Commanders' TE Joins Elite Company Zach Ertz delivered key milestone performance in Washington Commanders 42-19 rout of Tennessee Titans.
Extends TD streak to three Ertz caught three of six targets for 35 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 42-19 win over the Titans.
Impact Ertz extended Washington's lead to 35-13 with a four-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. He has scored in three consecutive games after recording only one touchdown through 10 games with the Commanders. Ertz will look to extend his touchdown streak in Week 15 against the Saints after a Week 14 bye.

Six catches, TD in loss Ertz brought in six of eight targets for 38 yards and a touchdown in the Commanders' 34-26 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.
Impact Ertz finished the game tied with Noah Brown for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to his teammate in targets. The veteran tight end also found the end zone for the second straight week on a four-yard touchdown grab with just over three minutes remaining. Ertz has been a steady contributor throughout his first season in Washington and has at least seven targets in four of the last five games, including three straight, heading into a Week 13 home matchup against the Titans.

Another solid showing in loss Ertz secured six of seven targets for 47 yards and a touchdown and added a two-point conversion catch in the Commanders' 26-18 loss to the Eagles on Thursday night.
Impact Ertz finished second across the board in receptions, receiving yards and targets to Austin Ekeler for the Commanders on the night. The veteran tight end was also on the receiving end of Jayden Daniels' only touchdown pass of the night, a five-yard scoring grab with 28 seconds remaining that capped off a 15-play, 70-yard march. Ertz followed it up with an impressively difficult two-point conversion catch where he just managed to get two feet inbounds as he fell out of the back of the end zone, and he now has five tallies of at least four catches in five of his last six games. The steady veteran figures to remain a key target for Daniels during a Week 12 home matchup against the Cowboys on Sunday, Nov. 24.

Leads Commanders in targets Ertz recorded four receptions on eight targets for 31 yards in Sunday's 28-27 loss to the Steelers.
Impact It was a mixed day for Ertz, who saw his involvement in the offense return after he earned only one target in Week 9. He led the team in opportunities Sunday, though that translated to an uninspiring yardage total, with Ertz's longest gain going for only nine yards. Ertz should continue to play a role in the offense, but the explosive elements will be left primarily to Terry McLaurin and Noah Brown.

Jayden Daniels has not thought much about his rookie yearNOVEMBER 6 • ASSOCIATED PRESS
Targeted just once Ertz caught his only target for five yards in a 27-22 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Impact Ertz finished the game with season-low 47 percent snap share, mostly because he took just two of 19 snaps in the fourth quarter while the Commanders leaned heavily on their running game. He previously had at least three targets in every game this year, including five or more targets each of the past four weeks. There's a good chance Ertz's volume rebounds Week 10 against a tough Pittsburgh defense.

Favorite target for Daniels Ertz recorded seven receptions on 11 targets for 77 yards in Sunday's 18-15 win over the Bears.
Impact Ertz had his most productive day of the season by any measure, as he was the favorite target of Jayden Daniels. His statistical output was still modest, though five of his seven receptions went for double-digit yardage. This performance will likely be an anomaly, but Ertz does have at least five targets in four straight contests.

First TD of season Ertz recorded four receptions on five targets for 40 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 40-7 win over the Panthers.
Impact Ertz finished third on the team in targets and served as a reliable short-area target for Marcus Mariota. His longest catch of the game went for 15 yards early in the third quarter, though his biggest moment came on a 12-yard touchdown catch just before halftime to set off the blowout victory. Ertz isn't likely to post spectacular stat lines moving forward, but he does have at least four targets in all but one game this season.

Leading receiver in loss Ertz caught four of five targets for 68 yards in Sunday's 30-23 loss to the Ravens.
Impact The veteran tight end led the Commanders in receiving yards on the day while setting a new season high in the category. Ertz has caught multiple passes in six straight games to begin his Washington tenure, but he has yet to find the end zone and has topped 38 yards only twice, giving him a limited ceiling. Ertz will again provide rookie QB Jayden Daniels with a reliable possession option in Week 7 against the Panthers.

Two grabs against Cleveland Ertz caught two of eight targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 34-13 win over the Browns.
Impact Despite handling a season-low 57 percent offensive snap share Week 5, Ertz led all Washington tight ends in playing time while also recording a season-high target total. The veteran wasn't able to take advantage of his increased opportunities Sunday, as he was able to reel in just two passes in the contest, his lowest reception total in a game this season. Even with the Commanders leading the NFL in scoring (31.0 points per game) through five weeks, Ertz remains a low-ceiling fantasy option in an offense that has skewed run-heavy.

The veteran wasn't able to take advantage of his increased opportunities Sunday, as he was able to reel in just two passes in the contest, his lowest reception total in a game this season. Ertz will look to bounce back and hopefully find the end zone for the first time this season when the Commanders visit the Ravens in Week 6.
