2023 Fantasy Outlook
Ertz revitalized his career with a move to Arizona, where he's caught 103 of 150 targets for 980 yards and seven TDs in 21 games since the 2021 trade deadline. His 2022 was cut short in November by a torn ACL and MCL, which might mean more missed time early in 2023 given that he's 32 years old and will be less than 10 months removed from major surgery come Week 1. Any absence would give 2022 second-round pick Trey McBride a chance to carve out a larger role, but if Ertz can return to pre-injury form -- which is far from a given at his age -- he could play an even prominent role in Arizona’s passing attack this season after DeAndre Hopkins was released in May. Prior to last year's knee tear, Ertz was on pace to top 70 receptions for a seventh time in the past eight seasons, albeit with four straight years at 6.8 yards per target or worse (after starting his career with 7.5 YPT or better six consecutive seasons).

Meager outing Sunday
Ertz gathered in both of his targets for six yards during Sunday's 28-16 win against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Through two contests, Ertz was pacing the Cardinals in targets with 18 on his way to 12 catches for 77 yards and no touchdowns. In Week 3 though, quarterback Joshua Dobbs' focus was on his top two wide receivers, with Marquise Brown and Rondale Moore combining for 13 targets. There figures to be some ebb and flow among the team's skill-position players in terms of usage, and Ertz still led Arizona tight ends in snap share (59 percent), ahead of Geoff Swaim (52 percent) and Trey McBride (49 percent). Ertz may have a tough time getting back on track this coming Sunday on the road against the 49ers.

Ertz struggled early last season while splitting snaps with Dallas Goedert in Philadelphia, but a
midseason trade to Arizona revitalized the veteran’s career. Adding his 189 yards on 31 targets
in six games with the Eagles prior to the trade, Ertz topped 700 receiving yards for the seventh
time in the last eight seasons while tying for third among tight ends with 112 targets. He also
tied for the league lead among tight ends with 20 red-zone targets, though he caught only eight,
including four touchdowns. Ertz is a good route runner with reliable hands who can use his size
and strength to outmuscle smaller defensive backs. But that physical style has also led to
numerous injuries through the years. Veteran tight end Maxx Williams, who is coming back from
a knee injury, is still around, and the team drafted Trey McBride in the second round, but Ertz is
secure as the team’s top pass-catching option at tight end for at least another year or two after
re-signing for three years and $31.65 million this offseason. The Cardinals traded for wide
receiver Marquise Brown on draft day, but wideout Christian Kirk left for Jacksonville and
DeAndre Hopkins is suspended the first six games, leaving plenty of targets to go around. Some
better luck in the red zone could lead to an even better year for Ertz, whose outlook heading into
this season is much brighter than it was ahead of last season.
