Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Dallas Goedert

Saturday, November 8, 5:41 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has had an underwhelming year in his 13th season in the league, catching 31 of his 44 targets for 291 yards and four touchdowns in nine games. Ertz has dropped more passes and had procedural penalties than you would expect from a veteran player, but it's been that kind of season for Washington. The 34-year-old tight end is still a capable threat in the red zone and on third downs, but he offers zero ability after the catch. Ertz has seen a slight drop off in production with Marcus Mariota as the starter compared to Jayden Daniels (elbow), who will miss an extended period of time. In Daniels' five starts, Ertz has recorded 22 catches for 216 yards and all four of his touchdowns on 30 targets, compared to nine catches, 75 yards, and no touchdowns on 13 targets in Mariota's three starts. Ertz is ranked as RotoBaller's TE14 in PPR leagues for Week 10 against the Lions.

Philadelphia Eagles tight end Dallas Goedert has been a top fantasy producer. It's fair to say he's had some weak showings throughout the 2025 campaign. However, the 30-year-old has also had a few standout performances, including a two-touchdown effort in the Week 8 NFC East clash with the New York Giants, marking his second multi-score game of the year. Goedert has 30 catches and 289 receiving yards this season, which isn't great compared to other tight ends around the National Football League. On the other hand, he's made up for it by finding the end zone seven times, more than anyone else at the position. With the Eagles sitting among the top teams in the NFC, Philadelphia will look to extend its winning streak to three games by handling Green Bay on Monday night. The Packers have had trouble defending opposing tight ends this season. Still, Goedert's designation as a must-start fantasy option wouldn't have changed even if he had a challenging matchup on the horizon. That will remain the case until he shows signs of regression moving ahead.
