Zach Ertz, Zach Ertz "Trending Toward Playing" In Week 16

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz (concussion) is expected to play in Sunday's NFC East clash with the Eagles. The veteran suffered a concussion in Week 15 against the Saints. As a result, he didn't practice on Wednesday. While Ertz logged limited sessions on Thursday and Friday, it wasn't enough to avoid a questionable tag. The 34-year-old found the end zone in each of the three games leading up to Week 15. But with a difficult matchup versus a tough Philadelphia defense on the agenda, Ertz will have his work cut out for him, assuming he is cleared to suit up. With that in mind, he deserves some consideration for most fantasy lineups, even more so for multi-tight end setups.

Ben Sinnott, Ben Sinnott Could See Season-High In Snaps In Week 16

Washington Commanders rookie tight end Ben Sinnott could be in line to see a season-high in snaps on Sunday when he faces the Philadelphia Eagles. Starting tight end Zach Ertz (concussion) is listed as questionable and was unable to practice all week which puts him in an uphill battle to turn the corner in time for kickoff. As a result, fantasy managers should expect John Bates to operate as the No.1 option, but the rookie could find himself in a significant role. Last weekend, when Ertz left the game early due to a concussion, Sinnott logged an impressive 40 offensive snaps which was almost double than his previous high. In this game he caught his lone target for seven yards. This was only his fifth reception of the campaign. While he should not be trusted in any formats this weekend he is worth paying attention to, especially in dynasty formats as he will likely be the future TE1 in the DMV in 2025.

Zane Gonzalez, Zane Gonzalez Risky Option In Week 16

Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez should be viewed as a risky K2 this weekend facing the Philadelphia Eagles. With Austin Seibert (groin) on the IR, Gonzalez has gone 3-for-5 on attempts and a perfect 10-for-10 on extra points in a relief role. In Week 15, Gonzalez could not play due to a foot injury but does not carry an injury designation into this weekend. Given that Philadelphia boasts one of the best defensive units in the league, the Commanders may need to rely on the kicker to do most of the damage, which could open the door for a solid showing. However, given his unstable 60.0% FG conversion rate this season, he is best to leave on the waiver wire.

John Bates, John Bates Set For Increased Role Facing Philadelphia

Washington Commanders tight end John Bates could be in store for an increased role, with Zach Ertz (concussion) listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Ertz suffered this concussion last weekend and could not practice all week, which suggests he will face an uphill battle to pass the league's protocol. When filling in for Ertz last weekend, Bates brought in his lone target for six yards. Earlier this season, Bates caught six of his nine targets for 64 yards and averaged a solid 10.7 yards per reception. However, given his lack of offensive production, even in a reserve role, makes him a high-risk TE2 facing the Eagles. Fantasy managers should look for an alternative option as Bates will have a tough task ahead of him in his first start as the Eagles have allowed the fifth-fewest PPR points to the position this season.

Olamide Zaccheaus, Olamide Zaccheaus Should Not Be Started In Week 16

Washington Commanders wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus should be expected to continue to operate as the No.3 wideout in Week 16 but should not be started in any formats facing the Philadelphia Eagles. Last weekend, Zaccheaus brought in three of his four targets for 36 yards. He also found the end zone, but the play was eventually called back due to an offensive penalty. Zaccheaus has typically been deployed as a depth option in the passing attack but has seen an uptick in opportunities with Noah Brown (kidney) on the injured reserve. He has shown upside at times in his limited role, averaging an impressive 10.0 yards per catch this season. However, facing one of the top secondaries in the sport that has allowed the fewest PPR points to opposing wideouts makes Zaccheaus a desperation option in deep PPR formats that should be avoided.
