Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (knee) hopes to be ready for Week 1 of the 2023 season as he continues to recover from a torn anterior cruciate ligament. "I am excited with where we are right now," Ertz said on Thursday, Feb. 16. "The goal is always to be there Week 1. It's an adaptable goal. When I am out there, I am going to be myself. I'm not going to go out there early, put the team at risk when I'm 80 percent. I need to be at my best for this organization to be successful."
Huddle Up: Ertz is locked in for at least one more year, as his contract carries a large dead-cap hit of $10 million in 2023 that the Cardinals are unlikely to eat. However, there's the potential that his role will be decreased a bit, as the team will likely look to get 2022 second-round pick and TE Trey McBride more involved. With McBride in the mix and with Ertz coming off a torn ACL, temper expectations with the veteran, who was producing at a TE1 level before his injury.

Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (knee) told reporters Thursday, Dec. 8, that he hopes to be ready for the start of the 2023 season despite undergoing surgery to repair his anterior cruciate ligament and medial collateral ligament recently.
Huddle Up: Ertz suffered his knee injury in Week 10, which will give him about nine full months to recover from his surgery and rehab. It may be a bit much to ask for a 32-year-old to pull that off, so fantasy managers should proceed as if Ertz will not be available for the start of 2023. The Cardinals drafted Trey McBride last spring - likely to be Ertz's successor - so perhaps the team ramps things up with him over the final month of the season.

Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Saturday, Nov. 26.
Huddle Up: Ertz has been expected to miss the rest of the season so the only mild surprise is the fact that it took almost two weeks to make the move. Replacing Ertz will be rookie second-round pick Trey McBride.

Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (knee) did not participate in practice Friday, Nov. 25, and has been ruled out for Week 12.
Huddle Up: Ertz is expected to miss several more weeks, so he should be avoided in all fantasy leagues. Trey McBride will be the main tight end for the Cardinals, but fantasy players should be able to find better options to use.
