Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Cooper Rush

Thursday, November 21, 9:32 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz was back on the practice field as a full participant during Thursday's session. The veteran tight end missed Wednesday's practice for rest purposes, but is back to being a full participant now. Fellow tight end Ben Sinnott (illness) also missed Wednesday's practice, but joined Ertz for a full session on Thursday. Both tight ends figure to have a full workload during Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys. Ertz is coming off a game where he hauled in six of his seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown during last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. He has been quiet for a few weeks before that game, but hopefully that is a sign of good things to come for the veteran tight end.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said on 105.3 The Fan that quarterback Cooper Rush gives the team the best chance to win with Dak Prescott (hamstring) out for the rest of the year. Head coach Mike McCarthy said he regrets not giving Trey Lance some run late in the blowout loss to the Houston Texans on Monday night, but apparently the Cowboys still believe that Rush is the better starting option heading into the Week 12 divisional clash against the Washington Commanders. However, if Dallas is down big again in the second half this Sunday, we'd expect Lance to enter the game and handle at least a few offensive series to get him some work. Rush threw for only 45 yards in Week 10 but went for 354 passing yards against Houston. Washington's secondary is vulnerable, but Rush will be nothing more than a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues in his third start.
