Sleepers on the Washington Commanders
- TE Zach Ertz - 3 votes
- RB Jacory Croskey-Merritt - 3 votes
- S Will Harris - 2 votes
- RB Brian Robinson Jr - 2 votes
- WR Luke McCaffrey - 1 vote
- WR Deebo Samuel Sr. - 1 vote
- TE Ben Sinnott - 1 vote
Reasons TE Zach Ertz Could Be a Sleeper
- Jeff Haseley: If he can still bring it, he's a tremendous value. He's a player you can draft as a TE2/3 that can strengthen your tight end position.
- Jeff Bell: Ertz delivered a top 12 TE1 season in 2024 and holds an ADP of TE20 in early 2025 drafts.
- Craig Lakins: Ertz will continue to be under-drafted due to his advanced age, but he finished as the TE7 in 2024. Round 13 is too late for him to be drafted with no added competition in the tight end room.
