Arizona Cardinals Transactions

Tuesday, January 10

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins is expected to be traded this upcoming offseason. The organization appears ready to move on from the 30-year-old who has two years left on his current contract. The fact that Hopkins wants a new deal is possibly why the team wants to trade him this offseason. Regardless, the superstar wideout should be one of the best available receivers this offseason. He finished with 64 receptions, 717 yards, and three touchdowns through nine games this season. Those don't seem like great numbers, but Hopkins was suspended early in the season and dealt with a knee issue late in the year. He still should be able to produce above average numbers on whatever team he lands with next season.

		The Arizona Cardinals fired head coach Kliff Kingsbury on Monday after the team went 4-13 this year, according to sources. Just 10 months ago, Kingsbury signed a contract extension that was scheduled to take him through the 2027 season. The Cardinals have never had a head coach that has lasted longer than six years while the team has existed for over 100 years. With Kingsbury now gone, defensive coordinator Vance Joseph appears to be the leading candidate to take over the job, although Arizona will surely bring in external candidates to interview for the position. Behind the scenes, owner Michael Bidwell and Kingsbury reportedly never had a very good relationship, and Kingsbury's relationship with quarterback Kyler Murray had also soured.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Robbie Anderson (back) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for the Week 18 regular season finale on Sunday against the San Francisco 49ers. With DeAndre Hopkins (knee) also ruled out for the second straight game, Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch and A.J. Green should operate as the primary pass-catchers for the Cardinals in a meaningless game for them with quarterback David Blough making his second straight start. Anderson will finish an extremely disappointing 2022 season in which he caught 20 passes on 44 targets for a career-low 282 yards and only one touchdown in 16 games for the Cardinals and Carolina Panthers. He caught just seven passes for 76 yards in 10 games with Arizona. The 29-year-old is heading into the final year of his deal, but there's a good chance he'll be cut this offseason.

		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee, shin) was present but didn't practice on Thursday. He was held out of Wednesday's practice and has now missed back-to-back sessions. The 27-year-old sustained a shin injury in the Week 17 loss to the Falcons. According to Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury, the shin issue was "nothing major." The veteran back will have one more chance to practice on Friday with an opportunity to suit up against the 49ers on Sunday. Keaontay Ingram and Corey Clement would see an uptick in touches if Conner is ruled out against San Francisco in Week 18.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee/shin) did not practice this week and has officially been ruled out for Week 18 against the San Francisco 49ers. Conner is a veteran back, so there's no real reason to put him out there in a meaningless game since the Cardinals have already been eliminated from playoff contention. That said, Keaontay Ingram will draw the start for Arizona. However, he has a low floor and low ceiling against one of the elite defenses in the NFL. The Niners have allowed the fewest fantasy points to running backs this season, and David Blough at quarterback doesn't set up well for Ingram's touchdown upside.

		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee, shin) and wide receiver Robbie Anderson (back) were both listed as DNPs on Wednesday's estimated practice report. Conner picked up a shin injury late in last week's game, putting his availability in question for the Week 18 season finale against a tough San Francisco 49ers defense. The 27-year-old is being called day-to-day for now, so as long as he returns to practice later this week, he should close out the year as the team's unquestioned lead back. In the first meeting with SF in Week 11, Conner had 14 carries for 42 yards and a rushing TD. DeAndre Hopkins (knee) has already been ruled out for this weekend, so Anderson could have a big role against San Fran on Sunday if he's able to play. However, with quarterback David Blough under center last week with Hopkins out, Anderson caught just one pass on one target for 13 yards.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) had surgery to fix his torn right ACL on Tuesday, and on Wednesday head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that Murray "probably" won't be ready for the start of the 2023 season. In addition to the ACL repair, Murray needed a meniscus repair. After another disappointing season for the Cardinals in his fourth year in the NFL, the two-time Pro Bowler won't be afforded a normal offseason as he recovers from a major knee injury. Murray was missing top wideout DeAndre Hopkins for the first six games of the season and finished with a 66.4% completion percentage, a career-low 2,368 yards, 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions in 11 starts. He also had 67 carries for 418 yards and three scores on the ground. Given the fact that Murray may not be ready for the start of next season, his fantasy value will obviously take a pretty big hit.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Robbie Anderson (back) wasn't seen on the practice field on Thursday in the portion of practice open to the media. If Anderson doesn't practice on Thursday, it will be his second straight missed session of the week, leaving his status up in the air for Sunday's season finale against the San Francisco 49ers. DeAndre Hopkins has already been ruled out as well, so if Anderson isn't cleared, the Cardinals would be working with Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch and veteran A.J. Green as their top three receivers against a tough Niners defense. If Anderson ends up playing this weekend, he's an easy fade in DFS and season-long leagues with quarterback David Blough making his second straight start.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee, shin) was on the field for the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Conner was held out of practice on Wednesday, but the fact that he's back out there means that he should be available to play in the Week 18 regular season finale against the San Francisco 49ers. He has been a strong RB2 for fantasy managers this year and should remain the team's unquestioned lead back this weekend if he's active. However, there's the caveat that he'll also be facing a 49ers defense that has allowed the fewest fantasy points to RBs per game (14.0) in half-point PPR scoring. Conner also has more downside with quarterback David Blough making another start under center to close out the year.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) won't play in Week 18 against the San Francisco 49ers. The star receiver didn't play against the Atlanta Falcons last week after suffering a knee injury during practice. With the Cardinals eliminated from playoff consideration, it's no surprise that Hopkins won't play this week. The star receiver ends the 2022 season with 64 receptions on 96 targets for 717 receiving yards and three touchdowns in nine games. Depending on what Arizona does in the offseason, Hopkins might have played his final game for the Cardinals. However, the star receiver showed that he has plenty of gas left in the tank and is a WR2 or better next year, regardless of where he is playing.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (wrist) was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and will suit up against the San Francisco 49ers, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. With David Blough under center last week, Brown turned nine targets into six receptions for 61 yards. Blough will start again this Sunday, and with star wideout DeAndre Hopkins (knee) ruled out for a second consecutive contest, Brown should continue to see plenty of opportunities. Fantasy managers with something to play for in Week 18 can view Brown as a solid flex option.

