12 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride hauled in eight catches for 89 yards and a touchdown in the team's 24-10 Week 13 win over Pittsburgh. McBride has arrived, as he had six more catches, six more targets, and 68 more receiving yards than any other player in the Arizona offense. It was an excellent performance highlighted by three catches of at least 15 yards, including a five-yard touchdown just before halftime. Since quarterback
Kyler Murray returned, McBride has at least 60 receiving yards in three of four contests and appears to be attempting to make a run at upper-tier status for the position by the end of the year. McBride and the rest of the Cardinals will have a Week 14 bye before a tough Week 15 showdown against the 49ers.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
James Conner carried the rock 25 times for 105 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 24-10 Week 13 win over the Steelers. Conner topped 20 carries for just the second time on the season and was able to turn in a strong effort against his former team. His outing was highlighted by a long gain of 29 yards with a pair of touchdowns of one and nine yards out to cap off the stellar day. Conner and the rest of the Arizona offense will face a much stiffer test against the 49ers in Week 15 after returning from their Week 14 bye. He should remain an RB2 for that matchup.

12 months agoArizona quarterback
Kyler Murray completed 13 of 23 passes for 145 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions in Sunday's 24-10 Week 13 win over the Steelers. He also had nine rushes for 20 yards. Murray didn't exactly post great numbers, as the Cardinals leaned on the run game more than usual to dispatch Pittsburgh. This game was odd in that it included two rain delays, so the mediocre stat line wasn't unusual. Despite the conditions, Murray led his team to victory and added his sixth touchdown in the campaign. Arizona will be on bye in Week 14 before taking on the 49ers in a tough Week 15 contest, and Murray should maintain his status as a high-end QB2 for that matchup.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado (neck) didn't return to Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The 24-year-old took a hard shot early in the contest. While he cleared a concussion evaluation, he was ruled out with a neck injury. Demercado missed three games ahead of the Week 12 meeting with the Rams because of a toe injury. However, he could be facing another extended absence, especially since it's a neck injury. But with
James Conner atop the depth chart, it will be tough for Demercado to receive routine touches moving ahead.

Marquise Brown (heel) is officially questionable to return against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. At the time of his departure, Brown had commanded three targets but did not have a reception.
Michael Wilson (shoulder) is also out, so the Cardinals will lean on
Trey McBride,
Rondale Moore, and
Greg Dortch in the passing game until Brown can return.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride (groin), who was listed as questionable for Week 13, is officially active on Sunday and will play against the Steelers in Pittsburgh. It was reported Saturday that McBride was expected to be available for this contest, and now it's official. Fantasy managers need to leave the 24-year-old locked into their starting fantasy lineups this weekend as a strong TE1 option. McBride only has one touchdown on the year in 12 games played, but in the last three games with quarterback
Kyler Murray back from Injured Reserve, he's posted 20 receptions on 25 targets for 234 yards. The Steelers defense hasn't been the friendliest for opposing tight ends in 2023, but McBride needs to be started regardless.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marquise Brown (heel) is officially active for the Week 13 game on Sunday against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Meanwhile, fellow wideout
Zach Pascal (personal) has been ruled out. Brown didn't practice all week but took a questionable tag into Sunday morning. The 26-year-old was expected to play, and fantasy managers will be hoping that he can build on a nice performance in last week's blowout loss to the Los Angeles Rams, when he had six catches for 88 yards on 12 targets. Brown did very little in quarterback
Kyler Murray's first two games back from Injured Reserve, but last week's performance gives hope that Brown will continue gaining chemistry with Murray in the final six regular season games of 2023.

12 months agoAccording to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride (groin) is likely good to go for Sunday's game versus the Steelers. He missed practice on Wednesday before logging limited sessions on Thursday and Friday, earning him a questionable tag for Week 13. But it appears
Kyler Murray will have two of his top receiving options, with
Marquise Brown (heel) also expected to be on the field. Nevertheless, McBride has been more involved of late, catching 33 of his 44 targets for 351 yards and a touchdown in his last five games, giving him credibility for all fantasy lineups.

