4 weeks agoArizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. continued to impress in Week 3, building on his breakout performance from the previous week by scoring a touchdown in Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. He was the focal point of the Cardinals' game plan, leading the team with 11 targets. Despite drawing significant attention from the defense, the 22-year-old finished the day with five receptions for 64 yards. While Harrison and quarterback
Kyler Murray missed a few plays, their chemistry is expected to improve with more time on the field together. Harrison remains a must-start, and fantasy managers should feel confident in him, especially heading into next week's matchup against a vulnerable Washington Commanders secondary.

4 weeks agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride (head) finished Sunday's loss to the Lions by amassing three catches for 25 yards. He was targeted six times on the day. However, the 24-year-old had another underwhelming performance for fantasy managers. Unfortunately, McBride took a hit in the contest and is being evaluated for a concussion. Of course, this type of injury is a concern for fantasy managers, especially since it could keep him off the field for the Week 4 meeting with the Commanders. If McBride isn't available,
Elijah Higgins and
Tip Reiman will do their best to fill the void in the lineup.

4 weeks agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch (hamstring) is officially active for Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. He had been listed as questionable entering the weekend, but there was a growing sense that he would suit up. Dortch is expected to operate as the Cardinals' No. 3 receiver behind
Marvin Harrison Jr. and
Michael Wilson, and he'll also compete for touches with running back
James Conner and tight end
Trey McBride. Dortch has the potential to be a target hog, especially in the short-yardage passing game. However, he's only on the fantasy radar in deep leagues.

Greg Dortch (hamstring) is expected to be active for Week 3 versus the Detroit Lions, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Dortch caught six of eight targets back in Week 1 but commanded just two targets on a 35 percent snap share last weekend. He is Arizona's No. 3 wide receiver behind
Marvin Harrison Jr. and
Michael Wilson, and he also has to compete with tight end
Trey McBride and running back
James Conner. Dortch can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues this week.

4 weeks agoArizona Cardinals kicker
Matt Prater is off to a strong start in his 18th NFL season, currently ranked as the eighth-best kicker in fantasy football. In Week 3, the Cardinals face the Detroit Lions, making Prater a viable streaming option. Arizona's offense has been efficient, frequently putting themselves in scoring positions. The veteran has capitalized on these opportunities, hitting all four of his field goal attempts and remaining perfect on all seven extra-point attempts. While the Lions' defense poses a greater challenge than the Cardinals' previous opponents, Arizona should still generate scoring opportunities. With no weather concerns and Prater's consistency, he's a low-end starting kicker for managers needing a streamer, rostered in just 4% of leagues.

1 month agoThe Arizona Cardinals defense is coming off an impressive 12-point fantasy performance fueled by five sacks. The Cardinals will look to build off of that performance when they host the Detroit Lions this week. While they've exceeded expectations to start the season, and the Lions offense has somewhat underperformed, this doesn't make the Cardinals a reliable fantasy option in Week 3. Detroit's offense ranks as the fifth-toughest matchup for opposing defenses, and the Lions' strong offensive front could exploit Arizona's weaknesses on the defensive line. With the Cardinals' defense rostered in just 0.7% of leagues, fantasy managers should avoid them and leave them on the waiver wire for Week 3.

1 month agoAfter scoring a touchdown in the Cardinals' season opener, Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson wasn't very involved in Week 2 against the Rams. So far, he has recorded just three catches for 36 yards and a touchdown this season. The positive takeaway for fantasy managers is Wilson's snap count—he was on the field for 80% of the team's snaps in Week 1 and 68% in Week 2. Wilson will look to be more involved in Sunday's matchup against the Detroit Lions. Wilson will have a noticeable size advantage over the Lions' defensive backs, which could set him up for another scoring opportunity. However, given his uncertain role in the offense, managers will likely want to avoid starting him in Week 3, as he'd be a touchdown-dependent flex option. Currently rostered in only 12% of leagues, Wilson isn't a player fantasy managers need to rush to add for Week 3.

1 month agoAfter a disappointing Week 1, where Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. saw just three targets, his Week 2 performance quickly eased any concerns for fantasy managers. Harrison Jr. hauled in four catches for 130 yards and two touchdowns, making him the highest-scoring wide receiver in fantasy for the week. The No. 4 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft will look to build on last week's performance against the Detroit Lions on Sunday. In Week 3, he should have a clear advantage over the Lions' cornerbacks, especially rookie Terrion Arnold, who has struggled early in the season. With a significant size advantage, the Cardinals may look to isolate Harrison Jr. in the red zone to exploit mismatches. He remains a game-breaking presence for Arizona's offense, and fantasy managers should confidently have him locked into their starting lineups for Week 3.

1 month agoArizona Cardinals running back
James Conner turned in another strong performance in Week 2; the veteran back will look to continue his success against the Detroit Lions in Week 3. He seems poised to continue thriving under head coach Jonathan Gannon in Arizona. Since Gannon took over, Conner has averaged over 80 rushing yards per game, a trend that appears set to continue in 2024. As the Cardinals' workhorse, Conner handles more than 20 touches per game to start the season. Impressively, he's averaging 4.5 red zone touches per game and accounts for 80% of the Cardinals' red zone rushing attempts. With the complete trust of the coaching staff, particularly in scoring situations, Conner is expected to remain heavily involved in what should be a closely contested NFC matchup against Detroit. He remains a must-start in all fantasy formats.

1 month agoArizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray finished as the top quarterback in fantasy football in Week 2, and he'll aim to replicate that success in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions. This is a favorable matchup for the Cardinals, as the Lions' secondary has been inconsistent early in the season. While Detroit's pass rush has been dominant, it could actually play into Murray's strengths by forcing him out of the pocket, creating more opportunities for him to run. In Week 2,
Baker Mayfield rushed for 34 yards and a touchdown against the Lions. With increased rushing potential and a vulnerable secondary, fantasy managers should feel confident in Murray delivering another stellar performance in Week 3.

1 month agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Elijah Higgins caught an 18-yard touchdown pass in their 41-10 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. On a play early in the second quarter, quarterback
Kyler Murray evaded four would-be tacklers and then launched an 18-yard strike to Higgins, who made a sliding catch in the back of the end zone to reel in the throw. The score was the third touchdown in as many drives to start the game for the Cardinals. Higgins played 36 of Arizona's 66 offensive snaps but did not see another target. With
Trey McBride firmly entrenched as the team's top tight end, Higgins can't be relied on to be a viable fantasy asset week-to-week. Despite the impressive reception, he can be left on the wire for Week 3 when the Cardinals host the Detroit Lions.

1 month agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride was in the right place at just the right time when running back
James Conner fumbled at the Rams' five-yard line in the fourth quarter of the two teams' Week 2 showdown. McBride fell on top of the loose ball as it bounced into the end zone, giving Arizona their fifth touchdown of the day in their 41-10 rout of the Rams. A key component of the Cardinals' passing attack, McBride led the team with six catches, catching each ball thrown his way and gaining 67 receiving yards in the process. Fantasy managers fortunate enough to roster McBride can keep him locked in for Arizona's Week 3 matchup against the Detroit Lions, who allowed the ninth-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends last season.
