BALLER MOVE: Start in full-PPR
POSITIONAL VALUE: Borderline TE1
ANALYSIS: Few things are inevitable in life. Hardship, turmoil, and Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz somehow being fantasy-relevant for yet another season. He's been a surprise in this offense and is currently the TE14. He'd be higher were it not for a weird game in Week 5, where he caught only two passes.
Think this was Daniels best throw of the game. Big criticisms of Daniels during the draft process were his ability to throw under pressure and his ability to hit tight windows over the middle. Does both on this play. Great anticipation to hit Ertz behind zone LB. pic.twitter.com/UP5G1WClY6

He has an excellent quarterback and is on a team with an outstanding passing attack, and he's averaging 4.8 targets per game. He also has two games of double-digit fantasy points, which is pretty good for a tight end. He should continue to earn a modest target volume, giving him a decent floor in PPR scoring formats.
There are better options with more touchdown upside for standard leagues, but Ertz is a safe start in full-PPR leagues. He should be fired up unless you have a clear, better option.

The wide receiver position has an advantage over the running back position in PPR scoring formats, typically.

Not every WR is like this, though, […]
