Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz had a huge game in Week 13, recording 10 catches for 106 yards on 13 targets in an overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. Across 12 games this season, the 35-year-old has hauled in 49 catches for 493 yards and four touchdowns on 70 targets. It's worth noting that Commanders quarterback Marcus Mariota attempted 50 passes in Week 13, a level of pass volume that is highly unlikely to repeat in future weeks. However, Washington could be getting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) back as soon as Week 14, which would be a boost for Ertz. All four of Ertz's four touchdown receptions this season have come in the six games Daniels has been healthy for. The Commanders will face the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. In leagues where he is available on the waiver wire, Ertz could be a solid streaming option for fantasy managers to target at the tight end position.

Commanders' TE Zach Ertz had 10 receptions for 106 yards but no touchdowns in Sunday's loss against the Broncos.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz collected 10 catches for 106 yards versus the Denver Broncos in Week 13. Ertz was targeted 13 times.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz had a very good game on Sunday night, but he fell short of greatness for fantasy owners with a flat-out drop of a would-be touchdown in overtime. Washington ended up scoring on the next play, though, so Ertz won't be vilified for it. Despite the drop, Ertz has emerged as a legitimate top 10 option at tight end after injuries (LaPorta, Kraft) and underperformances (Hockenson, Njoku) have thinned the position.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz hauled in 10 catches for 106 yards on 14 targets in Sunday night's 27-26 overtime loss to the Denver Broncos. Ertz led Washington in catches and yards in a wild game that came down to the wire. The veteran's performance against the Broncos on Sunday night marked the second game with 10+ catches and 100+ receiving yards since joining the Commanders last year, with the other being the NFC Championship against his former team in the Philadelphia Eagles. Ertz has continued to be ultra productive in his age-35 season, totaling 39 receptions for 387 yards and four touchdowns on 57 targets in 11 games this season.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has recorded exactly four receptions in four games in a row and continues to be a solid contributor in his age-35 season. Since recording zero receptions in Week 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers for the first time in a game since 2014, Ertz has collected 25 receptions (36 targets) for 238 yards and two touchdowns. His 25 receptions are tied for the 12th most among tight ends during that span. The veteran hasn't found the end zone since Week 7 against the Dallas Cowboys, and remains a lower-ceiling fantasy option due to his lack of explosiveness, but he has a stable floor as a reliable option in Washington's passing attack. Ertz has a tough matchup in Week 13 against an elite Denver Broncos defense and ranks as RotoBaller's TE17 in PPR leagues.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (rest) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 26, getting the veteran's day of rest.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz should be able to practice Thursday and/or Friday, and he faces the Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football. The Broncos are middle of the road, in terms of fantasy points allowed to tight ends. He is a borderline low-end TE1 or top TE2 in most leagues for this matchup.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury), LB Von Miller (non-injury), LS Tyler Ott (illness), RB Chris Rodriguez Jr. (illness) and OT Laremy Tunsil (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 26. WR Noah Brown (groin, knee), WR Treylon Burks (finger), QB Jayden Daniels (elbow), WR Jaylin Lane (hip), LB Frankie Luvu (shoulder) and WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) were limited during practice. S Will Harris (ankle), DE Drake Jackson (knee), LB Ale Kaho (concussion) and TE Ben Sinnott (ankle) fully participated in practice.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz caught four passes for 42 yards against the Miami Dolphins in Week 11. He was targeted eight times during the game.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz has caught at least four passes in five of his last six games but has posted at least 50 yards in only one of those games. The Commanders have a Week 12 bye, but Ertz should see a handful of targets in Week 13 and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in most leagues.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has still been a useful player for fantasy leagues in his age-35 season, recording 35 catches for 345 yards and four touchdowns on 49 targets. Ertz has four catches in each of his past four games and made a few impressive contested grabs in Washington's Week 10 loss to the Lions. The veteran doesn't present much fantasy upside at this stage of his career, but he's always a threat to score a touchdown as Washington's offense has stayed relatively efficient with Marcus Mariota filling in for an injured Jayden Daniels (elbow). Ertz hasn't scored in the past three games, but gets an enticing matchup against the Miami Dolphins defense that has allowed the third most PPR points per game to opposing tight ends. Ertz ranks as RotoBaller's TE12 for Sunday's matchup in Madrid, Spain.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Nov. 12.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz has caught four passes in each of his last three games and is coming off one of his best performances of the season in Week 10. He will see a good amount of targets this week and can be a low-end No. 1 tight end in most leagues.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz caught four of his five targets for 54 yards in a 44-22 loss to the Detroit Lions in Week 10.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz had his second-highest receiving total of the year, and he has caught at least four passes in four of his last five games. Ertz doesn't have much of a ceiling, but he he does have a decent floor. Ertz is in the low-end TE1 conversation in PPR formats.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has had an underwhelming year in his 13th season in the league, catching 31 of his 44 targets for 291 yards and four touchdowns in nine games. Ertz has dropped more passes and had procedural penalties than you would expect from a veteran player, but it's been that kind of season for Washington. The 34-year-old tight end is still a capable threat in the red zone and on third downs, but he offers zero ability after the catch. Ertz has seen a slight drop off in production with Marcus Mariota as the starter compared to Jayden Daniels (elbow), who will miss an extended period of time. In Daniels' five starts, Ertz has recorded 22 catches for 216 yards and all four of his touchdowns on 30 targets, compared to nine catches, 75 yards, and no touchdowns on 13 targets in Mariota's three starts. Ertz is ranked as RotoBaller's TE14 in PPR leagues for Week 10 against the Lions.

