Zach Ertz and Dalton Kincaid are potential streaming options for the tight end position in Week 15 of the 2024 fantasy football season. They have each flashed their weekly upside at times this year and enter favorable situations in their upcoming matchups. Here's which one is a better pick for lineups this week.
Is Zach Ertz a good fantasy pick in Week 15?
Zach Ertz is having a solid 2024 fantasy football season in his first year with the Washington Commanders. He currently ranks as the overall TE10 this season and has finished as the TE13 or better eight times in his 13 games so far, with three of those coming in each of his past three games.

His past three games have represented the best streak of his season so far, being targeted at least six times each and scoring a touchdown in all three of them. Ertz gets a favorable matchup this week that will give him a chance to keep it rolling when he faces off against a New Orleans Saints defense that has sturggled overall this year.
Is Dalton Kincaid a good fantasy pick in Week 15?
Dalton Kincaid is expected to return to the Buffalo Bills' lineup this week after missing their past three games with a knee injury. Prior to missing time, he had finished among the top 15 weekly tight ends in five of his first 10 games this year. This gives him streaming value in the right matchups and this week appears to be one of them.
He will face off against the Detroit Lions in a potential shootout that is expected to be one of the highest-scoring overall games this week. This should give him plenty of scoring opportunities in fantasy football, especially against a beatable passing defense.
Zach Ertz or Dalton Kincaid: Who should I start in Week 15 fantasy football?
Zach Ertz is the recommended tight end to use in Week 15 fantasy football lineups over Dalton Kincaid. While Kincaid may have a higher ceiling this week given the situation of his matchup, Ertz has demonstrated a much safer floor and is on his most productive streak of the season right now.
Sportskeeda's Who Should I Start tool predicts that Ertz will score nearly an additional fantasy point than Kincaid in PPR scoring formats this week. Their projections are similar in most categories, but his expected volume is what gives him the edge.
