12 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.Source: ESPN.COM
12 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.Source: ESPN.COM
12 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.Source: Darren Urban
1 year 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.Source: Darren Urban

1 year 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.Source: Josh Weinfuss
1 year agoArizona Cardinals running back 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.Source: Josh Weinfuss
1 year 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.Source: ESPN.com - Josh Weinfuss

1 year 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.Source: ESPN.com - Josh Weinfuss
1 year 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.Source: ESPN.COM
1 year 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.Source: ESPN.COM
1 year 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.Source: ESPN.COM
1 year agoArizona Cardinals running back 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.Source: ESPN.COM
1 year 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.Source: ESPN.COM
