10 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride is set for a crucial Week 18 showdown against the Seattle Seahawks, and fantasy managers should consider starting him. Despite a slight dip in production in recent weeks, McBride remains a top option at a thin fantasy position. In the last game against the Eagles, he caught six of seven targets for 48 yards, showcasing his consistent involvement in the passing game. Notably since Week 10, McBride has been a volume monster, ranking first in target share (25.2%) among tight ends. Additionally, with quarterback
Kyler Murray under center, McBride has displayed elite volume and usage stats, making him a reliable fantasy asset. As the Cardinals face Seattle to close out the year, McBride's strong finish to the season seems imminent, and he can be started with confidence in Week 18.

Rondale Moore's recent performance in the Cardinals' Week 17 victory over the Eagles, where he caught three passes for 26 yards and had two carries for eight yards, adds to a season marked by inconsistency. Despite consistent playing time, with a 60 percent share in 14 of 16 games, Moore has struggled to deliver significant yardage in most outings, with only five games surpassing 40 yards. Since quarterback
Kyler Murray's return in Week 10, Moore's contributions have been limited, accumulating just 16 catches on 24 targets, six carries, 216 total yards, and one receiving touchdown in seven contests. Even though Moore and the Cardinal offense take on the Seahawk's defense in Week 18, which has conceded the eighth-most receptions to wide receivers, there's no guarantee of a breakthrough. To that end, fantasy managers should consider sitting Moore and opting for more reliable options to close out the year.

Michael Wilson's Week 17 performance, amassing four receptions for 35 yards and a touchdown, provided a glimmer of hope after a recent dry spell. However, with his failing to record a catch on his last seven targets over the last two games, Wilson's 5.8 yards per target efficiency is a concern. Even though The 23-year-old's ability to find the end zone adds a silver lining, a matchup against the Seahawks poses a few challenges. With Wilson still getting reacclimated in the offense from a neck injury that sidelined him in Weeks 11-13, the lack of synergy with quarterback
Kyler Murray in the past two games also raises questions about his consistency. Fantasy managers should exercise caution and sit Wilson in Week 18, prioritizing more reliable options as the Cardinals close out the season against Seattle.

10 months agoArizona running back
James Conner's Week 17 heroics, amassing 128 rushing yards and two touchdowns, highlight his dominant form heading into Week 18. With a four-game scoring streak, Conner needs just 110 yards to reach 1,000 for the season. Averaging 21.6 touches and 109.8 total yards since Week 13, he's a prime asset. Ranking 12th in explosive run rate, seventh in missed tackles forced per attempt, and eighth in yards after contact, Conner has been electric. Seattle's porous run defense, allowing the most yards and fifth-highest explosive run rate since Week 12, sets the stage for Conner's success in Week 18. Fantasy managers should confidently start him as he aims to continue his impressive run and end the season strong.

10 months agoIn Week 18, Arizona Cardinals' quarterback
Kyler Murray carries the momentum from a stellar performance against the Eagles into a matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Completing over 80% of his passes and scoring three touchdowns in a comeback victory in Week 17, Murray showcased his quarterback prowess. While his rushing output was modest, Murray remains a dual-threat force, ranking seventh in rushing yards and red zone carries per game. Despite his recent struggles as a passer, the Seahawks' defense, which has shown vulnerability in recent weeks, presents an opportunity for Murray to exploit. Since Week 12, Seattle has allowed significant passing yards, high yards per attempt, and a notable passer rating. With Murray's ability to capitalize on defensive weaknesses and a track record of at least 20 fantasy points in four of seven starts, deploying him in Week 18 could prove rewarding for fantasy managers. Murray is a QB1 for this matchup.

Zach Pascal (hamstring) logged another limited practice on Friday and is officially questionable to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 18. The 29-year-old has merely filled a depth role this season, catching four of 15 targets for 19 yards. He played 22 percent of offensive snaps last week with
Marquise Brown (heel) on injured reserve but remains off the fantasy radar for Sunday's regular-season finale.

10 months agoThe Cleveland Browns will rest quarterback
Joe Flacco for the Week 18 regular season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday with the team already locked into the No. 5 seed in the AFC for the playoffs. With the Browns resting Flacco,
Jeff Driskel will make the start and
P.J. Walker will back him up. The 30-year-old Driskel will only be worth looking at for fantasy managers that are in a bind in two-QB superflex leagues this weekend. He'll be playing for the first time this season. Driskel spent the 2022 season with the Houston Texans and played in seven games (two starts), going 14-for-20 for 108 yards passing, one touchdown and no interceptions. It's likely the Browns will rest other key starters on offense like receiver
Amari Cooper (heel), too, so make sure to check back for updates this week.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals offensive tackle D.J. Humphries (knee) suffered a torn ACL in the team's Week 17 upset win over the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a tough blow for the veteran and the team with just one week remaining in the regular season. The 2015 first-round selection out of the University of Florida has started 98 games for the organization and has been an above-average tackle for most of his career. The team has a potential out in his contract after this season, and the injury could play a factor in that decision. Kelvin Beachum will be in charge of protecting
Kyler Murray's blindside against Seattle in Week 18.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that there is "no doubt" that quarterback
Kyler Murray will open the 2024 season later this year as the Cardinals' starting QB. "'Number 1' is our franchise quarterback," Gannon said. Since Murray made his 2023 season debut in Week 10, the Cardinals are 3-4 and just upset the Philadelphia Eagles 35-31 on Sunday. There had been questions as to whether the Cardinals would even play Murray for much of the year while he was rehabbing a torn ACL he suffered late in the 2022 season. Arizona will be looking to build around Murray in this year's draft instead of replacing him under center. With a normal offseason upcoming for Murray, he'll be a midrange QB1 target for fantasy managers in drafts this fall.

Michael Wilson redeemed himself with an impactful performance, catching 4-of-6 targets for 35 yards and a crucial five-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter to tie the game. After a two-game catchless streak, Wilson showcased his resilience, reconnecting with quarterback
Kyler Murray for a pivotal score. Although Wilson's efficiency was modest at 5.8 yards per target, the 23-year-old wideout proved instrumental in the Cardinals' comeback win. Looking ahead to Week 18 against the Seahawks and 2024, fantasy managers can find reassurance in Wilson's ability to rebound, envisioning him as a potential cornerstone of the Cardinal's passing attack for years to come.

This performance followed a notable six-catch game in Week 16, reaffirming his status as a reliable option in the passing game.

Greg Dortch delivered a solid fantasy performance in the Cardinals' Week 17 win over the Eagles, catching all seven of his targets for 82 yards. Leading the team in receptions and yards, Dortch proved to be a reliable target for quarterback
Kyler Murray. With teammate
Marquise Brown sidelined due to a heel injury, Dortch stepped into a more prominent role, showcasing his ability to contribute significantly to the passing attack. His seven receptions and 82 yards were not only team highs but also outshone receivers from both squads. As Arizona heads into Week 18 without Brown, Dortch is poised to maintain a key role in the passing game, making him a WR4 in those leagues with a Week 18 championship on the line.
