#AZCardinals TE Zach Ertz, accepting his team Man of the Year award, said he had surgery to repair both his ACL and MCL.

Fantasy Impact:

Despite his optimism, it will be hard to have enough trust in Ertz to draft him next summer. Coming off a devastating injury at his age is no small task, and it might be a while before he fully recovers. In addition, he may find himself in a timeshare with rookie Trey McBride, who will try to create a role for himself within the Cardinals' offense down the stretch.
