11 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride corralled five of seven targets for 43 yards in the team's 21-16 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. While McBride continued to be a focal point of the Arizona offense, he wasn't able to match his production from the previous two weeks. Despite the quiet day, he still finished second on the team in receptions and targets while coming in third in receiving yards, and the young tight end has at least five receptions in three of his past four games. He should remain a quality piece of the Arizona passing attack and will look to get back on track in a Week 12 showdown against the division-rival Rams.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marquise Brown brought in just two of five targets for a measly 18 yards in the team's 21-16 loss to the Houston Texans. For the second straight week, Hollywood had a major fantasy clunker, as he's struggled recently against two top pass defenses. In the last two games he's played with quarterback
Kyler Murray, Brown has been able to corral just three of nine targets. While the last two games have been bad, the upcoming Week 12 matchup will be against the division-rival Rams, who haven't been nearly as good against the pass. Brown will look to exploit that to his advantage and remains a solid WR2.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals wideout
Rondale Moore turned his only target into 48 yards with one touchdown in the team's 21-16 Week 11 loss to the Texans. His lone reception on the day led to a first-quarter score to help give the Cardinals an early lead, which they would later relinquish. In the past two games with quarterback
Kyler Murray at the helm, Moore has started to show signs of life. He's seen nine targets with Murray under center, matching his combined total from the previous three weeks. In Week 12, Moore will look to continue his decent play in an inter-divisional showdown against the Rams.

James Conner rushed 14 times for 62 yards and brought in two of three targets for one yard in the team's 21-16 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday. He also recovered a fumble. This was his second solid showing since returning from the IR due to a knee injury, and he's averaging a healthy 4.4 yards per carry. He's also cleared the 60-yard mark on the ground in each of the two games since his return and is also continuing to make his mark in the passing game. Conner will look to keep the good times rolling heading into a Week 12 face-off against the division-rival Rams.

11 months agoArizona quarterback
Kyler Murray completed 20-of-30 passes for 214 yards and one interception in the team's Week 11 loss to the Houston Texans. He also added 51 rushing yards with one touchdown on seven carries. Despite the tough matchup, Murray looked like his old self and was able to connect with eight different targets overall. It's clear he's having no trouble shaking off the rust from his 11-month absence, and will look to keep the momentum going in Week 12 against the division-rival Rams.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
Michael Carter, who was claimed off waivers from the New York Jets earlier in the week, is a healthy scratch and will not make his team debut in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. There was a chance that Carter was going to be active on Sunday with rookie
Emari Demercado (toe) being ruled out for a third straight game, but that won't be the case. Carter still needs to learn a new offense and get settled in, but he could make his Arizona debut in a Week 12 contest versus the Los Angeles Rams. With Demercado out of action yet again,
Keaontay Ingram and
Tony Jones Jr. will vie for change-of-pace duties behind bell-cow back
James Conner against Houston.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver
Michael Wilson (shoulder) is officially inactive for the Week 11 contest in Houston on Sunday against the Texans. The 23-year-old pass-catcher will not have a chance to put up solid numbers this weekend in the second game with quarterback
Kyler Murray under center. When healthy, Wilson will be an intriguing WR4/flex in deeper fantasy leagues the rest of the season, but he's been dealing with a nagging shoulder injury this month (he also missed Week 9). With
Zach Pascal (hamstring) also out this weekend,
Rondale Moore and
Greg Dortch will have more opportunities to make noise behind No. 1 receiver
Marquise Brown.

11 months agoAccording to ESPN's Adam Schefter, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson (shoulder) isn't expected to suit up on Sunday against the Texans. The wideout has dealt with a shoulder injury of late, keeping him out of the lineup for the Week 9 showdown with the Cleveland Browns. However, he returned in Week 10 versus the Atlanta Falcons, finishing with three catches for 34 yards. Nevertheless, while Wilson hasn't been a consistent fantasy option all year, he's still one of the Cardinals' top receivers. Assuming he is officially ruled out,
Rondale Moore and
Trey McBride could see more targets behind
Marquise Brown.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
Tony Jones Jr. has been elevated to the active roster ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Houston Texans. The Cardinals are without
Emari Demercado (toe), so Jones has been added to the roster as insurance. However, Jones is unlikely to have a big role in the offense with
James Conner back in the picture. This season, Jones has 85 rushing yards on 23 attempts with two touchdowns in six games. He could see a few snaps on Sunday, but it probably won't be enough to warrant streaming Jones in any fantasy formats.

