11 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marquise Brown (heel) is "hopeful" to play versus the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Listed as questionable entering this weekend, Brown had the odds stacked against him after he missed two consecutive practices on Thursday and Friday. However, he's pushing to be active and, by the tone of Rapoport's tweet, certainly has a chance to do so. The 26-year-old has been relatively quiet over his last three contests, catching just seven passes for 60 yards. He ranks as a low-end WR3 in fantasy football for Week 12.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals kicker
Matt Prater can be viewed as a reliable streaming option heading into Week 12. With the re-emergence of quarterback
Kyler Murray leading the Arizona passing game, Prater has become a viable fantasy kicker once again. Through 11 games on the year, Prater has missed just three kicks on 33 total attempts, despite ranking 26th among kickers. In Week 12, Arizona will face off against the L.A. Rams, a team that has conceded the fifth-most points per game to the position. With L.A. boasting a top-10 pass defense, there is a chance Arizona could struggle a bit moving the ball down the field, opening the door for Prater to have a solid day. Fantasy managers in need of help could do a lot worse than Prater in Week 12.

11 months agoThe Arizona Cardinals will face off against the L.A. Rams in Week 12, and their defense currently is not a unit worth starting. Arizona not only has one of the worst overall defenses in the NFL (30th) but also allows opponents to convert third down 47% of the time, which is the second-worst rate in the league behind the Chicago Bears. Pair this with a Rams team that boasts a solid passing offense and the odds are not good for the Cardinal's defense in this matchup. Additionally, Arizona ranks 29th against the rush, further cementing themselves as a defense to avoid. This unit should be off the fantasy radar completely in Week 12.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride finished second on the team in receptions and targets in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans, showcasing his elite ability. In Week 12, Arizona will match up against the L.A. Rams, who boast the ninth-best defense against the pass. Despite this, McBride should remain heavily involved in the team's passing attack, as the Rams have surprisingly struggled against opposing tight ends. With a quarterback
Kyler Murray under center, McBride is positioned to be at or near the top of the team lead in targets and receptions once again, especially with
Marquise Brown (heel) questionable and rookie
Michael Wilson (shoulder) out. Due to his elite involvement in the offense, McBride projects as a solid option at the position and should be viewed as a TE1 on volume alone.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals wideout
Rondale Moore has finished with at least 43 receiving yards in each of his last two games while grabbing a long touchdown in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. In Week 12, Moore and the Cardinals passing attack will face off against the L.A. Rams. Even though Moore is beginning to show some fantasy signs of life with quarterback
Kyler Murray back under center, he'll have to step it up in Week 12, as the Rams boast a top-10 pass defense. Additionally, teammate
Marquise Brown (heel) is listed as questionable for this game and rookie
Michael Wilson (shoulder) is out. If Brown doesn't play, Moore could see additional coverage and struggle to be fantasy-relevant. That uncertainty alone makes it tough to view as anything more than a WR3/flex play heading into Week 12.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
James Conner will look to keep the good times rolling in Week 12 against the L.A. Rams. In his second performance in Week 11 after coming back from injured reserve (knee), Conner cleared the 60-yard mark and got reintegrated into the team's passing game. Conner also reestablished himself as the top option in the Arizona rushing attack, as all the other backs on the roster totaled one carry. The Rams, despite having a top-10 pass defense, are simply mediocre against the rush, ranking 18th. This could open up some running lanes for Conner and give him a chance to make a significant impact. It's not out of the realm of possibility for Conner to accumulate over 100 yards in this matchup, thus making him an RB2 with upside.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray put up average numbers in the team's 21-16 Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans. Kyler connected with eight receivers overall and rushed for one touchdown while passing for another. Despite the solid numbers, Murray and the rest of the Cardinals' offense will face off against the L.A. Rams in Week 12. While the Rams haven't been spectacular, they have been good against the pass, ranking 9th overall. On the flip side, L.A. ranks 18th against the rush, which should give Murray some opportunities to post solid rushing stats. Even though Murray should still be able to lead the Arizona offense down the field, there is a chance the Rams will be able to keep him from having an outstanding fantasy day. As such, Murray has to be considered a high-upside QB2.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado (toe) and wide receiver
Zach Pascal (hamstring) remained limited for a third consecutive practice on Friday. They are officially listed as questionable for Week 12 versus the Los Angeles Rams. Neither player was able to suit up last weekend, but they're at least pushing to play in a key divisional battle. At the wide receiver position,
Michael Wilson (shoulder) has been ruled out while
Marquise Brown (heel) is questionable after missing two practices. Therefore, having Pascal active would be huge for this Arizona squad looking to remain productive on offense. Fantasy managers should check back for confirmation on the Cardinals' injury report 90 minutes before kickoff Sunday.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marquise Brown (heel) missed a second consecutive practice on Friday. Although his status has been trending in the wrong direction, he is officially listed as questionable to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 12. With
Michael Wilson (shoulder) already ruled out, Arizona cannot afford to also lose Brown for this divisional clash. Nevertheless, fantasy managers must prepare a backup plan in the event that the 26-year-old isn't able to play. We should receive confirmation on his status 90 minutes before kickoff Sunday.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receivers
Marquise Brown (heel) and
Michael Wilson (shoulder) did not participate in practice on Thursday. It's worth noting that Brown actually saw his status decline after logging a limited session Wednesday. This update to the injury report is bad news for the Cardinals' passing attack as they prepare for Week 12 versus the Los Angeles Rams. Both receivers are trending in the wrong direction for Sunday's game. If they can't play,
Rondale Moore and
Trey McBride would be in line for a hefty workload.

Emari Demercado (toe) and wide receiver
Zach Pascal (hamstring) remained limited for the second consecutive practice on Thursday. Both players sat out Week 11 but are pushing to return this week versus the Los Angeles Rams. With that said, neither Demercado nor Pascal are on the fantasy radar at the moment. They remain buried on the depth chart at their respective positions and would only emerge as viable fantasy options if injuries occur ahead of them.
--Andersen Pickard - RotoBallerSource: Josh Weinfuss
11 months agoArizona Cardinals rookie running back
Emari Demercado (toe) was limited in practice to begin Week 12 preparations on Wednesday. Demercado also put in a couple limited practices last week but still missed his third straight game in the Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans. If he can upgrade to a full practice session on Thursday or Friday, the 24-year-old will have a good shot at being active once again on game day this Sunday versus the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. The last time we saw Demercado he was serving as Arizona's starting running back. However,
James Conner is now back from Injured Reserve and is operating as the clear bell-cow back, which will leave little else for Demercado and others in Arizona's backfield. Demercado won't have any standalone fantasy value if he's back this weekend.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marquise Brown (heel) finds himself on the Week 12 injury report after being listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Zach Pascal (hamstring) was also limited. The injury shouldn't keep Brown from playing this weekend versus the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, but it's something worth watching as we get closer to Sunday. The 26-year-old has actually gotten worse in two games since quarterback
Kyler Murray returned from Injured Reserve, catching three of nine targets for just 46 scoreless yards. Murray has taken more of a liking to targeting
Rondale Moore and tight end
Trey McBride so far. Brown should be able to rebound eventually, although he had just four catches for 34 yards in the first game against LA on Oct. 15.
