BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: Low-End TE1/High-End TE2
ANALYSIS: In Week 8 against the Bears, Zach Ertz's 11 targets were a season-high, as he brought in seven catches for 77 yards. With Jayden Daniels at quarterback, Ertz has been a steady contributor, posting double-digit fantasy points in PPR formats over his last three games.
The veteran has seen at least five targets in four consecutive outings, making him a reliable floor play each week. He is currently TE9 in PPR leagues, showing no signs of slowing down and staying active as a top target in the Washington Commanders offense.
Jayden Daniels' first throw of the game is a completion to Zach Ertz.

The Commanders have found a rhythm, and Ertz has solidified himself as the second option in the passing game. Although he missed practice Wednesday, it was just a rest day -- no injury concerns here.
While you may not get explosive numbers from the tight end, he offers consistent production. This week, he faces off with the New York Giants. The Giants have been good against tight ends, but Ertz's experience makes him a favorable choice. Fire him up confidently if you are looking for steady points in your lineup.
