News: 11 hours agoErtz recorded 11 receptions on 16 targets for 104 yards in Sunday's 55-23 loss to the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.

Spin: Ertz was Jayden Daniels' favorite target throughout the game, allowing him to post the first 100-yard performance of his career in the postseason as well as his first overall since Week 9 of the 2019 season. He was particularly productive throughout the second half, tallying long gains of 21 and 16 yards. Ertz will enter the offseason as a free agent, though he had a resurgent season and will likely land a short-term deal in Washington or elsewhere around the league.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: 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.
