Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has been on a scoring tear, finding the end zone eight times in his last nine regular-season games while averaging over 11 half-PPR fantasy points per contest. The veteran has been a steady safety blanket for young quarterback Jayden Daniels, running a route on over 80% of dropbacks in each of the first two weeks. However, Daniels is questionable for Week 3 with a knee injury, and his absence could cap Ertz's upside. Still, Ertz remains a strong waiver-wire target for tight-end-needy teams, with the caveat that his value is tied closely to Daniels being under center.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo carries TE2 value heading into a Week 2 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. During their Week 1 loss to the Denver Broncos, the Titans' passing attack did not find much rhythm, which limited Okonkwo's upside. In this contest, the tight end caught just three of his four targets for 19 yards. In total, rookie quarterback Cameron Ward tallied just 112 yards in this contest. This weekend, the Titans will play host to the Los Angeles Rams, who held the Texans to just nine points in Week 1. In this contest, Houston tight end Dalton Schultz was able to catch three of his five targets for 28 yards. While Okonkwo could see increased value as Ward develops at the NFL level, for the time being, he projects to be a risky TE2 play given his current offensive environment. He is best kept on the bench in all standard one-TE leagues.
