10 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch (shoulder) was unable to practice with the team on Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. Dortch could be in danger of missing his second game of the year after apparently picking up a shoulder injury in the Week 15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Even if Dortch were to return to practice this week and play in Week 16 in a bad matchup against the Bears in Chicago, he wouldn't be a recommended flex play for fantasy managers. The 25-year-old didn't make his first catch until Week 9 and has 13 receptions (25 targets) for 139 yards and one touchdown on the year as a whole in 13 contests. With both Dortch and
Marquise Brown (heel) up in the air for this weekend,
Zach Pascal could join
Rondale Moore and rookie
Michael Wilson in three-receiver sets versus the Bears.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marquise Brown (heel) was not seen on the practice field in the portion open to the media on Wednesday. Brown was forced to exit early for the second straight game due to a heel injury in the Week 15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, putting his status firmly up in the air for this Sunday's tilt against the Chicago Bears on the road. The 26-year-old had the Week 14 bye to heal up, but it didn't appear to really help him all that much after he was hurt again this past Sunday. Fantasy managers should consider Hollywood extremely volatile if he actually suits up this weekend. Brown has left early his last two games and hasn't caught a pass since Week 12. If he doesn't play in Week 16, expect
Rondale Moore, rookie
Michael Wilson and
Greg Dortch to serve in three-receiver sets for Arizona.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that wide receiver
Marquise Brown's (heel) status for the Week 16 game against the Chicago Bears remains to be determined. However, potential bad weather in Chicago on Sunday won't play a factor in whether Brown suits up this weekend. The Cardinals are not in the playoff picture whatsoever, so there's no reason to rush the 26-year-old wideout back into the fold. Hollywood has been forced out early in each of the last two games and hasn't caught a pass since Week 12, so fantasy managers still playing for a title probably shouldn't plan on relying on his services in Week 16. If Brown doesn't play at all against the Bears,
Rondale Moore, rookie
Michael Wilson and
Greg Dortch should operate in three-receiver sets, with tight end
Trey McBride likely to lead the team in targets, catches and yards.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that as of now, wide receiver
Marquise Brown (heel) is unlikely to be placed on Injured Reserve. Gannon also said the team will know more about the status of tight end
Geoff Swaim (calf) by Wednesday. Brown injured his heel in the Week 13 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and then had the Week 14 bye to rest. However, he was still questionable for the Week 15 contest against the San Francisco 49ers. Hollywood suited up on Sunday but aggravated his heel injury, leaving his status for Week 16 against the Chicago Bears on Christmas Eve up in the air. Amidst his heel injury, the 26-year-old hasn't caught a pass since Week 12. Expect Brown to miss practice time this week, making him a pretty volatile fantasy asset during the semifinals in most leagues this week.

Rondale Moore continued to disappoint in the team's 45-29 blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday. Moore finished the Week 15 contest with two catches on three targets for only five yards while carrying the ball once for a pickup of three yards. The 23-year-old was unable to capitalize when rookie
Michael Wilson (shoulder) missed three games from Weeks 11-13 and remained silent with Wilson returning on Sunday. Moore has just one touchdown on the year and now has just 11 receiving yards on three receptions in the last two games.
Marquise Brown aggravated his heel injury in Week 15 and could be forced to miss time, but even then, Moore just hasn't done enough for fantasy managers to get excited about picking him up off the waiver wire.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals rookie tight end
Elijah Higgins caught 4-of-4 targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in the team's 45-29 Week 15 loss to the 49ers. He found the end zone late in the game for his first career touchdown to make the final score a tad bit closer, but by then it was too little too late. A 6-foot-3, 235-pound rookie behemoth out of Stanford, Higgins is currently nestled behind starter
Trey McBride on the team's depth chart. While he has excellent speed for his size and good hands, at this point he's nothing more than a handcuff for McBride and currently remains off the fantasy radar. Higgins and the rest of the Arizona offense will take on the Chicago Bears in Week 16.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride hauled in 10 of 11 targets for 102 yards in Sunday's 45-29 Week 15 loss to San Francisco. McBride was one of the lone bright spots for Arizona alongside teammate
James Conner. He finished as the team's leading receiver while also notching his second 100-yard game of the season, and saw a whopping 11 targets on the day. McBride is blossoming into a stud TE before our very eyes and is sporting a 38-425-2 stat line over his last five games. As such, he should be treated as a premium option at the position moving forward and will take on the Chicago Bears in Week 16.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado ran for 64 yards and a touchdown on four carries in the team's 45-29 Week 15 loss to San Francisco. As the primary backup behind
James Conner, Demercado made his presence known. He ripped off a long 49-yard TD run in the fourth quarter during garbage time to help get his team back in the game. Even though it was too little too late, Demercado has made a case for more playing time and should currently be considered ahead of teammate
Michael Carter for the second RB spot on the depth chart. Demercado and the rest of the Arizona offense will take on the Chicago Bears in Week 16.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
James Conner ran for 86 yards and a touchdown on 14 carries in the team's 45-29 Week 15 loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Conner also caught all three of his targets through the air. He was able to follow up his solid outing two weeks ago with another impressive performance against a 49ers rush defense ranked third-best in the league. Over his last two games, Conner has combined for 191 rushing yards and three touchdowns and is gaining momentum at a crucial point in the fantasy schedule. He remains on track as a solid RB2 heading into a Week 16 showdown against the Chicago Bears.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray completed 26 of 39 pass attempts for 211 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions in the team's Week 15 loss to the 49ers. He also added 49 rushing yards on six attempts. Going up against one of the best defensive units in the league, it was not one of the better outings for Murray or the Arizona offense. On a positive note, Murray did help his team take an early lead before throwing a crucial interception towards the end of the first quarter that shifted momentum back to San Fran. Later in the game, Murray was also able to throw a TD pass to help salvage the mediocre performance. Even though Kyler had to leave at one point due to injury, he later returned and should be good to go for a Week 16 clash against the Chicago Bears.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marquise Brown (heel) is questionable to return to Sunday's showdown with the 49ers. He was questionable heading into this one because of a heel issue, so there's a good chance he won't be back, especially with San Francisco's decisive lead in the fourth quarter. If Brown is officially ruled out, he'll finish without a target, with
Trey McBride,
Rondale Moore, and
Greg Dortch the favorites to see a few extra looks from
Kyler Murray.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Geoff Swaim (calf) won't return to Sunday's meeting with the 49ers. He suffered a calf injury, ending his day with one catch for 26 yards. That said, it's unlikely many fantasy managers had him in the lineup, considering
Trey McBride is the primary tight end on the depth chart.

10 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receivers
Marquise Brown (heel) and
Michael Wilson (neck) are active for Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers. Both players had been listed as questionable but were trending in the right direction prior to kickoff. Brown has produced mixed results this season, catching just 51 of 101 targets for 574 yards and four touchdowns. Meanwhile, Wilson is making his return from a three-game absence. The promising rookie has 28 catches for 435 yards and a pair of touchdowns over the course of nine contests. While Brown and Wilson are solid players, a tough matchup against the 49ers does create some concern. Fantasy managers should view both as WR3/FLEX options this week

10 months agoArizona Cardinals safety Budda Baker (illness) was added to the injury report on Sunday morning. He's officially questionable to play against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 15. With just six hours until the game starts, it appears that the safety's status is suddenly up in the air, though it's possible that this is strictly procedural and doesn't need to trigger any warning flags. Fans and managers concerned about Baker's availability should check back for confirmation on his status 90 minutes before kickoff.
