4 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride finished the day with seven catches for 70 yards in the Week 14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. There is no doubt that McBride is the focal point of the Cardinals' passing attack. McBride logged 14 targets, leading the team in that category for the game. He has yet to find the end zone through the air this season, but he continues to dominate targets for the Cardinals and remains one of the top tight ends in fantasy football. The Cardinals passing attack should have an advantageous matchup with the New England Patriots next week.

James Conner had an efficient performance in the Week 14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Conner's official stat line was 18 carries for 90 yards and four receptions for 32 yards and a touchdown. The Cardinals were able to create more rushing lanes compared to their first matchup against the Seahawks, although the rushing attack still wasn't at its best. Conner's activity in the passing game was evident once again as he caught all of his targets. Conner's heavy workload continued with yet another 20+ touch game. He should deliver another strong performance next week when the Cardinals host the New England Patriots in what should be a "get right" game for the Cardinals' offense.

4 months agoArizona Cardinals rookie running back
Trey Benson did not contribute much in the Week 14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Although it seemed like Benson was due for more involvement in the Cardinals' offense, that simply has not been the case. Benson totaled two carries for 15 yards and added one reception for four yards. Until Benson puts together multiple games of fantasy-relevant production, he remains a handcuff for lead back
James Conner and not much else.

4 months agoArizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray delivered an average fantasy performance in the Week 14 loss to the Seahawks. Murray's official stat line was 25 completions on 38 attempts for 259 yards, two passing touchdowns, and two interceptions, while also adding 16 rushing yards. Murray's interception struggles since the bye week continued in this game, as he threw interceptions on back-to-back passes in the first quarter, making it challenging for the Cardinals to stay competitive. Despite keeping the ball clean through the first 10 weeks of the season, Murray has thrown at least one interception in each of his last three games, more than doubling his season total. However, Murray was still able to bounce back from the two interceptions, and the Cardinals' offense looked better in the second half. It was just a little too late for the Cardinals in this matchup. The Cardinals will host the New England Patriots in a Week 15 game, giving Murray great bounce-back potential.

4 months agoThe Arizona Cardinals defense is a low-end starting option in fantasy as they host the Seattle Seahawks. Despite the loss the last time these teams played, the Cardinals defense performed well in that matchup. They recorded five sacks, forced an interception, and allowed just 10 points. This game will now be played in Arizona, with the home crowd supporting the defense. The Cardinals defense has started to come alive and should be trusted by managers in this divisional matchup.

4 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride should be viewed as a high-end TE1 in Week 14 when the Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks. McBride is on a hot streak right now, posting back-to-back weeks with 12 receptions. He is the focal point of the Cardinals' passing game and has produced regardless of matchup. The only downside to McBride's season has been a lack of touchdown production. However, his target share and usage are high enough to still make him a top-three tight end in fantasy. McBride is a no-doubt starting tight end in fantasy and should be viewed that way for the rest of the season.

4 months agoArizona Cardinals second-year wide receiver
Michael Wilson should be viewed as a risky streaming option in Week 14 in the Cardinals' home matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson has quietly become a rosterable player in fantasy football, but he is still lacking some consistency. Wilson is solidified as the Cardinals' second wide receiver but falls behind
Marvin Harrison Jr. and
Trey McBride in the target hierarchy. Wilson made a couple of big plays in the Cardinals' last matchup against the Seahawks and has been thriving off a lack of attention from opposing defenses. Until Wilson establishes better consistency, he remains a streaming flex option and should be viewed as a risky choice in Week 14.

4 months agoArizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. should get WR2 consideration in Week 14 when the Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks. Harrison Jr. had a solid game last week, scoring the Cardinals' lone touchdown. He also saw his largest target share of the season, receiving 12 targets. With the Cardinals in pursuit of winning the NFC West division, it is expected that they will empty the playbook and come out swinging in this matchup. Taking more shots down the field has been something the Cardinals have needed to incorporate into this offense, and Harrison Jr. is the best option to receive those downfield shots. With Harrison Jr.'s usage increasing, managers should feel much more comfortable with him in the lineup.