11 months agoThe Arizona Cardinals ruled rookie running back
Emari Demercado (toe) out for the third straight game in Week 11 as they get set to face the Houston Texans, which increases the chances of recently acquired
Michael Carter making his debut for the team. The Cardinals claimed Carter off waivers from the New York Jets this week. The 24-year-old had 639 rushing yards and four touchdowns in his rookie season in 2021 but fell out of favor when the Jets drafted
Breece Hall a year ago. Now in Arizona, he has a chance to eventually become a passing-down option in the Cardinals' backfield. However, there's no question that
James Conner is the team's bell-cow back as long as he's healthy. Carter is worth a flier in deep PPR leagues, but he's also going to need some time to learn a new offense.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals kicker
Matt Prater should be considered a reliable starting option in Week 11. With quarterback
Kyler Murray now directing the Arizona offense, Prater should see more scoring opportunities than in the past. In Week 10, he connected on all four of his field goal attempts and also made his only point-after try. He continues to be one of the most reliable kickers in the league, hitting over 90% of his field goals and extra points. Currently, he ranks 26th (6.4 points per game) among NFL placekickers and should see multiple opportunities with what could be a high-scoring affair. Managers can start him with confidence in Week 11.

11 months agoThe Arizona Cardinals defense isn't worth a Week 11 start against the Houston Texans. The Cardinals have allowed the second-highest passer rating in the league and also rank 30th in quarterback pressure rate. That does not bode well going up against the probable rookie of the year in quarterback
C.J. Stroud, who has been putting up record numbers for a first-year quarterback. Add to it the fact that the Arizona defense ranks 30th overall and the odds are good this could be a high-scoring affair. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a defense in Week 11.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride should be considered a TE1 in Week 11 against the Houston Texans. In Week 10, McBride caught eight of nine targets for 131 yards and showcased his elite talent. Since Week 8, McBride ranks second in target share, third in air-yard share, and second in YPRR among all tight ends. He has also been at or near the top in almost all other receiving metrics. In Week 11, he goes up against a Houston Texans defense that has allowed the most fantasy points per game and the fifth-most receiving yards per game to the position. The matchup is a juicy one, and McBride should have a field day in this game. He remains a starting option at the position for Week 11.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals wideout
Rondale Moore recorded five catches (on eight targets) for 43 yards in the team's Week 10 win against the Atlanta Falcons. The return of quarterback
Kyler Murray (knee) allowed Moore to obtain season-highs in receptions, targets, and receiving yards. Murray also provided a boost to Moore's fantasy output, as before this game Moore struggled to get anything going and had been outshined by rookie
Michael Wilson (shoulder). In Week 11, Moore will go up against the Houston Texans, who have been mediocre against the pass. While the potential is there with Murray now back in the fold, until he shows additional consistency, Moore should stay on the fantasy bench. However, he will be a bit more attractive as a deep-league flex if Wilson is unable to play.

11 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
James Conner (knee) came back from Injured Reserve last week and turned 16 carries into 73 yards in the team's 25-23 win against the Atlanta Falcons. Upon his return, he immediately overtook the Cardinals backfield, as no other back received more than three carries. Even though he missed the last four games, Conner still boasts the fifth-best explosive run rate, the 10th-highest missed tackle rate, and the seventh-best yards-after-contact rate in the league. Despite these impressive numbers, in Week 11 Conner will go up against the Houston Texans. Since Week 5, the Houston defense has been one of the best in the NFL against the run. They allow the fourth-lowest explosive run rate and the ninth-lowest yards after contact per attempt. Conner may have difficulty finding some running room, and as such, remains an RB2.
