Carson Palmer deserves a lot of love too, if he’s still sitting out there in your league you should probably go get him. Larry Fitzgerald is showing that he can still ball. Yes, the Cardinals have teed off against two bad defenses in the Saints and Bears, but their upcoming schedule shows plenty of exploitable secondary units (vs. SF, vs. STL, @DET, @PIT, vs. BAL, @CLE).
Larry Fitzgerald was the boring option coming into 2015, with hot item John Brown being stared down by everyone in their drafts. John Brown owners shouldn’t fret too much though, as he drew two long pass interference calls, and such is life for a big-play receiver in today’s NFL. Michael Floyd is clearly not part of the plan right now. Fitzgerald turned nine targets into an 8-112-3 line. I'm not keen on having most of the value tied to touchdowns, but this was a special day. 8-112-0 would still warrant attention.
Fitzgerald might fade later on in the season as the bumps and bruises accrue on his 32-year-old body, but the guy is a baller and he clearly loves to play the game of football. If you got him in your draft, you’ve been wearing a grin for a bit now. Don’t be afraid that this is all that fluky, as he is a truly great receiver that has a very good quarterback, and he has his trust. Fitzgerald is trending way up.
