Zach Ertz Week 6 Outlook - Bears at Commanders

By Derek Brown (FantasyPros), Thu, Oct 9th 2025, 1:35pm EDT

Last week, on my first pass through the data and looking at the matchup for Zach Ertz, I thought he was going to smash, but when I looked at the coverage data further for the Bolts, I realized I was wrong and pivoted with last Friday's update. I hope you checked back into the Primer on Friday and read my update because I was fading Ertz, and that move was correct, as he had only one target and zero fantasy points. This is the week to go back to Ertz with the Bears' coverage usage. They have the second-highest two high usage in the NFL (62.6%). They have utilized two high at least 56.5% of their defensive snaps weekly. This season against two high, Ertz has a 20.8% target share, 2.26 yards per route run, and a 32.3% first-read share. The Bears are a neutral matchup for Ertz, ranking 17th in fantasy points per game and 20th in schedule-adjusted fantasy points per game allowed to tight ends.
