Ertz caught three of six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-19 win over the Titans.
Ertz extended Washington's lead to 35-13 with a four-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. He has scored in three consecutive games after recording only one touchdown through 10 games with the Commanders. Ertz will look to extend his touchdown streak in Week 15 against the Saints after a Week 14 bye.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Sleeper TEs
Rotowire
Ertz is on fire heading into Week 13 against Tennessee, and he should be started with confidence in all leagues. He scored at least 14 PPR points in four of his past six games, including two in a row against Philadelphia and Dallas, and he has at least seven targets in three consecutive outings. The Titans have allowed four tight ends to score at least 8.0 PPR points in their past five games, with three touchdowns over that span, and Ertz might get a few more targets with Austin Ekeler (concussion) out. Ertz should be considered a No. 1 Fantasy tight end in all leagues.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Six catches, TD in loss
Rotowire
Ertz brought in six of eight targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' 34-26 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Ertz finished the game tied with Noah Brown for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to his teammate in targets. The veteran tight end also found the end zone for the second straight game on a four-yard touchdown grab with just over three minutes remaining. Ertz has been a steady contributor throughout his first season in Washington, and he has at least seven targets in four of the last five games, including three straight, heading into a Week 13 home matchup against the Titans.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Another solid showing in loss
Rotowire
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.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Leads Commanders in targets
Rotowire
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
Rotowire
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.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
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.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Favorite target for Daniels
Rotowire
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.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: First TD of season
Rotowire
Ertz recorded four receptions on five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.
Ertz finished third on the team in targets and served as a reliable short-area target for Marcus Mariota. His longest catch of the game went for 15 yards early in the third quarter, though his biggest moment came on a 12-yard touchdown catch just before halftime to set off the blowout victory. Ertz isn't likely to post spectacular stat lines moving forward, but he does have at least four targets in all but one game this season.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Week 7 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Ertz has 13 targets in his past two games, and he has two games this season with at least 10.2 PPR points. He should continue to be a go-to option for Jayden Daniels, and Ertz is worth using as a sleeper in Week 7 against Carolina since the Panthers are No. 8 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing tight ends. You should add Ertz for up to 5 percent of your remaining FAB.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Leading receiver in loss
Rotowire
Ertz caught four of five targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.
The veteran tight end led the 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.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Two grabs against Cleveland
Rotowire
Ertz caught two of eight targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Browns.
Despite handling a season-low 57 percent offensive snap share Week 5, Ertz led all Washington tight ends in playing time while also recording a season-high target total. The veteran wasn't able to take advantage of his increased opportunities Sunday, as he was able to reel in just two passes in the contest, his lowest reception total in a game this season. Even with the Commanders leading the NFL in scoring (31.0 points per game) through five weeks, Ertz remains a low-ceiling fantasy option in an offense that has skewed run-heavy.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Three receptions in win
Rotowire
Ertz hauled in all three of his targets for 22 receiving yards in Sunday's 42-14 win over the Cardinals.
Ertz was one of nine Commanders pass catchers to record a reception in the blowout win with quarterback Jayden Daniels spreading the ball around liberally. Though he's held steady at snap shares ranging between 65 and 70 percent through each of the Commanders' first four contests, Ertz has yet to score a touchdown and hasn't drawn more than five targets on any occasion. He was withheld from the Commanders' first Week 5 practice Wednesday due to rest purposes, but he should be ready to go for this Sunday's game against the Browns.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Sleeper TEs

Gesicki remained relevant in Week 3 against Washington despite Tee Higgins making his 2024 debut with four catches for 47 yards on five targets. This week, he's facing a Carolina defense that is the only team to allow multiple touchdowns to tight ends this year. Gesicki should be considered a low-end starting option in all leagues.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Sleepers (Start/Sit)
Rotowire
Ertz has scored at least 8.8 PPR points in two games in a row, and hopefully he continues to be a factor for Jayden Daniels. In his past two games, Ertz has nine catches for 100 yards on nine targets. Ertz is a good streaming tight end in PPR for Week 4 at Arizona in a revenge game.

Ertz secured all five targets for 38 yards in the Commanders' 38-33 win over the Bengals on Monday night. He also committed a fumble recovered by Washington.
Ertz recorded a team-high number of receptions but was utilized primarily as a short-area target. The veteran tight end, who's posted a 12-128-0 line on 13 targets through three games, will next take aim at his old Cardinals teammates in a Week 4 road battle in the desert.

Commanders' Zach Ertz: Week 3 Waiver Priority List
Rotowire
Ertz has four targets in each of his first two games, but he did better with his opportunities in Week 2 against the Giants with four catches for 62 yards. In Week 1 at Tampa Bay, Ertz had three catches for 28 yards. He can be a low-end starter in PPR leagues, and Ertz is worth a flier heading into Week 3 at Cincinnati for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.
