Zach Ertz
2025 Season Outlooks
Father Time hasn't hit yet for Ertz, who finished with just under 10 Fantasy points per game -- good for ninth-most at TE. Ertz finished in the top 10 at the position despite seeing just 5.4 targets per game (13th). That target volume could come down in 2025 after the Commanders added Deebo Samuel to take short-area and middle-of-the-field targets away. Also, the Commanders spent a Day 2 pick on tight end Ben Sinnott in 2024 -- his role could expand in 2025. Ertz is worth drafting in the final rounds of your draft with hopes he can return to back-end TE1 status, but there are higher-upside options at the position.
Ertz returns to Washington for his 13th NFL season after a very successful debut campaign with the team. One season after being waived by Arizona and failing to find his way to another 53-man roster, Ertz won the Commanders' starting TE gig and ended up in the top 12 at the position in routes, targets, catches, yards, TDs and fantasy points. His 10 end zone targets ranked second at the position. Ertz is now 34 years old and has added competition for targets with Deebo Samuel Sr. in town and Ben Sinnott entering Year 2, so a step back in production is probable, but he'll continue to benefit from playing a role in a Jayden Daniels-led offense. Ertz is best viewed as a low-ceiling TE2.
