears. During this span, Ertz has scored double-digit PPR points in all but one game. Without a reliable No.2 wideout, fantasy managers should expect Ertz to continue seeing reliable targets weekly. Even though the New York Giants have allowed the fourth-fewest PPR points to opposing TEs, he remains a solid tight end in all formats due to his safe volume.
Nov 1, 2024 8:36 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz led the team in receptions in their victory over the Chicago Bears. Ertz brought in seven of his season-high 11 targets for 77 yards. Since struggling during Weeks 3 through 5, Ertz has now scored double-digit PPR points in each of the past three games and has seen at least five targets and four receptions in each of them. Without a proven No.2 wideout, the veteran tight end has emerged as a productive option in this offense and should be viewed as a high-floor TE1 going forward. Next week, Ertz will face the New York Giants, who have allowed the third-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends.
Oct 27, 2024 8:45 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz remains a low-end TE1 heading into Week 8 as he faces the Chicago Bears. Last weekend, Ertz found the end zone for the first time in his Washington career last weekend and brought in four of his five targets for 40 yards. Over the past two weeks, Ertz has caught four passes in each game and seen at least five targets in each of them. Without a proven No.2 wideout, the veteran tight end has emerged as a consistent option in the Washington air attack. He remains a low-end TE1 on Sunday due to the reliable volume he has seen on a weekly basis.
Oct 25, 2024 10:07 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz caught four of his five targets for 40 yards and a score in their victory over the Carolina Panthers. This was the first time Ertz found the end zone in the DMV. The veteran tight end became a key part of the Washington offense once Marcus Mariota replaced Jayden Daniels (ribs). Even though Ertz was productive with Daniels, he seemed to have a strong connection with Mariota, as he finished with the third-most targets and second-most yards on the team. The 33-year-old has now tallied double-digit PPR points in back-to-back games and remains a solid low-end TE1 heading into Week 8.
Oct 20, 2024 7:35 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz led the Washington pass catchers in yards last weekend and should continue to be viewed as a low-end TE1. After scoring just 5.2 and 3.0 PPR points during Weeks 4 and 5, the veteran tight end got back on track in Baltimore and eclipsed double-digit points for the second time this season with 68 total yards. Ertz has been a safety valve for rookie QB Jayden Daniels but has taken the backseat on some occasions as Daniels has begun to push the ball downfield more often to his receivers. Nonetheless, given his offensive situation and matchup against the Carolina Panthers, who have allowed the 25th-most points to opposing tight ends, Ertz sets up as a high-floor TE1 option.
Oct 18, 2024 6:08 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz caught four of his five targets for a team-high 68 yards in their loss to the Baltimore Ravens. This was a nice bounce-back effort for the veteran tight end, as he caught just two passes last weekend. From Weeks 1-to-4, Ertz caught at least three passes. Despite the lack of upside, fantasy managers should continue to count on Ertz for a reasonable "floor" output every week, making him a low-end TE1 in deeper formats. The 33-year-old should have another productive game next weekend when the Commanders play host to the Carolina Panthers, who have a struggling secondary.
Oct 13, 2024 4:39 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz caught a season-low two passes for ten yards last weekend but has a great opportunity to bounce-back facing the Baltimore Ravens. Even though Ertz had his worst game on the scoresheet, he saw eight targets. From Weeks 1 to 4, Ertz averaged four targets in each game with a solid 37.5 yards. With the Commanders lacking a proven No.2 option in the passing attack, Ertz should continue to remain productive every week. Facing a Ravens defense that has allowed the 26th-most points to opposing tight ends makes Ertz a low-end TE1 with upside.
Oct 11, 2024 6:33 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz tied for a team-high eight targets today but could only bring in two for a mere 10 yards. This was his lowest output of the campaign regarding receptions and yards. The Commanders had a sizeable lead through most of the afternoon, keeping the ball on the ground and limiting Ertz's production. However, it was promising to see Ertz get several looks from his QB. The veteran remains a high-end TE2 heading into their Week 6 tilt with the Baltimore Ravens.
Oct 6, 2024 4:52 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz tallied a season-low 22 yards in their Week 4 victory over the Arizona Cardinals but remains a solid low-end TE1 this weekend. Throughout the early part of the season, the veteran tight end has seen at least three targets in every game and averaged 7.5 PPR points. He caught a season-high 62 yards in Week 2, and a season-high five catches the following week. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels continues to improve as a passer every week, and all Washington pass catchers should eventually benefit from this. With several top options at the position on their byes (Dallas Goedert and Sam LaPorta) this week, Ertz is worth a look as he could see an uptick in opportunities with Noah Brown (groin) ruled out.
Oct 4, 2024 5:40 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz had a quiet day on Sunday afternoon even though the Commanders scored 42 points. The veteran tight end finished the day with just three catches (on three targets) for 22 yards. He also caught a two-point conversion late in the game. Ertz finished fourth on the team in receiving yards behind Terry McLaurin, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Noah Brown. This was also his lowest yard total of the season. Fantasy managers should not be overly concerned with Ertz as the Washington offense continued to move down the field all afternoon. The 33-year-old remains a low-end TE1 going forward, as he should still see stable production given that he will be on the field for most of the snaps despite this underwhelming Week 4 output.
Sep 29, 2024 7:33 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz remains a solid TE1 heading into Week 4. Ertz has seen his reception count increase weekly this season, as he finished Week 3 with a new ' high of five. He has seen at least four targets every week and averaged 42.7 receiving yards. While the Commanders have lacked a proven No.2 wideout, the veteran tight end has filled that void, at least temporarily. Fantasy managers should expect Ertz to continue to serve as a reliable option in the middle of the field for Jayden Daniels. This week, he has a favorable matchup against a weak Arizona defense, making him a safe floor play with solid upside in all formats.
Sep 27, 2024 5:27 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz led the team with five receptions in their victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. The veteran tight end was given many looks during crunch time and was Jayden Daniel's safety net in the middle of the field. The 33-year-old has emerged as the No.2 pass-catcher in the first three weeks in this offense and has seen at least four targets in every game. Ertz should be viewed as a safe low-end TE1 going forward as he has built a strong connection with his rookie QB and should always be in line for consistent targets given the uncertainty at wide receiver behind Terry McLaurin. Ertz should be a priority waiver-add if you need a tight end and should be started in all standard formats next week in Arizona.
Sep 23, 2024 11:38 PM EST
Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz led the Commanders with 62 yards (on four receptions) in their victory over the New York Giants last week. Ertz served as a go-to option for the rookie QB all afternoon and looks to reclaim that same role against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Commanders lack a proven No.2 pass catcher, allowing running back Austin Ekeler and Ertz to have productive fantasy games. Fantasy managers should expect Ertz to see a solid workload in a game where the Commanders will likely be trailing, as they are currently 7.5-point underdogs. Ertz may not have a lot of upside, but he does provide a safe floor at a position that is filled with several injuries to top options like George Kittle (hamstring), Evan Engram (hamstring), and David Njoku (ankle).