12 months agoAccording to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marquise Brown (heel) is projected to suit up for Sunday's game versus the Steelers. The 26-year-old has battled a lingering heel injury and missed some practices during the week. Yet, he battled the same issue ahead of the Week 12 clash with the Rams but still put together one of his best performances of the season by catching six of his 12 targets for 88 yards. That said, Brown hasn't been the most reliable fantasy asset throughout the 2023-24 campaign. But there's no denying his upside, so fantasy managers should classify him as a flex option, at the very least, for Week 13.

12 months agoThe Philadelphia Eagles are expected to have interest in free-agent tight end
Zach Ertz. The Arizona Cardinals cut him after he requested his release this week, and he officially cleared waivers on Friday, so he can now sign with any team on the open market. The 33-year-old veteran hasn't played since Week 7 due to a quadriceps injury but he should be able to play down the stretch and wants a shot at another Super Bowl ring. It would be a reunion for both sides, as Ertz played the first nine seasons of his career in Philadelphia. Starting tight end
Dallas Goedert is getting close to returning from a fractured forearm he suffered in Week 9, so the Eagles wouldn't be the best landing spot for Ertz in terms of fantasy potential to end the 2023 season.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals kicker
Matt Prater could be a steaming option heading into Week 13. With the re-emergence of quarterback
Kyler Murray leading the Arizona passing game, Prater has become a viable fantasy option once again. However, In Week 12, Prater put up a goose egg, missing his only field goal attempt from 56 yards out. In his defense, the Cardinals' offense was anemic and did not call on him for an extra point in the entire game. In other words, fantasy managers should throw Week 12 out the window, as Prater has kicked a solid 19 field goals on the year. The veteran kicker has missed just four kicks all season and remains a decent option, despite the lack of consistency from the Arizona offense. Managers in need of kicking help should consider him for Week 13.

12 months agoThe Arizona Cardinals will face off against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 13, and their defense isn't worth rostering for this matchup. Early in the season, the Cardinals were near the top in the NFL when it came to sacks, but now are tied for 11th and have continued to struggle as the season has gone along. They are ranked 29th against the rush as well and will go up against a Pittsburgh offense that just put up over 400 total yards in its Week 12 win. If there is a positive, it's that the Arizona passing defense has improved from bad to mediocre, currently ranking 16th in the league. Either way, this is a unit best avoided entirely for Week 13.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals wideout
Rondale Moore recorded two catches on just three targets for 35 yards in the team's 37-14 loss to the Rams in Week 12. Moore had no problem securing offensive snaps (53 of 71), but couldn't crack 40 yards from scrimmage for the eighth time this year. He also has only three total catches over his last two games combined. To that end, Moore continues to be a non-factor for fantasy purposes. Despite his big-play potential, Moore is simply not doing enough, and the outlook for Week 13 appears even more bleak, as the Cardinals will take on a solid pass defense in the Steelers. As a result, Moore is best left on the fantasy bench, unless
Marquise Brown (heel) is unable to play.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch has reemerged in the Cardinals' passing game over the last two weeks. With the injury to rookie
Michael Wilson (shoulder), Dortch has started to see an increase in playing time. In his last two games, Dortch has a combined 9-103-1 line on 17 targets. With Wilson once again out for Week 13, Dortch could be in line for increased playing time as he's also outplayed teammate
Rondale Moore. The matchup, however, isn't a particularly great one, as the Steelers rank as one of the best pass defenses in the league. To that end, fantasy managers should view Dortch as nothing more than a WR4 or potential dart-throw.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
Michael Carter debuted in Week 12 against the L.A. Rams less than two weeks after joining his new team. He appeared to be the No. 2 RB in the backfield behind incumbent
James Conner as he finished with just two fewer carries. In Week 13, Carter and the Arizona offense face off against a Pittsburgh defense allowing the seventh-fewest rushing yards per game to opposing running backs. With that in mind, the team could utilize Carter's passing-catching skills to help offset the defense and keep Conner healthy. As such, fantasy managers can view Carter as an RB3/4 with the potential to deliver some viable fantasy production.
