James Conner ranks as a high-end RB2 when the Cardinals host the Chicago Bears in Week 9. Conner had over 20 touches last week in the win over the Miami Dolphins. He has benefited from his heavy workload, ranking in the top 10 in rushing attempts this season. His volume makes him an appealing player in fantasy each week, as, despite his inefficiency last week, he still found the end zone. The Chicago Bears rank 10th in points allowed to opposing fantasy running backs, presenting a challenging matchup. Even against the stout Bears front, Conner's workload makes him a viable starter in fantasy.

Kyler Murray should be started in all league formats ahead of their Week 9 matchup against the Chicago Bears. He enters this game as one of just three quarterbacks averaging over 200 passing yards and 40 rushing yards per game. His dual-threat ability makes him a strong fantasy starter in nearly every matchup. The Cardinals offense has seemingly found its identity, scoring 28 points in their Week 8 win over the Dolphins. Murray and his top target, rookie wideout
Marvin Harrison Jr., have also found a groove, connecting for their fifth touchdown of the season last week. With the Cardinals offense gaining momentum and Murray's rushing ability, he is a high-end starting QB for Week 9 in fantasy football.

Chad Ryland hit his third game-winning field goal of the season as the Cardinals beat the Miami Dolphins 28-27. Ryland has found his confidence in Arizona while playing in relief of the injured
Matt Prater. Before hitting the game-winning field goal, he tied his season long with a 57-yard field goal early in the third quarter. Ryland also added two extra points to his stat line. The Cardinals are rolling, having won two games in a row, and with the schedule beginning to open up, Ryland becomes a potential kicking streamer moving forward.

Trey McBride caught nine of 11 targets for 124 yards in the Week 8 victory over the Miami Dolphins. It was National Tight Ends Day across the NFL, and McBride stepped up in a big way. The 24-year-old again served as the team's go-to receiver in crucial moments, especially on third downs. He also showcased his athleticism, making plays with his legs after the catch, including a hurdle over a defender during one of the Cardinals' explosive plays. Although McBride still hasn't found the end zone, his high target share keeps him fantasy relevant. McBride remains a TE1 heading into Week 9's matchup against the Chicago Bears.

James Conner recorded 53 rushing yards on 20 carries and a touchdown in the Week 9 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Conner also caught two of three passes for 16 receiving yards. The Cardinals struggled to establish the run against the stout Dolphins front. Despite this struggle, Conner made critical plays in the fourth quarter and found the end zone, delivering a solid fantasy outing and helping the Cardinals secure the victory. Conner received 20 carries and remains the Cardinals' workhorse. He is set to be a mid- to high-end RB2 when the Cardinals host the Bears in Week 10.

Marvin Harrison Jr. finally got back on track with a 22-yard touchdown catch in the Week 8 victory over the Miami Dolphins. Harrison Jr. hauled in six catches for 111 yards and a touchdown, which is on par for a WR1-type outing. The Cardinals showed a commitment to scheming up looks for Harrison Jr. to get the ball despite playing against one of the top passing defenses in the NFL. If they continue that commitment, fantasy managers should once again feel confident in starting Harrison Jr. He appears to be valued as a high-end WR2 when the Cardinals host the Chicago Bears in Week 9.

Kyler Murray threw for over 300 yards for the first time this season in Sunday's 28-27 win over the Miami Dolphins. Murray's official stat line included 26 completions on 36 attempts for 307 yards and two touchdowns while adding 19 yards on the ground. He played his best game of the season so far and orchestrated a game-winning drive that set up
Chad Ryland to hit the walk-off field goal. While Murray didn't have as many designed runs in previous weeks, this was primarily due to the Dolphins' ability to stop the run and the Cardinals' shift to a pass-first offense, which should not concern fantasy managers. Murray remains a starting fantasy quarterback as the Cardinals take on the Bears in Week 9.

6 months agoArizona Cardinals defensive back Sean Murphy-Bunting (neck) and defensive tackle Roy Lopez (ankle) will not suit up in Week 8 to face the Miami Dolphins. Bunting was unable to practice all week due to a neck injury he suffered in last week's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Lopez was also unable to practice all week. Both defenders will hope to return in Week 9 to face the Chicago Bears. As a result, Starling Thomas, Garrett Williams, and Max Melton will see most of the snaps at cornerback while Khyiris Tonga will start at defensive tackle.

6 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson has shown promise in recent weeks, which has put him on the radar of many fantasy managers looking for a flex option in Sunday's matchup against the Miami Dolphins. Wilson has recorded double-digit fantasy outings in three of his last four matchups, and his increased role has led to 13 targets in those three contests. He is a name to keep in mind and should be rostered in deep leagues. However, with the Cardinals facing the stout Dolphins pass defense, Wilson would be a risky streaming option at best in Week 8.

Marvin Harrison Jr. should be viewed as a WR3 with boom-or-bust potential in Week 8 when the Cardinals travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins. Harrison Jr.'s target share has officially become a concern for fantasy managers, as he has just five catches on 15 targets in the last three weeks. This includes Harrison Jr. being knocked out of the Week 6 matchup with the Packers due to a concussion. Fantasy managers should not make any rash decisions regarding Harrison Jr. yet. The No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has a ton of upside and is WR22 in the latest RotoBaller rankings for Week 8. Harrison Jr. should remain in fantasy lineups despite the lack of recent fantasy production.

Trey McBride is a must-start at the position every week moving forward. The Cardinals travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins in Week 8, who have the No. 3 ranked defense against tight ends in fantasy. However, that should not concern fantasy managers, as McBride has emerged as the Cardinals' No. 1 passing option. He leads the team in targets, and that trend is likely to continue as the Cardinals frequently scheme plays for McBride to get the ball. Fantasy managers should have full confidence in McBride for the foreseeable future.

James Conner should be viewed as a solid RB2 with a high floor when the Cardinals travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins in Week 8. Conner shined on Monday night with 21 touches for 152 yards in the crucial win over the Chargers. That performance further solidified Conner as the Cardinals' offensive feature back and focal point. He has been a workhorse and a tackle-breaking specialist, having broken 15 tackles—the most in a game this season—on Monday night. As the Cardinals travel two time zones to play against a solid defense, they will likely continue their run-first approach, providing Conner plenty of opportunities. Managers should look to start Conner in Week 8.

Kyler Murray should be viewed as a mid-tier QB1 in Week 8 when the Cardinals travel to Miami to take on the Dolphins. The team has been committed to creating more opportunities for Murray to use his legs in recent weeks, with at least six carries per game over his last three outings, including multiple touchdown runs of over 40 yards. This bodes well for Murray's fantasy outlook, as rushing stats are a significant driving force behind the top-ranked quarterbacks in fantasy. The Dolphins have a strong pass defense, which could lead the Cardinals to rely more on Murray's legs, making him a strong fantasy start in Week 8 against Miami.

Chad Ryland drilled his only attempt, which was the 32-yard game-winning field goal for the Cardinals on Monday night. Ryland also hit two extra points to go along with the game-winning field goal. This was a grinding matchup between two offenses that played at a slower pace, and the Cardinals' offense didn't find themselves in a field goal situation until the end of the game, limiting Ryland's opportunities. With the Cardinals' offense still struggling to find consistency, Ryland doesn't yet crack the list of fantasy-relevant kickers. However, the Cardinals will face some mid- to lower-tier defenses in the coming weeks, which could make Ryland a potential streaming option in the future.
