11 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
James Conner (knee) has been activated from IR and will play in Week 10 on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons. Conner has been on IR since Week 6 with a knee injury but he's been trending towards being activated and playing this week for a while now. With
Emari Demercado (knee) ruled out Conner could be in line for a solid week against the Falcons. Fantasy managers who have held on to Conner should put him back in their lineups and expect RB2 numbers if the game script turns out to be favorable.

11 months agoIt didn't take long for Minnesota Vikings quarterback
Joshua Dobbs to endear himself to his new fan base after he led the team to a comeback win in Week 9 over the Atlanta Falcons after rookie
Jaren Hall suffered a concussion early in the game. Less than a week after being acquired in a trade from the Arizona Cardinals, Dobbs was forced into action with his new team and went 20-for-30 for 158 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. He added seven carries for 66 yards and a third score on the ground and also lost two fumbles. The 28-year-old has outperformed expectations all year. While he doesn't have the best matchup in Week 10 against the New Orleans Saints in his first start for Minnesota and is not expected to have All-Pro wideout
Justin Jefferson (hamstring) yet, Dobbs does give fantasy managers in superflex leagues more upside as a QB2 due to his rushing abilities.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals kicker
Matt Prater shouldn't be considered fantasy-relevant heading into the team's Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Even though Prater himself has handled the kicking duties fairly well, the offense hasn't provided him enough opportunities over the last three weeks for it to matter. While quarterback
Kyler Murray's (knee) return could change the offense for the better and turn Prater's fortunes around, until it happens Prater shouldn't be considered a reliable fantasy option. Managers in need of a kicker should look elsewhere in Week 10.

12 months agoThe Arizona Cardinals defense isn't worth a Week 10 start against the Atlanta Falcons. Even though the Falcons offense isn't great, the Cardinal's defense is currently one of the worst in the NFL. They rank 22nd in the NFL in passing yards allowed and 28th in the NFL with 26.7 points allowed per game. Four players have put up more than 100 receiving yards in a game against them this year, and they've given up a touchdown pass to 12 players on the season. From a rushing perspective, the numbers aren't much better, as they are currently 3rd worst in that arena. It all adds up to a defense ranked 28th overall and one that shouldn't be counted on to provide meaningful fantasy stats. This defense is one to completely avoid in Week 10.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride should be considered a TE1 in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons. Since Week 8, McBride has posted insane under-the-radar numbers, as he's registered a 33.3% target share, 41.7% air-yard share, and a 2.13 YPRR. That suggests elite usage, and even though rookie quarterback
Clayton Tune decided to inexplicably not use his talented tight end in Week 9, that should change in Week 10. Quarterback
Kyler Murray (knee) is expected to make his long-awaited season debut, and that alone should help McBride succeed. Add to it the fact that the Falcons have allowed the tenth-highest number of fantasy points per game to tight ends, and the opportunity is there for McBride to get back to TE1 status. Fantasy managers should start him with confidence.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals receiver
Rondale Moore has had a rough go of it so far this season and has yet to provide consistent fantasy stats. That could change, however, in Week 10, as the long-awaited debut of quarterback
Kyler Murray (knee) should be a boost to Moore's production. Add to it the fact that the Falcon's pass defense has been mediocre at best against opposing wide receivers and Moore has a chance to post decent numbers. Since the Cardinals have been somewhat creative with his skillset over the past few games, it will be interesting to see how they decide to utilize him with Murray back under center. However, without knowing Arizona's plans, Moore currently remains too risky of a fantasy option. He's best left on the fantasy bench.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marquise Brown should be considered a high-end WR2 in the team's Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Brown is currently the WR32 in all of fantasy and has had five games with WR2 or higher finishes this season, most of those with
Joshua Dobbs as his signal caller. With Dobbs no longer on the team and
Kyler Murray (knee) expected to make his long-awaited season debut, the opportunity is there for Hollywood to have a bounce-back game. Additionally, the Falcons have allowed at least three receiving touchdowns to primary receivers in the last three weeks, showcasing even more potential for Brown. Fantasy managers should view him as a WR2 with the upside for more.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
Keaontay Ingram could be a potentially sneaky fantasy play against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. While many expect
James Conner (knee) to make his anticipated return from IR, Conner did not practice on Friday and is currently listed as questionable. Even if Conner does play, Arizona will likely be cautious with his use. This could allow Ingram to get some solid work against a Falcons defense rated in the middle of the pack against the run. Additionally, with quarterback
Kyler Murray (knee) expected to make his long-awaited season debut, some running lanes could be available for Ingram to make an impact. Fantasy managers should consider Ingram an RB3/Flex play with upside for more.

