Who Should I Start? Zach Ertz or Zach Wilson

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz hauled in six of eight targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in his team's Week 2 loss to the Green Bay Packers. The 34-year-old now has nine catches on 13 targets for 90 yards and two scores across his first two games of the season. Dating back to Week 11 of 2024, Ertz has caught eight touchdown passes in his last nine regular-season games, establishing himself as a favorite end-zone target of Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels. The veteran tight end lacks big-play ability, but he's a fairly consistent target-earner and should have a chance to score most weeks while playing with Daniels. Ertz is worth adding in fantasy leagues where he's available as a low-end TE1/high-end TE2.

Miami Dolphins quarterback Zach Wilson came into Saturday's game against the Jaguars in the second quarter after Tua Tagovailoa stepped aside. He played ahead of rookie Quinn Ewers and put together solid numbers. Wilson completed nine of his 13 pass attempts for 80 yards, and he converted a big fourth-and-16 play that set up the Dolphins' second score of the day in their 14-6 victory over Jacksonville. Wilson finished the preseason with 327 passing yards and a 64.4% completion rate in three games, along with a passing touchdown and 19 rushing yards. Wilson played ahead of rookie Quinn Ewers, who has had a solid preseason. Ewers completed seven of his eight passes for 66 yards but did not lead a scoring drive. As the season starts, Wilson seems to have a firm grasp on the primary backup role behind Tua, but Ewers could figure in the mix further down the road.
