Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Rachaad White

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has scored in back-to-back games and continues to produce at age 34. Ertz will be joined back by top wide receivers Terry McLaurin, who returns from a four-game absence due to a quadriceps injury, and Deebo Samuel Sr., who missed Week 7 with a heel injury. The veteran tight end will miss his connection with quarterback Jayden Daniels, who has been ruled out with a hamstring injury. Ertz was quiet in Marcus Mariota's two starts this season, catching five of seven targets for 59 yards. He could benefit from McLaurin's vertical ability back in the lineup to open up space underneath, but Kansas City has been a tough matchup for opposing tight ends, allowing the fourth fewest points per game. Ertz is ranked as RotoBaller's TE13 for Week 8.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back Rachaad White is coming off a lackluster performance against the Detroit Lions last week. White rushed 10 times for 38 yards, while hauling in four receptions for an additional six yards through the air. The Bucs were playing from behind for basically the entire game, so they were exactly committed to the rushing attack. White will remain the lead back for at least one more week with Bucky Irving (foot, shoulder) still sidelined. The assumption is that White will bounce back against the shaky New Orleans Saints defense. White should be able to offer high-end RB2 value for this weekend.