Washington Commanders QB Jayden Daniels (elbow), TE Zach Ertz (rest), S Quan Martin (hamstring), WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), LB Von Miller (rest), S Tyler Owens (hamstring) and OT Laremy Tunsil (hamstring, rest) did not practice Wednesday, Nov. 5. CB Trey Amos (hip), RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt (tooth), DL Eddie Goldman (concussion), DT Jer'Zhan Newton (ankle) and TE Colson Yankoff (hamstring) were each limited, while LB Bobby Wagner (thumb) practiced in full.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz caught four passes for a team-high 46 yards in a 38-14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9.

Fantasy Spin: The 46 yards were Ertz's most since Week 2, and with Jayden Daniels suffering an injury, Ertz could be headed for a quiet stretch. He is a touchdown-dependent fantasy play at this point.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has seen six or more targets in three straight games since his no-catch performance in Week 5 against the Chargers. The veteran tight end continues to be a reliable threat in the red zone, leading the team with four receiving touchdowns. The 34-year-old will be happy to have second-year quarterback Jayden Daniels back as the starter, who he has been more productive with compared to backup Marcus Mariota. Ertz has uncharacteristically had multiple costly drops this season. The veteran has already totaled five drops in only eight games this season, more than he had all of last year and one off of his career high of six back in 2021. Ertz will likely see a solid target share with top wideout Terry McLaurin (quadriceps) out, and it's a decent matchup against a Seattle defense that has allowed 47 receptions to opposing tight ends, tied for seventh most. Ertz is ranked as RotoBaller's TE13 in PPR formats for Sunday Night Football.

From RotoBaller

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz has recorded 27 catches for 245 yards and four touchdowns on 40 targets across eight games so far this season. With Washington battling wide receiver injuries in recent weeks, Ertz has been targeted 19 times over his team's last three games. The Commanders briefly got healthy in their wide receiver room for Week 8, but star wideout Terry McLaurin (quad) re-injured his quad and will miss the team's Week 9 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks as a result. In addition to the reduced target competition, Ertz could get Commanders QB1 Jayden Daniels (hamstring) back from a hamstring injury that sidelined him in Week 8. All four of Ertz's touchdowns this season have come from Daniels. Ertz profiles as a low-end starting option at tight end for fantasy managers in Week 9.

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury), PK Matt Gay (back), WR Terry McLaurin (quadriceps), LB Von Miller (non-injury), DT Jer'Zhan Newton (ankle) and OT Laremy Tunsil (hamstring) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29. TE Colson Yankoff (hamstring) was limited during practice, while QB Jayden Daniels (hamstring), DT Javon Kinlaw (shoulder) and LB Bobby Wagner (thumb) fully participated in practice.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz (non-injury) did not participate in practice Wednesday, Oct. 29.

Fantasy Spin: Ertz still sees a good amount of targets each game but has been held to under 40 yards in five of his last six games. He does have two touchdowns in the last three games and will be a target in the red zone. He could be a possible low-end No. 1 tight end in deeper leagues.

From TheHuddle

Washington Commanders TE Zach Ertz had four catches (on six targets) for 16 yards in Week 8 versus the Kansas City Chiefs.

Fantasy Spin: It was a disappointing night for Ertz, who came up inches short of a first down to kill an early drive and then dropped a hot route where it looked like he had room to roam later on. The veteran has only topped 50 yards in a game once this season, but his four outings with a touchdown allow him to remain a possible matchup play for anyone in need of a streaming option.
