Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Chig Okonkwo

Saturday, November 15, 10:57 AM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has still been a useful player for fantasy leagues in his age-35 season, recording 35 catches for 345 yards and four touchdowns on 49 targets. Ertz has four catches in each of his past four games and made a few impressive contested grabs in Washington's Week 10 loss to the Lions. The veteran doesn't present much fantasy upside at this stage of his career, but he's always a threat to score a touchdown as Washington's offense has stayed relatively efficient with Marcus Mariota filling in for an injured Jayden Daniels (elbow). Ertz hasn't scored in the past three games, but gets an enticing matchup against the Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the third most PPR points per game to opposing tight ends. Ertz ranks as RotoBaller's TE12 for Sunday's matchup in Madrid, Spain.

Tennessee Titans tight end Chig Okonkwo (foot) finds himself on the injury report yet again in Week 13, and he was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday, according to ESPN's Michael DiRocco. Okonkwo shouldn't have any problem playing through his foot injury this weekend against the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars unless he suffers a setback in practice on Thursday or Friday. The 26-year-old is still looking for his first touchdown of the 2025 season and has not had much fantasy upside in one of the worst offenses in football while sharing targets with rookie TE Gunnar Helm. Okonkwo has gone over 50 receiving yards in a game this year just three times in 11 games, although two of those instances have come in the last four games. Okonkwo will have less appeal as a TE2 streamer in fantasy football in Week 13 if rookie receiver Elic Ayomanor (hamstring) is able to return.
