WAS TE Zach Ertz - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs Atlanta Falcons

Zach Ertz has gone off the boil as the season draws to a close, with three catches for 37 yards combined over his last two games. He did only play 23% of the snaps in one of those games, it should be noted. Before the Commanders' bye week in Week 14, Ertz posted double-digit points in Half-PPR formats five times in a seven-game stretch. His matchup this week is not great, with the Falcons ranking sixth in aFPA to tight ends. But if Ertz can draw a few more targets and return to the end zone, he could outkick his current mid-tier TE2 projection.

WAS TE Zach Ertz - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 at New Orleans Saints

Zach Ertz has at least 30 receiving yards in nine games this season but has topped out at 47 over his last five. He’s second on the team in targets though and with Noah Brown missing he should see something like his usual dose of targets against the Saints. The Saints haven’t been too bad against tight ends in 2024, ranking 12th in aFPA for the position. Ertz’s opportunities should be sufficient for him to perform at a TE1 level.

WAS TE Zach Ertz - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs Tennessee Titans

Zach Ertz has been a consistent, though mostly unexciting, performer for the Commanders this season. He’s the TE13 in Half PPR points per game and has averaged 8.7 points per game over his last four. He should be able to continue pumping out points at that level this week, given his solid weekly workload and the Titans ranked 15th in aFPA to tight ends. Expect a high-end TE2 week from the wily veteran.

WAS TE Zach Ertz - Week 12 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs Dallas Cowboys

Zach Ertz has been solid and reliable, if not particularly exciting, in 2024, and over the last four weeks has averaged a respectable 8.3 Half-PPR points per game. He’s the TE15 for the season in points per game. He doesn’t have a great matchup against the Cowboys, who rank eighth in aFPA to tight ends this season. But he has a safe weekly floor, and with six teams on a bye this week it’s not too much of a stretch to project low-end TE1 numbers from the veteran.

WAS TE Zach Ertz - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 at Philadelphia Eagles

Zach Ertz ranks second all-time for the Eagles in receptions and fourth in receiving yards, a testament to his time as the focal point of the Eagles' passing game. Those days are in the past and while Ertz has been a steady performer in 2024, sitting at TE20 in Half-PPR points per game, this is about as high as we can expect him to be when all is said and done in Week 11. The Eagles rank first in aFPA to tight ends this season, which leads to our projecting Ertz as a low-end TE2 option this week.

WAS TE Zach Ertz - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs Pittsburgh Steelers

Zach Ertz was quiet last week, which was unwelcome but not entirely unexpected. Ertz hasn't exactly been loud this season, with 6.6 Half-PPR points per game at the TE18 spot, but he has offered something of a safe floor. He should be able to return to his floor levels against a Steelers team that hasn't been at it's best against tight ends, as evidenced by their ranking of 22nd in aFPA to the position. Still, it's hard to expect more than mid-tier TE2 numbers for Ertz this week.

WAS TE Zach Ertz - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs Chicago Bears

Zach Ertz continues to do just enough to be fantasy relevant in 2024, averaging 6.8 Half-PPR points per game. He was the TE9 a week ago and sits at TE14 in points per game. The Bears, the Commanders opponents in Week 8, rank 19th in aPFA to tight ends this season. But whether Ertz can recreate his role as Jayden Daniel’s safety valve to that of Marcus Mariota’s is the big question. Ertz should be treated as a low-end TE2 in Week 8.
