Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Luke Musgrave

Sunday, December 7, 3:50 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (knee) exited during the third quarter of Sunday's Week 14 contest against the Minnesota Vikings. He was carted off the field and quickly ruled out. The veteran tight end finished the game with two targets, one catch, and 11 receiving yards. Ertz was emotional while being carted to the locker room, and there appears to be concern that he suffered a serious injury. We'll likely know more about his injury and status as he undergoes additional testing in the aftermath of Sunday's 31-0 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Ben Sinnott will step up as the Commanders' top tight end in his absence.

Green Bay Packers tight end Luke Musgrave gained 23 yards on his lone reception in Thursday's 31-24 win over their division-rival Detroit Lions. Musgrave was targeted just once on Thanksgiving and has now recorded exactly one reception in three straight outings. It was thought that the third-year pro would assume Green Bay's TE1 duties after teammate Tucker Kraft (knee) went down for the season with a knee injury. However, that hasn't been the case, as TE John FitzPatrick had out-snapped Musgrave in the previous two games before Week 13's win. Moreover, Jordan Love and the offense have leaned even less on the passing game recently, averaging just 25 pass attempts over the last three contests. Despite a decent amount of playing time, Musgrave can be safely avoided for fantasy purposes until the situation around him shifts.