4 months agoArizona Cardinals rookie running back
Trey Benson should not be considered for starting lineups in fantasy in Week 14. The Cardinals will have a home divisional matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in what will be a pivotal game for the NFC West. Benson saw an uptick in usage before the Week 11 bye, but post-bye week, that trend has not continued. Benson has had just seven total carries over the last two weeks. With Benson's usage not at a reliable level, he remains a handcuff for
James Conner but is not a fantasy starter.

James Conner should be viewed as a high-end RB2 in Week 14 in the Cardinals' divisional battle with the Seattle Seahawks. Conner struggled on the ground in the previous matchup with the Seahawks, recording his season-low of eight rushing yards; however, he remained productive, catching five passes for 41 yards in that game. Conner is the workhorse of this Cardinals offense, and his usage rate is among the highest of all running backs in the NFL. With the Cardinals needing to win this game to position themselves well for a playoff spot, we can expect them to rely on Conner heavily. Fantasy managers should insert Conner into their starting lineups if he isn't already there in Week 14.

4 months agoArizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray should be considered a high-end quarterback play in Week 14 when the Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks. This matchup will be the season's biggest game for the Cardinals as they position themselves to try to reach the playoffs. With the stakes of this game as high as they get for a regular-season matchup, we can expect the Cardinals' offense to completely empty the playbook, which would include utilizing Murray's rushing ability. Murray has struggled in his last two games, especially in their previous matchup against the Seahawks, making him due for a huge bounce-back. The offense made strides a week ago but settled for too many field goals to get the win. With the expected increase in rushing and a sense of urgency from the Cardinals, fantasy managers should trust Murray in the starting lineup.

Michael Wilson had another quietly productive day in the Week 13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Wilson's official stat line was five receptions for 55 yards. As teams devote all their resources to stopping tight end
Trey McBride, rookie receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr., and running back
James Conner, Wilson has benefited from single coverage and has proven he's capable of making big plays. If not already, Wilson should be rostered in all leagues given the Cardinals' upcoming schedule. Wilson is a potential streaming option as a flex in deeper leagues moving forward.

4 months agoArizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. found his way to the end zone for the seventh time this season in the Week 13 loss against the Vikings. Harrison Jr.'s final stat line was five receptions for 60 yards and a touchdown. Harrison Jr. was responsible for the Cardinals' only touchdown, as the offense is still working to shake off the cobwebs from their week of rest two weeks ago. Harrison Jr. has had an impressive rookie season, but one thing he has already proven is that he has elite ability at finding the end zone. His seven touchdowns put him on par with the type of production Cardinals legend Larry Fitzgerald had in his first season with the team, which should be a positive sign for fantasy managers heading into the playoff stretch. Harrison Jr. is likely a WR2 play in Week 14 when the Cardinals travel back home to take on the Seattle Seahawks.

4 months agoArizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride continued his historic campaign in the Week 13 loss against the Minnesota Vikings. Ten or more catches have become the norm for McBride, as he tallied 12 receptions for 96 yards on the road in Minnesota. McBride has emerged as one of the premier safety blankets in the NFL and a target that
Kyler Murray knows he can rely on at any moment. The only concern fantasy managers have had with McBride is his lack of touchdown production; however, his high-volume target share overshadows the lack of touchdowns. McBride is a no-brainer start every single week in fantasy and should remain in the lineup when the Cardinals take on the Seattle Seahawks at home in Week 14.

4 months agoArizona Cardinals running back
James Conner got back on track to a degree in the Week 13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. Conner rushed for 68 yards on 17 carries while adding 13 receiving yards on three catches. It was another 20-plus touch game for Conner, and he has the full confidence of being the workhorse of the organization after signing a two-year contract extension this past weekend. With the contract noise behind him, confidence should be high for Conner and the Cardinals, and they will rely on him heavily as they try to push their way into the playoffs down the stretch. Conner should once again remain in the starting lineup as the Cardinals return home to take on the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14.
