Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Dallas Goedert

Monday, September 8, 10:47 AM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz recorded three catches for 26 yards and a touchdown in his team's 21-6 Week 1 victory over the New York Giants. Ertz finished second on the Commanders in targets (five), behind only wide receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. (10). The 34-year-old tight end is not an explosive player, but he's proven to be a reliable end zone target for Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. In 21 games (including playoffs) playing with Daniels, Ertz has found the end zone nine times. He profiles as a fringe fantasy TE1 who is reliant on touchdowns but should provide a safe floor for fantasy managers, particularly in PPR-scoring formats.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert caught all seven of his targets for 44 yards during Thursday's season opener against the Dallas Cowboys. The veteran pass-catcher was Jalen Hurts' preferred option in the passing game as he led the team in targets. Although he had a relatively low yardage total and wasn't able to find the end zone, fantasy managers should still be excited about his ability to produce with heavy volume headed his way on a consistent basis. Goedert remains a top-10 fantasy tight end heading into Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and he has a high ceiling in an offense that continues to trend upward.
