Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz ended up with two receptions for 10 yards despite a game-high tying eight targets in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns.

Fantasy Spin: Rookie QB Jayden Daniels looked for Ertz early and often, but they were unable to get on the same page. The catch total and yardage total were both season lows. He has been a decent TE2 in most leagues of 12 or more teams. He'll look to bounce back in Week 6 in Baltimore.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz tied for a team-high eight targets today but could only bring in two for a mere 10 yards. This was his lowest output of the campaign regarding receptions and yards. The Commanders had a sizeable lead through most of the afternoon, keeping the ball on the ground and limiting Ertz's production. However, it was promising to see Ertz get several looks from his QB. The veteran remains a high-end TE2 heading into their Week 6 tilt with the Baltimore Ravens.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz tallied a season-low 22 yards in their Week 4 victory over the Arizona Cardinals but remains a solid low-end TE1 this weekend. Throughout the early part of the season, the veteran tight end has seen at least three targets in every game and averaged 7.5 PPR points. He caught a season-high 62 yards in Week 2, and a season-high five catches the following week. Rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels continues to improve as a passer every week, and all Washington pass catchers should eventually benefit from this. With several top options at the position on their byes (Dallas Goedert and Sam LaPorta) this week, Ertz is worth a look as he could see an uptick in opportunities with Noah Brown (groin) ruled out.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 2.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz has caught 15 of his 16 targets this season but has been held to under 40 yards in three of his four games. He should see a few targets in Week 5 but probably is only a No. 2 tight end in most fantasy leagues.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz caught all three of his targets for 22 yards in a 42-14 win over the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz has a steady role in the offense, but he is limited to short, underneath routes. Despite his lack of upside, the tight end position is thin enough to give Ertz some streaming potential as bye weeks begin.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz had a quiet day on Sunday afternoon even though the Commanders scored 42 points. The veteran tight end finished the day with just three catches (on three targets) for 22 yards. He also caught a two-point conversion late in the game. Ertz finished fourth on the team in receiving yards behind Terry McLaurin, Olamide Zaccheaus, and Noah Brown. This was also his lowest yard total of the season. Fantasy managers should not be overly concerned with Ertz as the Washington offense continued to move down the field all afternoon. The 33-year-old remains a low-end TE1 going forward, as he should still see stable production given that he will be on the field for most of the snaps despite this underwhelming Week 4 output.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz remains a solid TE1 heading into Week 4. Ertz has seen his reception count increase weekly this season, as he finished Week 3 with a new ' high of five. He has seen at least four targets every week and averaged 42.7 receiving yards. While the Commanders have lacked a proven No.2 wideout, the veteran tight end has filled that void, at least temporarily. Fantasy managers should expect Ertz to continue to serve as a reliable option in the middle of the field for Jayden Daniels. This week, he has a favorable matchup against a weak Arizona defense, making him a safe floor play with solid upside in all formats.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 25.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz has caught 12 of his 13 targets this season but has posted over 40 yards in only one of the three games. He should see a handful of targets against the Arizona Cardinals but probably can be avoided in most leagues.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz ended up with five catches for 38 yards on five targets in Week 3 against the Cincinnati Bengals.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz is a shell of his former self, but he can still manage to get free and make catches. He isn't a TE1 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams any longer, but he is still solidly a TE2 in most formats. The Commanders travel to meet the Arizona Cardinals in Week 4.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz led the team with five receptions in their victory over the Cincinnati Bengals on Monday night. The veteran tight end was given many looks during crunch time and was Jayden Daniel's safety net in the middle of the field. The 33-year-old has emerged as the No.2 pass-catcher in the first three weeks in this offense and has seen at least four targets in every game. Ertz should be viewed as a safe low-end TE1 going forward as he has built a strong connection with his rookie QB and should always be in line for consistent targets given the uncertainty at wide receiver behind Terry McLaurin. Ertz should be a priority waiver-add if you need a tight end and should be started in all standard formats next week in Arizona.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz led the Commanders with 62 yards (on four receptions) in their victory over the New York Giants last week. Ertz served as a go-to option for the rookie QB all afternoon and looks to reclaim that same role against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Commanders lack a proven No.2 pass catcher, allowing running back Austin Ekeler and Ertz to have productive fantasy games. Fantasy managers should expect Ertz to see a solid workload in a game where the Commanders will likely be trailing, as they are currently 7.5-point underdogs. Ertz may not have a lot of upside, but he does provide a safe floor at a position that is filled with several injuries to top options like George Kittle (hamstring), Evan Engram (hamstring), and David Njoku (ankle).

