Chandler Jones Devoid Of Shine This Week
Arizona Cardinals linebacker Chandler Jones doesn't have a lot of upside in Week 4 against the Seattle Seahawks. Jones has been a top-10 linebacker despite only eight solo tackles on the season. He has three sacks, a pass defense and has forced three fumbles. The Seahawks have allowed opposing defenses the fourth-most fantasy points in... Read More
KeeSean Johnson Shouldn't See Your Lineup
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson has been targeted six times the last two weeks, which translated into four grabs for 44 yards. He opened with a promising 10-target performance in Week 1, but he has tanked since then. He's not an option to start against the Seattle Seahawks, and he's really only worth owning... Read More
Larry Fitzgerald A Stabilizer
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald remains productive at 36 years of age. He's 16th in the league in fantasy points at the position. However, last week, he needed a touchdown to salvage a five-catch, 36-yard day. He eclipsed 100 yards in each of the first two weeks, but that could have been an aberration... Read More
Christian Kirk Ascending
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk has blossomed in the fantasy stratosphere the last couple of weeks. He has been targeted 12, eight and 12 times, respectively, the first three weeks of the season. Those looks have been converted to 20 catches for 205 yards, but he hasn't reached the end zone yet. Kirk is... Read More
David Johnson Has So-So Matchup
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has a midrange matchup against the Seattle Seahawks this weekend. Johnson, who is 10th in fantasy points per game at the position, faces a Seahawks team ranked 16th in the league at allowing points to the position. Johnson has been less than impressive, but his three touchdowns have salvaged... Read More
Kyler Murray Not A Starting Option
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray doesn't have the matchup to exploit in order to crack the starting lineup in fantasy against the Seattle Seahawks. Murray is 15th in the league in fantasy points entering Week 4, and the Seahawks are 16th in fantasy points allowed per game to the position. There just isn't enough substance... Read More
Aaron Donald Comes Alive For Rams Defense
Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald had four tackles (three solo) and his first sack of the season in Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns. Donald started out slowly the first two weeks, but he delivered in this affair. He has another positive outlook against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 4. He's worth... Read More
Gerald Everett Kept In Check
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett had just two catches for 15 yards in Week 3. Those were the only two targets he saw filling in for Tyler Higbee (lung). Everett isn't worth consideration against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week in traditional leagues.
Malcolm Brown Does Little
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown rushed just three times for seven yards in Week 3. It was a tough day overall for the running game as the team rushed 24 times to 38 pass attempts. Brown has done little in the last two games after a two-touchdown opener. He has a tough matchup... Read More
Todd Gurley Ineffective
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley rushed 14 times for 43 yards in a quiet Week 3 outing against the Cleveland Browns. He was targeted once through the air, but he had no completions. He'll have a tough matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers next week. The Bucs have been among the stingiest defenses... Read More
KeeSean Johnson A Non-Factor Again
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson caught three of four targets for 13 yards in Week 3. Johnson had a promising Week 1 with five catches on 10 targets for 46 yards, but he has been invisible since. He's worth keeping in dynasty formats, but it might be time to cut bait in single-year formats.... Read More
Larry Fitzgerald Reaches Pay Dirt
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught five balls for 36 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. He surpassed 100 yards in each of the first two games, which wasn't really sustainable because he caught long passes in each to eclipse the century mark. Fitz was targeted a season-low seven times Sunday. He remains... Read More
Christian Kirk Hauls In 10 Balls
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk caught 10 balls for 59 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Carolina Panthers. Kirk led all players with 12 targets. The line was very good in point-per-reception leagues, but it didn't move the needle much without PPR compensation. Kirk is ascending in PPR leagues as he's averaging... Read More
David Johnson So-So In Week 3
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson rushed 11 times for 37 yards and caught six balls for 28 yards and a touchdown in Week 3. The receiving score salvaged what would have been another lackluster performance. He has gained just 133 yards on 36 carries (3.69 yards per rush), but he has a score through... Read More
Kyler Murray Delivers Mixed Bag
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was 30-for-43 for 173 yards, two touchdown and two interceptions in the loss Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. He also added eight rushes for 69 yards. Murray was sacked eight times in the game. His completion percentage remains positive, but he isn't moving the ball downfield effectively. This was the... Read More
