Commanders' Zach Ertz: Another solid showing in loss
Zach Ertz secured six of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown and added a two-point conversion catch in the Washington 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.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Leads Commanders in targets
Zach 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.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Targeted just once
Zach 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 Washington 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.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Leading receiver in loss
Zach Ertz caught four of five targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.The veteran tight end led the Washington Commanders in receiving yards on the day while setting a new season high in the category. Ertz has caught multiple passes in six straight games to begin his Washington tenure, but he has yet to find the end zone and has topped 38 yards only twice, giving him a limited ceiling. Ertz will again provide rookie QB Jayden Daniels with a reliable possession option in Week 7 against the Panthers.
