Fitzgerald is a completely different WR when Carson Palmer is under center, and the star receiver’s trio of TD’s last Sunday can attest to that.
He’s currently the fourth highest scoring WR in fantasy, and it certainly seems as if we are seeing the Fitzgerald of old this year, but expectations may be a bit too high. While Fitz does do much better with Palmer under center, a pair of easy matchups against the Saints and Bears are much closer to an offense’s dream than they are an offense’s nightmare, and may have played a big role in Arizona early success through the air.
That’s not to say that Fitz isn’t a good WR, though. He has a ton of potential in Bruce Arians’ offense, but a whole lot of risk as well. He’s a solid WR2 who happens to be putting up WR1 numbers, and if you can get WR1 value for him, go for it.
