2024 Season Outlooks

Ertz is nearing the end of an incredible career that at its peak featured WR1 type numbers (116 receptions for 1,163 yards and eight TDs in 2018). He played just seven games in 2023 before hitting injured reserve and eventually being released by the Cardinals, and he set career lows in targets, receptions and yardage as Trey McBride blossomed in the Cardinals offense. Ertz latched on with the Commanders in the offseason, and he'll battle for lead tight end duties while mentoring second-round pick Ben Sinnott. Ertz is not worth rostering in any format unless he can prove to be a key part of the Washington offense and that he can stay healthy.

Ertz signed a one-year contract with the Commanders, rejoining forces with former Cardinals coach Kliff Kingsbury, now Washington's offensive coordinator. Ertz, 33, is no longer the player he used to be with the Eagles, succumbing to age and a serious knee injury in recent seasons. However, Ertz was pacing to exceed 50 catches for last season's Cardinals before his November release, and he was in line to replace the departed Logan Thomas before the Commanders drafted Ben Sinnott in the second round. There is mild target opportunity for Washington's tight ends, but Sinnott is the future for the franchise at tight end.
