Three-time Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz has signed a one-year deal worth $6.25 million with the Washington Commanders, with a maximum potential value of $9 million. This comes on the heels of a strong showing last season, where he surpassed 60 receptions for the first time since 2021. While Ertz's role in an improving offense suggests opportunities ahead, expectations should be tempered, positioning him more as a TE2 option in fantasy football rather than a TE1.

Additionally, the ongoing movement of players around the league could affect roster dynamics. The Las Vegas Raiders recently traded for Geno Smith, a move indicating their desire for a stable quarterback presence as they prepare for future seasons. Meanwhile, the Seattle Seahawks are facing uncertainty with DK Metcalf requesting a trade, solidifying his status as a significant asset for potential suitors looking to enhance their receiving corps.
