Zach Ertz Plans to Return for 14th Season

Tuesday, February 24, 5:40 AM

Three-time Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz (knee) plans to return in 2026 for a 14th NFL season and is expected to be cleared right around Week 1, sources told Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network. Ertz, who will be a free agent next month, is two months into rehab from a torn ACL. The 35-year-old veteran ranks fifth in catches and eighth in yards among tight ends in NFL history, including 50 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns in 13 games last before before suffering his season-ending knee injury in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings on Dec. 7. Given his age and uncertainty about whether he'll actually be 100% ready to play in the season opener this fall, Ertz's fantasy stock will drop considerably going into the 2026 season. In his first year in Washington in 2024, Ertz had a 66-654-7 line in 17 games played.

Ben Sinnott News

Is it Time to Move on From Ben Sinnott?

Monday, April 27, 5:48 AM

Washington Commanders tight end Ben Sinnott was a second-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and with that draft capital came lofty fantasy expectations. Unfortunately, the third-year player, who showed flashes of dynamism at Kansas State, has yet to top 36 receiving yards in any game while playing mostly behind the almost-36-year-old Zach Ertz. With the Commanders committing nearly $17 million of guaranteed money to Chig Okonkwo on the first day of free agency, Sinnott appears to remain buried on the depth chart. Even with two-time Pro Bowler Terry McLaurin sidelined for much of the season and Washington using heavy personnel at one of the highest rates in the league in 2025, Sinnott was unable to stand out among a group of pass catchers led by a 29-year-old Deebo Samuel Sr., who remains unsigned as the calendar approaches May. With McLaurin expected to return to full health and the Commanders spending a third-round draft pick on Clemson's Antonio Williams, Sinnott is approaching roster-clogging status as dynasty managers look to free up bench spots for the incoming crop of rookies.
