The Washington Commanders will host the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 16. 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.

Should You Start or Sit Ertz in Week 16?
Zach Ertz tore his ACL in Week 14 and I would hate to see his career end in such fashion. Only time will tell on that front: in the scope of the Commanders for the remainder of the 2025 season, there’s not a tight end that you need to worry about in Ertz’s spot.
Ben Sinnott fans, calm down. I saw your dynasty prospect record a 36-yard catch over the weekend, but he was on the field for under 60% of the snaps and ran just 10 routes. If there was an organizational push to get him live reps as this season winds down, we would have seen much more of an effort on that front on Sunday.
