Zach Ertz News
The Arizona Cardinals finalized a three-year deal to re-sign three-time Pro Bowl tight end Zach Ertz on Sunday, according to a source. Ertz will come back on a deal ($31.65 million) that keeps him among the league's top-10 highest-paid tight ends at the age of 31. The move is nothing but great news for the Cardinals offense and Ertz's fantasy value heading into the 2022 season. Ertz was traded from the Philadelphia Eagles to the Cardinals in the middle of last season, and he thrived upon his arrival to the desert with 56 catches on 81 targets for 574 yards and three touchdowns in 11 games with Arizona. As long as quarterback Kyler Murray sticks around, which is expected, Ertz will enter 2022 fantasy drafts as at least a midrange TE1.
The Indianapolis Colts could be a perfect fit for Arizona Cardinals impending free-agent tight end Zach Ertz. Jack Doyle just announced his retirement, and Ertz played for head coach Frank Reich in Philadelphia when Reich was the offensive coordinator from 2016 to 2017. The Colts were also interested in Ertz last offseason and at the trade deadline. Ertz was solid for the Cardinals in 11 games after being traded by the Eagles, producing 56 catches for 574 yards and three touchdowns. The 31-year-old probably isn't in his prime anymore, but he could receive a long-term deal in his first shot at free agency. Ertz's fantasy value this year will be entirely dependent on where he lands, but the Colts currently have a big question mark at the QB position in 2022. The Los Angeles Chargers or Denver Broncos are potential landing spots for Ertz as well.
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.

Having two talented tight ends on the same team did no fantasy favors for Zach Ertz and Dallas Goedert, so it was a godsend for both players when Ertz was traded by the Philadelphia Eagles to the Arizona Cardinals in the middle of the 2021 season....
