Chase Edmonds Has One Touch In Week 1
Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds had only one rush attempt for five yards and missed his lone target in Week 1 against the Lions.

Brandon 5 years agoAndy Isabella Shut Out In Week 1
Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Andy Isabella didn't record a single offensive stat in Week 1 against the Lions. The 62nd overall pick in the 2019 draft has yet to make a significant impact.

Brandon 5 years agoDamiere Byrd Catches Four Passes In Week 1
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Damiere Byrd snatched four catches on seven targets while gaining 42 yards in Week 1 against the Lions.

Brandon 5 years agoKeeSean Johnson Impressive In Week 1
Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Keesean Johnson was able to find himself in the starting lineup against the Detroit Lions, and made every bit count. The rookie saw double-digit targets (10), catching five passes for 46 yards. The fact that fellow rookie quarterback Kyler Murray looked his way so many times is encouraging. Recently signed […]
Brandon 5 years agoChristian Kirk Mediocre In Tie Against The Lions
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk hauled in only four of his 12 targets for 32 yards in Week 1 against the Lions. Despite the poor conversion rate, it is encouraging to see the volume that Kirk received, as he was second behind Larry Fitzgerald by only one target. The second-year man also converted a […]
Brandon 5 years agoLarry Fitzgerald Dominates In Week 1
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald didn't miss a beat against the Detroit Lions with eight catches, 113 yards and one touchdown.

Brandon 5 years agoDavid Johnson Of Old Returns
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson returned to his top-five caliber play against the Detroit Lions.

Brandon 5 years agoKyler Murray Shakes Off Jitters In Week 1
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray was able to shake off a rough first half and finish strong. The hype was all but dead in the first half, as the rookie posted a quarterback rating of 19.8. The nerves seemed to settle, as he went 29-for-54 for two touchdowns and 308 yards. Some concerns at the […]
Brandon 5 years agoMichael Crabtree A Healthy Scratch
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Crabtree will not play Sunday against the Detroit Lions. Look for rookies Andy Isabella and Keesean Johnson to see more work as a result.

Brandon 5 years agoMichael Crabtree A Shot In The Dark

This will be the veteran's 11th season and he will be lined up as the team's No. 3 wide receiver. Crabtree gets a decent matchup, according to Pro Football Focus, but don't expect much at this […]
Brandon 5 years agoLarry Fitzgerald Set For Week 1
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald looks to lace them up again for his 16th season as the Cardinals take on the Detroit Lions in the regular season opener on Sunday. The question is whether the veteran will be handing over the reigns to second-year man Christian Kirk for No. 1 wide receiver duties. Fitz […]
Brandon 5 years agoChristian Kirk A Boom-Or-Bust Play
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk will look to improve on his rookie season that included 43 receptions, 590 yards and three touchdowns while missing the final four games. Unfortunately for Kirk, he will draw a tough Week 1 matchup against Darius Slay of the Detroit Lions, who is a tremendous ball hawk. Expect the […]
Brandon 5 years agoDavid Johnson Looks To Rebound
Arizona Cardinals running back David Johnson looks to improve on a down fantasy year last season. Last year started slow for the veteran and he failed to eclipse the 1,000-yard rushing mark and only reached 100 yards once. All arrows are pointing up for him this season with rookie quarterback Kyler Murray taking the lead. […]
Brandon 5 years agoThe Kyler Murray Show Is Here
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray has a great matchup in his first NFL start against the Detroit Lions.

Brandon 5 years agoMichael Crabtree Listed As Starter
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Crabtree was listed as a starter in three-receiver sets on the team's official depth chart.

Brandon 5 years agoChristian Kirk To Return Punts
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk is slated to return punts this year. The second-year man averaged 7.8 yards per return in 2018, placing him 15th overall in average punt return yards per attempt. Kirk is expected to start alongside veteran Larry Fitzgerald in 3-WR sets in what should be a vastly improved offense. The […]
Brandon 5 years agoRicky Seals-Jones Released
The Arizona Cardinals released tight end Ricky Seals-Jones. Even with his connection to head coach Kliff Kingsbury, he couldn’t do enough to stay on the roster. Instead, the Cardinals will turn to Charles Clay and Maxx Williams. Look for Arizona to run plenty of four-WR sets in a high-tempo offense this season.
Brandon 5 years agoLarry Fitzgerald Poised For 16th Season
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is set and ready to go for another NFL season. The sure-fire hall-of-famer sits atop the Cardinals depth chart at wide receiver in what everyone is anticipating to be an explosive offense.

Brandon 5 years agoCardinals Defense To Be Fantasy Irrelevant
The Cardinals Defense is projected to be one of the bottom fantasy scorers in the league. The only bright spot last year was that they ranked fifth in sacks. Combine that with top playmakers like Patrick Peterson (six-game suspension), Chandler Jones, Budda Baker, and D.J. Swearinger; the Cardinals might be able to become fantasy relevant […]

Brandon 5 years agoCardinals Trade Korey Cunningham
The Arizona Cardinals traded offensive tackle Korey Cunningham to the New England Patriots for a 2020 sixth-round draft pick. Cunningham was a seventh-round pick in 2018 and started in six games.

Brandon 5 years agoMichael Crabtree Trying To Fit In
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Michael Crabtree, who officially signed with the team this past Sunday, admitted that it is going to take some time to understand the concept of head coach Kliff Kingsbury's offense. The 11-year veteran is coming off a 54-reception, 607 yards, and three-touchdown season last year with the Baltimore Ravens. Once Crabtree […]
Brandon 5 years agoHakeem Butler Placed On Injured Reserve
Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver Hakeem Butler (finger) was placed on Injured Reserve Sunday afternoon.

Brandon 5 years agoCharles Clay Sees Only Two Targets
Arizona Cardinals tight end Charles Clay hauled in his two targets for just four yards Saturday against the Vikings. The veteran is sitting atop the tight end depth chart for the Cardinals, but that doesn't mean he will stick there. With fellow tight ends Maxx Williams and Ricky Seals-Jones behind him, there is no telling […]
Brandon 5 years agoAndy Isabella Underwhelms
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella was quiet Saturday against the Vikings, grabbing only one catch on two targets for eight yards. After the four targets, one catch and 59-yard touchdown last week, this week was a letdown. The rookie is going to have to battle out some of the big names like Larry Fitzgerald, Christian […]
Brandon 5 years agoChase Edmonds Plays With A Purpose
Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds put in a strong performance Saturday afternoon against the Vikings, rushing three times for 13 yards and hauling in both of his two targets for 24 yards.
