Zach Ertz
TE - Washington Commanders
Availability
Ertz is the TE12 in fantasy points per game, ranking sixth among tight ends in red zone targets. He has finished as a TE1 in 55% of his games this season. Ertz has an 18.1% target share, 1.54 YPRR, and an 18.2% first-read share. Among 43 qualifying tight ends, Ertz ranks third in separation and second in route win rate. It has been an impressive season for the veteran. He should flirt with TE1 value again this week against a Dallas defense that has allowed the highest yards per reception and the 13th-most fantasy points per game to tight ends.
