Washington Commanders DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Washington Commanders kicker Zane Gonzalez has been signed to the active roster on Monday. Gonzalez has been elevated three of the last four games with Austin Seibert (groin) banged up. Seibert has been placed on the injured reserve and won't be eligible to return until Week 18 against the Dallas Cowboys. That being said, Gonzalez appears to be in line to be the primary kicker for a few more games. Gonzalez was 6-for-6 on extra point attempts, but missed both his field goals during the win over the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Despite a bit of a struggle, head coach Dan Quinn said that the team is pleased with what they've seen from Gonzalez over this last month. The 29-year-old will now head into a bye in Week 14.

Washington Commanders tight end Zach Ertz found the back of the end zone for the third-straight contest in their victory over the Tennessee Titans. Ertz saw six targets (second-highest on the team) and brought in three of them for 35 yards. The veteran tallied his fourth touchdown of the season off a four-yard pass from Jayden Daniels in the final frame. With Noah Brown's inconsistencies, fantasy managers should continue to expect Ertz to see a reliable target share weekly. Ertz remains a solid low-end TE1 heading into the final weeks of the season and continues to be a value in DFS formats. Ertz will look to stay hot in Week 15 when the Commanders travel to New Orleans to face the Saints following their Week 14 bye.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Noah Brown (ribs) caught three of his four targets for an underwhelming 27 yards during their Week 13 victory over the Tennessee Titans. Brown exited the game in the third quarter with a rib injury and did not return. However, with the Commanders holding a comfortable lead the entire game, Brown did not need to get overly involved in the gameplan. Since Week 8, Brown has only seen four or fewer targets his way in two games and only tallied less than 27 yards on two other occasions. Despite the poor showing, fantasy managers in deeper 3WR formats should continue to hold onto Brown during their Week 14 bye, as he will still operate as the clear No.2 wideout in this high-octane offense. Brown will look to have a bounce-back showing in Week 15 against the New Orleans Saints.

Washington Commanders wide receiver Terry McLaurin brought in all eight of his targets for 73 yards and two touchdowns in their victory over the Tennessee Titans. Both his targets and yardage paced all other Washington wideouts on Sunday afternoon. These eight targets were also his highest total since Week 8 against the Chicago Bears. Both of McLaurin's scores came from within 20 yards. Since Week 3, McLaurin has only fallen below 15.0 PPR points on one occasion and has tallied an impressive nine touchdowns in this span. Fantasy managers should continue to view McLaurin as a high-end WR2 heading into a Week 15 duel in New Orleans following their Week 14 bye.

Washington Commanders running back Jeremy McNichols took the backseat during their demanding victory over the Tennessee Titans. Entering this game with Austin Ekeler (concussion) on the IR, many suspected Jeremy McNichols to see an uptick in work and operate as the No.2 option behind Brian Robinson Jr. However, Chris Rodriguez Jr. logged double-digit attempts, while McNichols saw just six carries. While he was effective in his limited role (5.2 yards per carry), operating as the No.3 running back is not positive for his fantasy outlook. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor his status throughout their Week 14 bye week but should expect Rodriguez to be the new No.2 option in Week 15.
