Who Should I Start? Aaron Rodgers or Zach Ertz

Sunday, November 2, 12:46 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers (hand) appeared to suffer a hand injury during warmups ahead of Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Indianapolis Colts, according to Ari Meirov of The 33rd Team. CBS Sports video showed Rodgers wincing and shaking his hand, with an emphasis on his right pinkie finger. If the veteran quarterback's throwing hand is injured, it could have an impact on his performance on Sunday. However, he continued to warm up without much issue and should be fine to play against the Colts. He remains a mid-to-high QB2 for fantasy purposes.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has seen six or more targets in three straight games since his no-catch performance in Week 5 against the Chargers. The veteran tight end continues to be a reliable threat in the red zone, leading the team with four receiving touchdowns. The 34-year-old will be happy to have second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels back as the starter, who he has been more productive with compared to backup Marcus Mariota. Ertz has uncharacteristically had multiple costly drops this season. The veteran has already totaled five drops in only eight games this season, more than he had all of last year and one off of his career high of six back in 2021. Ertz will likely see a solid target share with top wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) out, and it's a decent matchup against a Seattle defense that has allowed 47 receptions to opposing tight ends, tied for seventh most. Ertz is ranked as RotoBaller's TE13 in PPR formats for Sunday Night Football.
