The Washington Commanders will visit the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding TE Zach Ertz.
Is Zach Ertz Playing in Week 14?
Ertz is not on the injury report, and barring a surprise, he is expected to play.
We’ll continue to monitor the Commanders’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Ertz in Week 14?
Zach Ertz had his best game of the season on Sunday night, and it could have been even bigger if not for a great defensive play that dislodged him from the ball on a chunk play attempt late.
Marcus Mariota looked the way of the veteran tight end to pick up a critical fourth down on the final drive of regulation, and he looked good across the entirety of the game.
I don’t think we see another 10-catch game any time soon, but 4-6 is a reasonable projection and, more often than not, enough to justify playing him. In five games with Terry McLaurin active this year, Ertz has reached double-digit PPR points three times, something that I don’t think is an accident.
The first two such performances came with Jayden Daniels at the controls, so I’m comfortable with him as a backend TE1 in week 14, regardless of who starts at QB.
