Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Nico Collins

Saturday, November 8, 5:41 PM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has had an underwhelming year in his 13th season in the league, catching 31 of his 44 targets for 291 yards and four touchdowns in nine games. Ertz has dropped more passes and had procedural penalties than you would expect from a veteran player, but it's been that kind of season for Washington. The 34-year-old tight end is still a capable threat in the red zone and on third downs, but he offers zero ability after the catch. Ertz has seen a slight drop off in production with Marcus Mariota as the starter compared to Jayden Daniels (elbow), who will miss an extended period of time. In Daniels' five starts, Ertz has recorded 22 catches for 216 yards and all four of his touchdowns on 30 targets, compared to nine catches, 75 yards, and no touchdowns on 13 targets in Mariota's three starts. Ertz is ranked as RotoBaller's TE14 in PPR leagues for Week 10 against the Lions.

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins was all over the field during Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Collins made some huge catches for the Texans in this one including a one-handed two-point conversion. He hauled in seven of his 15 targets for 136 yards in the comeback victory. This was the first time that Collins has finished with over 100 receiving yards since Week 3 which was also against the Jags. Collins has posted back-to-back seven-catch performances as he heads into a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 11.
