Should You Start or Sit Zach Ertz in Week 7?
Coming off a thrilling two-week stretch that saw him average under a half-a-yard per route run, Ertz hauled in all six of his targets on Monday night against the Bears and finished with 16.3 PPR points.
You know what you’re doing here: chasing a touchdown. Your confidence in the veteran tight end has less to do with him and more with your point projection for the Commanders. In a week like this where 30 points is very much on the table, Ertz slides in as a back-end TE1, understanding that the floor is a goose egg, just like it is for the six-or-so tight ends that he shares this tier with.
For the season, 41% of his fantasy production this season has come from his touchdown receptions. He’ll be a top 12 option if he scores and not a top 20 guy if he doesn’t.
