Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Tanner Hudson

Tuesday, October 14, 12:30 AM

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz caught all six of his targets for 43 yards and a touchdown in Monday night's 25-24 loss to the Bears. After going without a catch for the first time since the 2014 season in last week's game against the Chargers, Ertz bounced back and led Washington with six receptions, including a red-zone touchdown. It tied his season high for receptions and marked his third touchdown of the year. It was good to see the veteran get back on track and be a reliable weapon for Daniels and the Washington passing attack, which has been beaten up with injuries. Ertz will remain in TE1 territory for Week 7 in a potential high-scoring matchup in Dallas.

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Tanner Hudson (concussion) was listed as a non-participant on the team's Monday injury report due to a concussion. Cincinnati has a short week in Week 7 as they prepare to play the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday night, so Hudson appears to be at serious risk of being unavailable. The 30-year-old had not recorded a catch in 2025 heading into Week 6. However, in his first game with new Bengals quarterback Joe Flacco, Hudson recorded four catches for 10 yards and a touchdown on five targets. With fellow Cincinnati tight end Mike Gesicki (pectoral) also questionable to play in Week 7 due to a pectoral injury, Noah Fant could be in line to dominate playing time at the position for the Bengals on Thursday night against Pittsburgh.
