Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Cade Otton

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has continued to be productive in his age-34 season, catching 14 of 20 targets for 149 yards and two touchdowns. Currently the TE11 in total points scored, Ertz will benefit from having star quarterback Jayden Daniels (knee) return to the lineup, as they have built a strong rapport in their two years together. He's been less productive with veteran Marcus Mariota starting the past two games, catching five of seven targets for 59 yards. The veteran will look to get back on the right track in Week 5 against a difficult Chargers defense that has allowed the sixth fewest receptions to tight ends this season. Ertz can be trusted as a low-end TE1 for Week 5.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton was able to make a small impact during last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Otton hauled in three of his four targets for nine yards. Through four games, Otton has been held to six receptions for 34 yards and no touchdowns. He has played above 90 percent of the offensive snaps each of the last three games. Despite that, Otton doesn't appear to be a viable option in the receiving game right now. Both Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin figure to continue seeing a high volume of targets. Otton can continue to ride the bench until he starts making a consistent impact.
