Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or CeeDee Lamb

Friday, October 31, 11:50 PM

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.

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb turned in another solid performance in Week 8 against a tough Denver defense, hauling in seven of 10 targets for 74 yards. Even in a difficult matchup, Lamb continued to operate as Dak Prescott's clear top option, maintaining his strong target share. The Cowboys now face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 9, a defense that ranks 10th in passing yards allowed per game (234.9). This matchup presents an opportunity for the Dallas passing attack to find more success through the air. Lamb has proven to be one of the most reliable fantasy wideouts when healthy.Fantasy managers should continue to view Lamb as a high-end WR1 heading into Week 9. RotoBaller currently ranks him as the No. 4 wide receiver for the week.
