ANALYSIS: Zach Ertz, tight end for the Washington Commanders, has emerged as a steady fantasy option, especially in PPR formats.
In the Week 8 win over the Chicago Bears, Ertz led the team with seven catches on 11 targets for 77 yards. This contest was his third straight game with double-digit PPR points, seeing at least five targets and four catches in each.

While his Week 9 matchup against the New York Giants may be challenging—the Giants allow the fewest fantasy points to tight ends—Ertz’s consistent involvement is hard to overlook.
Quarterback Jayden Daniels consistently looks to the veteran TE, particularly with the Commanders lacking a reliable WR2, making Ertz a trustworthy weapon. Even in tougher matchups, his role keeps him in the low-end TE1 conversation, and he remains a strong waiver pickup for teams needing stability at the position.
