Ertz secured six of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown and added a two-point conversion catch in the Commanders' 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night. Ertz finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Austin Ekeler for the Commanders on the night. He was also on the receiving end of Jayden Daniels' only touchdown pass, a five-yard scoring grab with 28 seconds remaining that capped off a 15-play, 70-yard march. Ertz followed it up with an impressively difficult two-point conversion catch where he just managed to get two feet inbounds as he fell out of the back of the end zone, and he's now recorded at least four catches in five of his last six games. The steady veteran tight end figures to remain a key target for Daniels during a Week 12 home matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Ertz recorded four receptions on eight targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers. It was a mixed day for Ertz, who saw his involvement in the offense return after he earned only one target in Week 9. He led the team in opportunities Sunday, though that translated to an uninspiring yardage total, with Ertz's longest gain going for only nine yards. Ertz should continue to play a role in the offense, but the explosive elements will be left primarily to Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown.

Ertz caught his only target for five yards in a 27-22 win over the Giants on Sunday. Ertz finished the game with season-low 47.0 percent snap share, mostly because he took just two of 19 snaps in the fourth quarter while the Commanders leaned heavily on their running game. He previously had at least three targets in every game this year, including five or more targets each of the past four weeks. There's a good chance Ertz's volume rebounds Week 10 against a tough Pittsburgh defense.

Ertz is hot coming into Week 9 against the Giants with at least 14 PPR points in each of his past two games against Carolina and Chicago. He has 11 catches for 117 yards and a touchdown over that span on 16 targets, and it's nice to see him producing at a high level. But Ertz actually has a tough matchup in Week 9 since the Giants are No. 4 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. No tight end has scored a touchdown against the Giants, and only Ertz in Week 2 (10.2 PPR points) and Jake Ferguson in Week 4 (11.9 PPR points) have been productive against this defense. Ertz is only worth starting in deeper leagues in Week 9.

Ertz recorded seven receptions on 11 targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears. Ertz had his most productive day of the season by any measure, as he was the favorite target of Jayden Daniels. His statistical output was still modest, though five of his seven receptions went for double-digit yardage. This performance will likely be an anomaly, but Ertz does have at least five targets in four straight contests.
