Commanders' Zach Ertz: Turns in vintage performance
Zach Ertz recorded 10 receptions on 13 targets for 106 yards in Sunday's 27-26 overtime loss to the Broncos.Ertz has enjoyed increased production with Marcus Mariota under center, and he led the Washington Commanders in both receptions and yards. In contrast to past weeks, he was used both deep down the field and in short areas, logging long receptions of 21 and 18 yards to help him top 100 receiving yards for the first time since Week 9 of the 2019 campaign. Ertz now has at least four receptions in five consecutive games. While he could be in for a downturn in opportunity moving forward due to the return of Terry McLaurin, Ertz was prioritized ahead of Deebo Samuel for targets in Sunday's loss.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Four grabs in loss to Miami
Zach Ertz caught four of eight targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 16-13 overtime loss to the Dolphins.The veteran tight end tied Deebo Samuel for the team lead in targets, but the wideout did a lot more (7-74-1) with his volume. Ertz was also the intended target on Marcus Mariota's only interception of the afternoon on the first play of OT, setting up Miami's winning field goal. Ertz will head into a Week 12 bye with a 39-387-4 line on 57 targets, and his role in the offense seems secure regardless of whether Mariota or Jayden Daniels (elbow) is under center in Week 13 against the Broncos.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Perfect on four targets
Zach Ertz recorded four receptions on four targets for 46 yards in Sunday's 38-14 loss to the Seahawks.Ertz remained one of Jayden Daniels' (arm) more reliable targets, as he led the team in yards while finishing second in targets and receptions. He logged a pair of receptions on Washington's first possession that went for 17 yards, and he also tallied a long 25-yard catch on the Washington Commanders' opening drive of the second half. Ertz's outlook moving forward is complicated by the likely absence of Daniels, as he has only nine receptions for 78 yards combined across Marcus Mariota's three starts this season.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Sub-20-yard effort in loss
Zach Ertz secured four of six targets for 16 yards in the Washington Commanders' 28-7 loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.Ertz's yardage total was his lowest for any game this season where he recorded a catch, even as he hit the six-target threshold for the third consecutive game. The veteran tight end's late first-quarter grab was also the subject of some controversy, as Ertz appeared to gain the necessary six yards for a first down on a fourth-down play before a virtual measurement reduced the gain to five yards, leading to a turnover on downs. Ertz has eclipsed 43 receiving yards just once this season, leaving him with muted fantasy prospects heading into a Week 9 home matchup against the Seahawks on Sunday night.
