Week 10 Fantasy Football Update: Washington Commanders vs Detroit Lions
The Washington Commanders will host the Detroit Lions in Week 10, marking an important matchup for fantasy football owners. Fantasy players are advised to carefully consider their lineup decisions this week, particularly regarding tight end Zach Ertz.
Is Ertz Playing in Week 10?
Zach Ertz is not on the injury report and barring any unexpected developments, he is expected to suit up for the Commanders. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the Commanders’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes.
Should You Start or Sit Zach Ertz in Week 10?
Despite his recent struggles, with Zach Ertz being held to single-digit PPR points in five of his past seven games and no game reaching over 13 points this season, the outlook for him is not promising. The veteran tight end’s prospects dimmed further when Jayden Daniels was sidelined due to injury.
With Marcus Mariota set to be under center, Ertz faces a low ceiling in terms of volume. He has earned only two end zone targets on his 252 routes this season and the projections for scoring trips are expected to be scarce compared to last week. This makes him less appealing than players like Theo Riddick or Hunter Henry, who have access to more promising prospects under center.
