Antoine Wesley To See Expanded Role
3 years agoWith Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) done for the rest of the regular season, Antoine Wesley, who filled in for Hopkins when he missed three games due to a hamstring injury, is the likely replacement to close out the season. Wesley and quarterback Kyler Murray both played for head coach Kliff Kingsbury at Texas Tech. Wesley has eight catches for 113 yards in 2021, but the Cardinals still have Christian Kirk, A.J. Green, rookie Rondale Moore and Andy Isabella on the roster. Green has been a No. 1 receiver in his career with Cincinnati, but Arizona won't rely on any one receiver to pick up Hopkins' slack. While the 24-year-old Wesley is an intriguing deep league or dynasty stash, he should be considered a deep sleeper in starting lineups the rest of the week.
