Zach Ertz Fantasy

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz had a team-high seven catches for 41 yards in a Week 17 win over the Dallas Cowboys. His nine targets also tied Christian Kirk for the team lead. Ertz has had a career resurgence since his trade from the Philadelphia Eagles earlier this year. Entering the game as TE7 in PPR leagues, Ertz has blended in nicely with Kyler Murray and the Arizona offense since his acquisition. Scheduled to be a free agent next year, it will be interesting to see if Arizona attempts to resign the veteran tight end after such a successful season.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz has benefited from the return of quarterback Kyler Murray and the absence of wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. After logging consecutive games with double-digit targets, Ertz now ranks as TE7 in PPR leagues. Week 17 brings a matchup with a Dallas Cowboys defense that gives up the 16th most points to opposing tight ends but is a top-five unit against the run. In a potential shootout with no Hopkins in the lineup, Ertz should once again project as one of the best tight end options of the week.

Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (hamstring) put in a full practice on Thursday after he was listed as a limited participant on Wednesday. Ertz has been listed on the injury report with a hamstring for several weeks, but he hasn't missed any time and will be available in Week 17 against the Dallas Cowboys. The 31-year-old has been a top-10 fantasy tight end this year with the Philadelphia Eagles and the Cardinals, and he's been targeted 24 times over the last two weeks, catching 14 passes for 128 scoreless yards. Now that receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) is done for the rest of the regular season, Ertz has basically become a must-start TE1 for fantasy managers.
