Larry Fitzgerald (WR, ARI) - Fantasy Football Draft Values

BALLER MOVE: Target Around ~80 Overall

Current ADP: ~100

The hype surrounding Kyler Murray is real. Everybody is buying into Arizona's fast-paced and bombing offense under Kliff Kingsbury. Oh, and Larry Fitzgerald will keep burning defenses as he has been doing for the last gazillion years. Some things never change.

Who are we trying to lie by looking at Fitzgerald's last season and talking about it like it was his average? That is just not the reality, plain and simple. Fitzgerald ranks 11th in PPR points from 2016-2018. What happened in 2018 was an outlier season in his high-caliber career. Even at 36 years of age, he could easily finish 2019 producing at WR2 level. He's currently in RotoBaller's sixth tier of WR with an expert ranking of 88 overall.

If there is someone primed to benefit from his new offensive system, that must be Fitzgerald. He was targeted 7.8% of the snaps and caught 69 passes for 734 yards and six touchdowns in a "down" season. A down season, that is, because in 2015, 2016, and 2017 he always finished with 1000+ yards, 100+ receptions, and at least 145 targets. Rarely does Fitzgerald miss any game (he hasn't since 2014), so even the slightest of improvements in production playing for Kingsbury and Murray makes me believe we can be looking at a monster season from Fitzgerald once again.
