Week 6 of the 2025 NFL season is already upon us and the action will wrap up with a Monday night doubleheader. The second matchup will feature the Chicago Bears visiting the Washington Commanders at 8:15 p.m. ET on ABC.<\/p>\n

With Jayden Daniels returning from a knee sprain last week, the Commanders were able to get back on track by racing past the Chargers in a 27-10 victory. Despite the win, tight end Zach Ertz was a ghost and we\u2019ll see if he can contribute in this primetime showdown at home.<\/p>\n

Below, we\u2019ll go over Ertz\u2019s outlook in fantasy football for Week 6.<\/p>\n

Fantasy Football analysis: Commanders TE Zach Ertz<\/p>\n

Ertz didn\u2019t catch a single pass and had just one target in last Sunday\u2019s victory over the Chargers. He was on the field for 53% of the Commanders\u2019 offensive snaps<\/a>, so he just simply wasn\u2019t much of an option for Daniels in the road win. After a promising first two weeks of the season, the veteran has reeled in just five catches for 59 yards over the last three games and even with Daniels\u2019 injury playing a factor, his lack of involvement should be a concern for fantasy managers. We\u2019ll see if he experiences an uptick in targets against the Bears.<\/p>\n

Start or sit in Week 6 Standard leagues?<\/p>\n

Sit. Ertz already occupied the role of a borderline starter in deeper leagues and unless you have no other viable options, I\u2019d keep him on the bench and start a tight end with higher upside this week.<\/p>\n
