Zach Ertz To Be Heavily Relied On in Week 7?

Friday, October 17, 10:05 AM

With the statuses of Washington's top wide receivers in doubt, Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz could emerge as the primary pass-catching option on Sunday. Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) was limited in Wednesday's practice before being downgraded to a non-participant on Thursday, while Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) has yet to practice this week and hasn't practiced often over the last few weeks. More will be known about their injuries on Friday. If both players were to miss, the veteran TE would be in line to lead Washington in targets, while rookie WR Jaylin Lane and second-year WR Luke McCaffrey would also see bumps in routes. Ertz is coming off his best game since Week 2, catching all six targets for 43 yards and a touchdown against the Bears. He ranks as a solid TE1 for a potential shootout against Dallas in Week 7.