12 months agoArizona quarterback
Kyler Murray (knee) will make his long-awaited season debut against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10. Murray should make an immediate impact and instantly upgrade the anemic Arizona passing game. While it remains to be seen how much running the young QB will do in his return, he at least offers hope for fantasy managers counting on production from the Cardinal pass catchers. The matchup itself is also a fairly juicy one, as Atlanta has given up the second-most passing touchdowns and allowed the fifth-highest passer rating to opposing quarterbacks since Week 5. While there is a chance Murray could be a bit rusty, his talent combined with the solid matchup should provide solid fantasy stats. Managers can consider Murray a QB1 in Week 10.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver
Michael Wilson (shoulder) was limited in practice all week and has been ruled as questionable to play on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 10 action. Wilson did not play in the Week 9 shutout loss to the Cleveland Browns, but now he appears to be on the right side of questionable in what will be quarterback
Kyler Murray's (knee) 2023 debut after suffering a torn ACL in Week 14 of last year. Wilson's return will be bad news for
Rondale Moore, who has done very little all year for fantasy managers. The 23-year-old Wilson, meanwhile, has been a much better big-play threat in his first eight NFL games, averaging 16 yards per catch on 25 receptions for 401 yards and two touchdowns. He'll be a deep-league sleeper option if he returns to the field Sunday.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals rookie running back
Emari Demercado (toe) missed practice all week and has been ruled out for the second straight game in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons. Meanwhile,
James Conner (knee) is questionable to return from Injured Reserve after missing the last four games. Conner was limited in practice all week and is "trending in the right direction" to play on Sunday. It's understandable not to expect Conner to have a huge bell-cow role if he plays this weekend, but he should still lead Arizona's backfield if he's active. If the Cardinals hold him out for a fifth straight game,
Keaontay Ingram would have some flex appeal in deeper leagues, especially with quarterback
Kyler Murray (knee) making his 2023 debut against Atlanta.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon officially named quarterback
Kyler Murray (knee) the starter for their Week 10 contest versus the Atlanta Falcons. This was the expectations all along after Murray has been practicing with the team for the last two weeks while recovering from a torn ACL he suffered in Week 14 of last year. He will be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list to make his 2023 debut this Sunday. The 26-year-old will take over for rookie
Clayton Tune and will remain Arizona's starter for the second half of the season as long as he remains healthy. Murray gives the Cardinals offense much more upside, but fantasy managers may want to expect some rest after such a long layoff. He still deserves to be rostered in all fantasy formats, though.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said that running back
James Conner (knee) is "trending in the right direction" to return from Injured Reserve and play in Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday. Conner has already missed the required four games on IR and was limited in practice on Wednesday and Thursday. The 28-year-old will most likely be listed as questionable on Friday's final injury report, but he appears to be on the right track to be officially activated from IR on Saturday and play on Sunday. It's also worth noting that rookie
Emari Demercado (toe) hasn't practiced in the last two weeks and looks likely to miss another game, so Conner's return would come at a good time for the Cardinals. He'll be Arizona's lead back when he returns, but he could have his workload limited in his first game back. UPDATE: Conner is officially questionable to play in Week 10.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson (shoulder) remained as a limited participant during Thursday's practice session. This now marks back-to-back days that Wilson has been limited in practice. That gives him a good shot at being active for the Week 10 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. His return would certainly be a boost for
Kyler Murray (knee) who is expected to make his season debut on Sunday. Wilson could have some low-end WR3 appeal in PPR formats, assuming he's able to suit up. Fantasy managers should check back after Friday's practice for another update on his status.

12 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
Damien Williams (foot) has been released by the organization with an injury settlement. This doesn't come as a surprise with
James Conner (knee) expected to make his return this week. That means, Williams short lived time with the Cardinals is coming to an end. This season, Williams has totaled 43 yards on 11 carries and was held without a score. It's uncertain if the 31-year-old will get a chance elsewhere, but he's not expected to have fantasy value even he signs with another team.
