Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Dallas Goedert

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.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert's six targets were second-most for his team in their last game, trailing only behind DeVonta Smith who had seven. Unfortunately for Goedert, this was his third game of the season in which he did not score a touchdown, and he has relied heavily on finding the end zone to have real fantasy production. He'll look to get back to his scoring ways this week against the Lions, whose defense allows the 13th-least amount of fantasy points to tight ends this year. In two of Detroit's last four games, the leading receiver for the opposing team has been a tight end (Cade Otton and Travis Kelce), which poses some promise for Goedert heading into Sunday Night Football. It feels like starting him boils down to taking the gamble on whether or not he finds pay dirt, but he still does it more often than not. He's a low-end TE1 in Week 11.
