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.
