Zach Ertz A Fringe TE1 for Monday Night Against Chiefs

Saturday, October 25, 10:02 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has scored in back-to-back games and continues to produce at age 34. Ertz will be joined back by top wide receivers Terry McLaurin, who returns from a four-game absence due to a quadriceps injury, and Deebo Samuel Sr., who missed Week 7 with a heel injury. The veteran tight end will miss his connection with quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. Ertz was quiet in Marcus Mariota's two starts this season, catching five of seven targets for 59 yards. He could benefit from McLaurin's vertical ability back in the lineup to open up space underneath, but Kansas City has been a tough matchup for opposing tight ends, allowing the fourth fewest points per game. Ertz is ranked as RotoBaller's TE13 for Week 8.

Cade Otton News

Cade Otton Picking Up Steam

Monday, October 27, 9:16 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers tight end Cade Otton started off the season by posting some dubs, but has turned it around lately. Over the last four games, Otton has hauled in four receptions or more in every game. The 26-year-old has also finished with 40 receiving yards or more in all of those contests. The Bucs are extremely shorthanded with multiple playmakers out for the foreseeable future. That being said, Otton figures to continue seeing the ball coming his way during the second half of the season. The Bucs head into a bye in Week 9, but Otton should be a viable TE2 in the second half.
