Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Tommy Tremble

Wednesday, December 10, 9:49 AM

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport reported that tight end Zach Ertz (knee) has officially been placed on the Injured Reserve on Wednesday with a knee injury. Ertz will miss the remainder of the 2025 season after suffering an ACL tear during Washington's 31-0 loss to the Vikings in Week 14. The hit looked brutal, and emotions were high as the Commanders saw him get carted off the field. At 35 years old, we will see what the future holds for the 2018 Super Bowl Winner and three-time Pro Bowler, Ertz. On the season, he had 50 catches for 504 yards and four touchdowns (72 targets) across 13 regular-season appearances. Second-year player out of Kansas State, Ben Sinnott, is likely to step into a larger role with Ertz being done for the season, and should be on the fantasy radar in deeper formats.

Tommy Tremble was irrelevant in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Carolina TE caught one pass for six yards, finishing with 1.6 PPR points. Outside of Week 11, Tremble has not registered more than 4.0 PPR points in a game since Week 7. The Panthers will face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17. The Seahawks ran 29th in Fantasy Points Per Game allowed to TEs this year. Even with a highly favorable matchup, Tremble is not close to consideration for fantasy championship lineups. Tremble has been targeted 4+ times in three games this season, and he has only one receiving TD.
