The Washington Commanders will host the Denver Broncos in Week 13. 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 13?
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 13?
Zach Ertz has caught exactly four passes in four straight games, though to get there in Madrid against the Dolphins, it required a season high eight targets.
At best, the veteran tight end is a low-end floor play in deeper leagues, but in a game like this where Washington will have to fight to score 20 points, I’m not interested in a middling floor that comes with virtually no upside.
You can do better.
There are a few streaming options I prefer to Ertz playing on Thanksgiving and if those TEs aren’t available, Theo Johnson plays in the final game of the week and is ranked higher for me this week.