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 19.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz was productive in Week 2 and has been targeted four times in each of the first two games of the season. He likely will receive a similar workload in Week 3 but is only a No. 2 tight end at this time.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz registered four receptions for a team-high 62 yards on four targets in Week 2 against the New York Giants.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz was productive like the old days in Philadelphia, but he still has a ways to go before he is a regular TE1 again. For now, he remains a TE2, and a streaming option for when your primary option has an injury or a bye.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz led the team in receiving with 62 yards on four catches in their Week 2 victory over the New York Giants. This was an excellent bounce-back effort for the veteran tight end, as he caught only three passes for 28 yards in his Washington debut. Ertz was not used as a check-down option but instead was used in a vertical capacity, as he averaged 15.5 yards per catch with a high of 21 yards. This was a promising effort for the veteran as he continues to emerge as the No.2 pass-catching option in the Commanders air attack. The 33-year-old could be worth a look as a stash option going forward, given his role on the offense and safe floor he could produce weekly.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz caught three of his four targets for 28 yards in their Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Despite the modest output, Ertz saw 24.0% of the team's air yards and 16.7% of the team's targets. In addition, the veteran logged 39 total snaps, just under 70% of the team's total snaps. As rookie QB Jayden Daniels continues to develop at the professional level, the 33-year-old should continue to establish a connection with him and serve as a safety valve in the middle of the field. For now, Ertz should just be deployed in DFS settings as a cheap value play, as he has not yet proven that he should be relied upon in a redraft setting.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Sept. 11.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz posted only 28 yards in Week 1 but was targeted four times during the game. He should receive a similar workload this week but probably should only be considered a No. 2 fantasy tight end.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz caught three passes for 28 yards in their Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Ertz tied a team-high with four targets Sunday afternoon. In his regular-season debut, rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels struggled to find consistency in the passing game, which affected Ertz's fantasy output. Ertz was typically found in short range in the middle of the field as a safety valve. As Daniels gets accustomed to the professional level, Ertz should continue to see an uptick in targets. However, rookie tight end Ben Sinnott did not see a target on Sunday, solidifying Ertz's starting role in the offense. Fantasy managers looking for another value play in DFS next weekend should consider selecting Ertz, as he will face a New York Giants defense that allowed 42 yards to the Minnesota tight ends in Week 1.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz could see a hefty amount of targets his way in the season opener, making him a high-end TE2 in all leagues. With many questions surrounding the No.2 receiver in Washington, Ertz could fill that role in the short term. Last season, the veteran appeared in just seven games before suffering a season-ending quadriceps injury. During this span, Ertz averaged a mere 7.4 PPR points but was targeted on 23.2% of his routes. Through his first taste of the regular season, rookie Jayden Daniels may lock on to Ertz in the middle of the field instead of pushing the ball outside. However, if the 33-year-old cannot perform, he may soon be replaced by rookie Ben Sinnott, who the Commanders selected in the second round of this year's draft. Facing the Buccaneers, who allowed the third-most fantasy points to tight ends last season, Ertz might be a sneaky play in DFS formats and a high-end TE2 in deeper leagues.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz is listed as the team's starting tight end on the depth chart entering Week 1 of the regular season this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Behind Ertz, the Commanders have listed John Bates as the No. 2 and rookie Ben Sinnott as the No. 3. It confirms the idea that Sinnott is merely a dynasty/keeper stash in 2024. The 33-year-old Ertz is no longer the fantasy stud he was in his time with the Philadelphia Eagles, but he'll enter the regular season as Washington's top pass-catching tight end on a team that lacks experienced receiving depth for rookie quarterback Jayden Daniels. Ertz miss most of last year with a quadriceps injury with the Arizona Cardinals, but he could be a sneaky TE2 rebound candidate if he stays healthy this year in Kliff Kingsbury's offense. At best, Ertz could be peppered with targets as a security blanket for Daniels.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz was not seen at practice and won't be available for the upcoming preseason matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy managers don't need to worry as his absence isn't injury related. Head coach Dan Quinn confirmed that Ertz is fine and is away from the team for personal reasons. Quinn hinted that the Ertz family is expecting a baby, so if that's true then congratulations to them. In his place, Ben Sinnott and John Bates figure to split up a majority of the snaps at tight end on Saturday. Neither player is on the fantasy radar heading into draft season.
