Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Mike Gesicki

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz will be looking to build off of last Sunday's performance in Week 2 against the New York Giants. In the Week 1 loss to the Commanders, Ertz led the NFL in targets at the tight end position with 10, becoming a solid check-down option for quarterback Joshua Dobbs. Arizona's offensive line is currently a mess, and the Giants are looking to bounce back from their Week 1 thrashing at the hands of the Cowboys. Dobbs may look Ertz's way early and often. If that happens, the odds are good Ertz could approach the 10 target threshold once again and be a solid fantasy option. Either way, fantasy managers should roll with him in Week 2.

New England Patriots tight end Mike Gesicki isn't a reliable fantasy option heading into Sunday's clash with the New York Jets. While Gesicki impressed with five catches and 33 yards in Week 2, he remains the clear No. 2 option behind Hunter Henry. As a result, Gesicki's production is still volatile going forward, and it wouldn't be surprising to see him limited just to one or two targets during any given week. If Henry were to miss time with an injury, Gesicki could become a top-12 option. For the time being, though, your best bet is to look elsewhere for production at the tight end position.
