The Arizona Cardinals will try to keep their win streak going against the Cincinnati Bengals tonight, and Carson Palmer has no signs of slowing down.
Last week when the Bengals played the Seattle Seahawks, Palmer threw for 363 yards and 3 touchdowns with just one pick. That was the fifth time this season he has thrown for at least three touchdowns thus far in the season. The Bengals defense has been tough for quarterbacks this year but facing his former team, Palmer will be playing with something to prove.
Larry Fitzgerald will look to keep balling out as he's done all season. Even against a scary Seattle secondary, Fitz still hauled in 10 catches for 130 yards. He's currently listed as probable but has practiced in full on Thursday and Friday, leaving him as an absolute must start today.
John Brown is also expected to play, but as fantasy owners know, will be a tough play. Brown hasn't caught a pass since Week 7 due to a hamstring injury holding him back.
This is usually when Michael Floyd would step in as the number two option for Palmer, however he is also dealing with a hamstring injury and did not practice at all this week. If Floyd does wind up playing he'll more than likely be on a snap count, opening the door for Brown to have a bounce back game.
As far as the run game goes, Chris Johnson might have himself a nice game. Cincinnati has given up 4.7 yards per attempt, tied for fourth worst in the league with the Oakland Raiders. We all know Johnson has the wheels to break free for huge chunks of yards at a time, but with only one touchdown since Week 3, owners can only hope he hits pay dirt.
