Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Harold Fannin Jr.

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.

Cleveland Browns tight end Harold Fannin Jr. turned in a quiet outing in a Week 11 loss to the Baltimore Ravens, catching just two passes for 26 yards on a windy afternoon in Cleveland. The rookie will look to bounce back on the road against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 12. Fannin has been impressive in his debut season, catching 44 passes for 422 yards and two touchdowns across 10 contests. He will hope to keep that going in a tough matchup against a Raiders defense that is allowing just the 28th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends this season. Fannin remains a focal point in the Cleveland passing attack but the matchup for him in Week 12 isn't ideal. Treat him as a mid-range TE2 in fantasy for this weekend.
