Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Juwan Johnson

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz posted a massive receiving line in Week 13 against Denver, totaling 10 receptions for 106 yards on 13 targets. It marked the veteran's first 100-yard performance since last season's NFC Championship game against his former team in the Philadelphia Eagles. The 35-year-old has been a reliable target for both quarterbacks Marcus Mariota and Jayden Daniels (elbow) this season, and Daniels is slated to return in Week 14 against the Minnesota Vikings. Ertz's fantasy value is higher with Daniels at the helm, as he's been his go-to target down in the red zone, scoring 11 touchdowns in 23 games together. Daniels should be looking Ertz's direction often on Sunday against a blitz-happy Vikings defense. He ranks as RotoBaller's TE15 in PPR leagues in Week 14.

New Orleans Saints tight end Juwan Johnson brought in five of nine targets for 39 yards in the Week 13 loss to the Dolphins. The nine targets were a team-high and his most since Week 2. He will look to build on this momentum in a matchup against the Buccaneers, where he had five receptions for 53 yards earlier in the season. The Saints will be shorthanded for the contest, with running back Alvin Kamara (ankle, knee) ruled out and receiver Chris Olave (back) questionable to play. Through four games with Tyler Shough under center, Johnson has recorded an 18-202-2 stat line. Even if Olave suits up, Johnson will operate as a TE1 in what should be a pass-heavy offense against a Buccaneers team allowing 247.5 passing yards per game.
