BALLER MOVE: Start in 10+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: TE1
ANALYSIS: Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz had his worst game last week, catching only two passes for 10 yards. However, he saw a season-high eight targets and ranks 11th among tight ends in target share (18.2%) through five weeks. As a result, he has sneaky TE1 potential this week against the Ravens.
I really enjoyed this from Zach Ertz on Jayden Daniels: "He’s got an unbelievable humility about him and an unbelievable confidence…That’s why guys love playing for him. He’s just one of the guys but at the same time he knows how good he really is." pic.twitter.com/cfjTHn5nsX

Baltimore has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points and second-most receiving yards (368) to opposing tight ends this season. The Ravens have also allowed a top-10 fantasy tight end in three of the past four weeks. Two of those tight ends -- Brock Bowers (Week 2) and Jake Ferguson (Week 3) -- totaled over 90 receiving yards against them.
So, Ertz is a solid play in most 10-plus team leagues in Week 6. The veteran has caught at least three passes in four of five weeks while finishing as a top-10 fantasy tight end in two of the last four games.
