Should You Start or Sit Ertz in Week 10?
Zach Ertz has been held to single-digit PPR points in five of his past seven and hasn’t reached 13 in a game this season.
The veteran’s profile would be in trouble if his dynamic quarterback was still under center, but with Jayden Daniels out of the picture, I think you’re best served to stream the position.
It’s not that Marcus Mariota can’t function, it’s that I don’t see enough scoring equity for Ertz to offset what is a low ceiling in terms of volume. He’s earned two end zone targets on his 252 routes this season, and with scoring trips projecting to be more scarce now than they were last week, he doesn’t strike me as very different from a Theo Riddick or Hunter Henry type, both of whom have access to a more promising prospect under center.
