Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Evan Engram

Friday, October 17, 6:36 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (shoulder, calf) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 7 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Ertz missed practice to start the week, but was upgraded to a full participant on Thursday. However, Ertz was downgraded to a limited participant on Friday. The veteran tight end is dealing with multiple injuries that could keep him sidelined this weekend. The Commanders are already without Terry McLaurin (quad) for Week 7. Both Ertz and Deebo Samuel Sr. (heel) is considered questionable for this game. If active, both players figure to play big roles on offense.

In Sunday's London game, which few would consider an instant classic, Denver tight end Evan Engram led all Broncos pass catchers with five receptions for 42 yards. Both marks also represented season highs for the veteran tight end, who has now seen at least five targets and four receptions in three straight games. While none of these numbers justify the brief offseason hype stemming from head coach Sean Payton's talk of using him in the Joker role, Engram has provided a reliable floor at a position where that's hard to come by. If he can mix in the occasional touchdown, as he did in Week 5, he should continue to be in play in most formats as injuries and bye weeks mount.