Gerald Everett An Afterthought This Week
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett could see more action against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3 with Tyler Higbee (lung) iffy to play. The Browns have allowed just six catches to the position, but two of them went for touchdowns. Everett caught three balls for 21 yards last week after he caught just... Read More
Tyler Higbee Not A Week 3 Option
Los Angeles Rams tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) has a lukewarm matchup against the Cleveland Browns this week. The Browns have allowed just six catches to tight ends this year, but two of them went for six points. Higbee has six catches for 41 yards and a score on eight targets. Higbee is iffy to... Read More
Malcolm Brown A Sneaky Flex Option
Los Angeles Rams running back Malcolm Brown could be a sneaky flex option against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. The Browns have given up the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs this season. They flashed some big plays on offense last week, but it arguable that they should have did more against the flailing... Read More
Todd Gurley Could Be Jekyll Or Hyde
Los Angeles Rams running back Todd Gurley has a great matchup against the Cleveland Browns in Week 3. The Browns have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to running backs this season, and Gurley has been steady the first two weeks. He was used sparingly in the season opener, but he came on late when the... Read More
KeeSean Johnson A Long-Term Option
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson is not worth starting against the Carolina Panthers this week, but he is one to hold on to in most formats. The rookie had five catches for 46 yards in the season opener and had just two targets in the second game. That game was receiver Michael Crabtree's debut... Read More
Larry Fitzgerald Leads Young Cards
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald remains a WR2 option in point-per-reception formats heading into Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers. He has eclipsed the 100-yard mark in both games to open the season, and he has been targeted 24 times in them. The yardage may not hold because he has caught passes of 54... Read More
Christian Kirk Emerging
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk is worth a look as a flex play in Week 3 against the Carolina Panthers. Kirk broke out with six grabs for 114 yards last week, and he was targeted 20 times in the first two games. The Panthers are among the better teams at defending the position, and... Read More
Damiere Byrd On The Fringe
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd has emerged as a player to watch on waivers. He has just 10 catches for 87 yards and no touchdowns in two games, but he was targeted seven times in each game. He is functionally the team's third-best wide receiver, though Keesean Johnson has a lot more upside, and... Read More
David Johnson Has Upside
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson has a good matchup against the Carolina Panthers in Week 3. The Panthers have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to running backs in the first two weeks of the season. It's also possible that the Panthers will be without quarterback Cam Newton (foot), who has been hampered by injury... Read More
Kyler Murray Has A Tough Draw
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has a tough matchup against the Carolina Panthers this week. The Panthers have been great against opposing quarterbacks as they have yielded the fourth-fewest fantasy points to the position. In contrast, Murray has been a pleasant surprise through his first two weeks. He has thrown for 300 yards in both... Read More
KeeSean Johnson A Non-Factor In Week 2
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Keesean Johnson had just one catch for 31 yards in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens. It was a disappointment after he had five grabs for 46 yards on 10 targets in the season opener. Johnson was targeted just twice on quarterback Kyler Murray's 40 passing attempts. It's another tough draw... Read More
Gerald Everett Hauls In Three Catches
Los Angeles Rams tight end Gerald Everett caught three passes for 21 yards in Week 2 against the New Orleans Saints. Tight end Tyler Higbee (lung) left the game and was hospitalized due to a lung injury, which could cost him some time. If Higbee is out for Week 3, Everett doesn't have enough fantasy... Read More
Larry Fitzgerald Breaks Century Mark
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald had five catches for 104 yards in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens. More than half of that came on a 54-yard reception, though. He was targeted 11 times, which was the most of any Cardinals receiver. He might not have as much upside against the tough Carolina Panthers... Read More
Christian Kirk Breaks Out
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk hauled in six grabs for 114 yards in the Week 2 loss against the Baltimore Ravens Sunday. He was targeted eight times in the game with his longest reception coming in at 34 yards. He'll have a tough draw next week against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers are one... Read More
Kyler Murray Airs It Out
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was 25-for-40 for 349 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in the Week 2 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. The 62.5 percent completion percentage was a step forward after completing just 53.7 percent of his passes in his first game. He rushed just three times for four yards, and he... Read More
