Cardinals TE Zach Ertz being released to waiver wires

Adam Schefter

Cardinals and TE Zach Ertz are mutually parting ways, with Arizona deciding to move forward with its TE Trey McBride while giving Ertz the opportunity to finish out the season somewhere else. Ertz will go on waivers.

Related Players: Trey McBride

Fantasy Impact:

This makes sense, getting a much more explosive McBride on the field rather than mixing them both in with Ertz returning to health. Ertz could be picked up somewhere who needs TE help, and the Eagles wouldn't be out of the question if there are any hiccups in Dallas Goedert's return from his own injury.

Cardinals place TE Zach Ertz (quad) on IR

The Cardinals are putting TE Zach Ertz on IR, sources tell me and Tom Pelissero.

Related players: Trey McBride

Fantasy Impact:

Ertz, who has 27 catches for 187 yards and a TD this season, suffered a quad strain on Sunday. The plan is for him to return later in the year, the post went on to say. In the meantime, McBride will officially take over the TE1 role, but may have even before Ertz's injury. McBride had six targets in Week 7 and finished with a line of 3-29-0. However, he made some waves in Week 6 when he played more snaps and finished with a line of 4-62-0. If you're struggling at the position, McBride is certainly worth a look.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride sees jump in snaps

Oct 17, 2023 · 2:13 PM EDT

But in the Cardinals’ Week 6 loss to the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, it was Trey McBride — not Zach Ertz — pacing the tight ends room in offensive snaps (44). His receptions (four) and receiving yards (62) were also tied for the team lead.

Fantasy Impact:

HC Jonathan Gannon said McBride has been consistent since OTAs. He also called him an explosive player and a good blocker. McBride may not be on the fantasy radar just yet, but now could be the time to add him, especially if you are among the fantasy owners who don't have a legit TE1 option.

Cardinals TE Zach Ertz still uncertain for Week 1

TE Zach Ertz about playing Week 1: “I don’t think it’s certain by any means.”
Has to keep working. Has to re-earn trust of teammates, coaches.

Fantasy Impact:

We haven't heard a modicum of good news about the Cardinals offense through almost the entirety of the offseason. If Ertz is forced to miss time, we should see some extended playing time for sophomore Trey McBride, which will at least give us an idea of what he offers to this new-look offense with Joshua Dobbs or Clayton Tune at the helm.
