Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Hayden Hurst

Sunday, October 27, 8:45 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz led the team in receptions in their victory over the Chicago Bears. Ertz brought in seven of his season-high 11 targets for 77 yards. Since struggling during Weeks 3 through 5, Ertz has now scored double-digit PPR points in each of the past three games and has seen at least five targets and four receptions in each of them. Without a proven No.2 wideout, the veteran tight end has emerged as a productive option in this offense and should be viewed as a high-floor TE1 going forward. Next week, Ertz will face the New York Giants, who have allowed the third-fewest PPR points to opposing tight ends.

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hip) and tight end Hayden Hurst (groin) are both officially questionable for Sunday's home matchup against the New Orleans Saints. LA's pass-catchers both kicked off the week tagged with DNPs, though it took the former until Friday to log a limited session, while the latter did so twice this week. Tight end Will Dissly (shoulder) is also questionable for the contest, while wide receivers Quentin Johnston (ankle) and Derius Davis (hamstring) have both been deemed doubtful. It's been quite the whirlwind of injuries for the Chargers over the last few weeks. With a litany of athletes' statuses in question, tight ends Stone Smartt and Eric Tomlinson and wide receivers Joshua Palmer, Simi Fehoko, and Brenden Rice are the only Chargers pass-catchers not to carry a designation ahead of Week 8.
