Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz caught just one of his two targets for 12 yards during their victory over the Philadelphia Eagles. Ertz suffered a concussion last weekend but was able to turn the corner in time to suit up for this divisional matchup. However, Ertz took the backseat in this game as the Washington wide receivers stole the show. This was only the second time this season where Ertz caught just one pass in a single game and third time seeing only two targets. The veteran tight end will look to bounce back next weekend facing the Atlanta Falcons who have allowed the 15th-fewest PPR points to the position this season.

Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson caught 2-of-5 targets in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Seattle Seahawks. The sixth-year pro was used sparsely on a day where wide receiver Justin Jefferson commanded most of quarterback Sam Darnold's attention (10/144/2). Otherwise, all other Vikings pass-catchers combined for just 12 receptions and 102 yards against a Seattle defense that hung tough most of the afternoon. It's another disappointing performance for Hockenson. The former Iowa Hawkeye has had two nice games in which he combined for 15 receptions and 186 yards. However, he's recorded only 19 catches and 192 yards in the other six. Things will get a bit easier for him in Week 17 against a Green Bay Packers defense that had allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to TEs ahead of this weekend. For now, though, fantasy managers may want to consider Hockenson as more of a TE2 with upside.