		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (shin) is considered day-to-day with his shin injury, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. The head coach called Conner's injury "nothing major" and said that X-rays came back negative. The 27-year-old was injured in the fourth quarter of the Week 17 loss to the Atlanta Falcons but still managed 16 carries for 79 yards while catching all three of his targets for 31 additional yards on 55 percent of the offensive snaps. He might be rested early in the practice week, but Conner should be able to close out the regular season and play in Week 18 against the San Francisco 49ers. It will be a tough matchup if Conner plays, but he's been a strong RB2 this year as the overall RB16 in half-point PPR scoring.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Robbie Anderson (back) is questionable to return against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. He exited in the second quarter after catching one pass for 13 yards. Arizona is already shorthanded without DeAndre Hopkins (knee), so losing Anderson is far from ideal. The Cardinals will proceed with Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch, and A.J. Green atop their depth chart.

He exited in the second quarter after catching one pass for 13 yards. Arizona is already shorthanded without DeAndre Hopkins (knee), so losing Anderson is far from ideal. The Cardinals will proceed with Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch, and A.J. Green atop their depth chart.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner finished with a team-high 16 carries for 79 yards during Sunday's loss to the Falcons. He also contributed three catches for 31 yards. Unfortunately, the veteran suffered a shin injury late in this one, allowing Corey Clement to compile 32 yards off seven touches. Conner will likely have further testing before the Cardinals' season finale against the 49ers. However, considering Arizona has nothing left to play for, it's possible Conner won't be back on the field for the remainder of the 2022-23 campaign.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) has been ruled out for a Week 17 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. Hopkins did not participate in practice on Friday, and with Arizona already eliminated from playoff contention, it's no surprise that the team has elected to play it safe with its star wideout. With David Blough starting at quarterback, it will be difficult to trust any Cardinals receiving option, but Marquise Brown, Greg Dortch, A.J. Green, and Trey McBride could all see additional target volume.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (illness) was back on the practice field on Thursday after missing Wednesday's walkthrough session. He was officially listed as limited. Barring some sort of setback with his illness, the 34-year-old should be fine to play in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons, but fantasy managers will want to stay far away from him. The seven-time Pro Bowler remains well behind DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown and Greg Dortch on the receiver totem pole, and he's also battling Robbie Anderson for targets from quarterback Colt McCoy. Green didn't see a single target in the Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and has just two catches for 12 yards in the last four games.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (illness) wasn't seen at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday, which would mark his second straight missed practice this week. As long as Conner is able to return to practice in some fashion on Friday, he should be good to go for the Week 17 tilt against the Atlanta Falcons. If the 27-year-old lead back is still sidelined on Friday, fantasy managers may want to start worrying about his status for this weekend's game. Conner has been a solid RB2 for fantasy managers in 2022, and he's found the end zone in both games so far without quarterback Kyler Murray (knee). If for some reason his illness is too much and he's held out, some combination of Keaontay Ingram and Corey Clement would operate Arizona's backfield against Atlanta.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback David Blough will draw the start against the Atlanta Falcons, as Colt McCoy (concussion protocol) still has symptoms and Trace McSorley has apparently been benched. DeAndre Hopkins (knee) could also miss this game, so James Conner might be the only Cardinals player worth starting in fantasy football. Blough is far from the fantasy radar, but as always, some managers could be forced to start him in Superflex or two-quarterback leagues. It's worth noting Atlanta has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) could miss the Week 17 game against the Atlanta Falcons. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said the team will see how Hopkins feels on Saturday before making a decision. Colt McCoy (concussion) protocol has already been ruled out and David Blough has been named the starter. It seems like the Cardinals are waving the white flag this week, so it'll be no shock if Hopkins doesn't take the risk of playing in a "meaningless" game. If he does play, it's hard to bench him since he's produced will several bottom-of-the-barrel quarterback in his career, but his touchdown upside will be capped.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (illness) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. It remains to be seen if Green's injury is serious enough to sideline him for the Week 17 game against the Atlanta Falcons, but either way, fantasy managers should stay far away. The 34-year-old veteran continues to be an afterthought in the offense in recent weeks, even after the season-ending injury to Rondale Moore (groin). Losing quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) to a torn ACL didn't help Green's cause, but he has just seven catches on 15 targets for 62 yards and no touchdowns in his last five games played. Colt McCoy (concussion) will return from a two-game absence this weekend, but Green has no business being in starting fantasy lineups if he plays.
		The Arizona Cardinals placed safety Budda Baker (shoulder) and defensive lineman Trysten Hill (knee) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Baker suffered a season-ending fractured shoulder in Sunday night's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He'll miss the final two regular season games. In the 26-year-old's absence, Chris Banjo will likely start in Arizona's secondary, leaving them more vulnerable to close out the year. Baker, who was named to the Pro Bowl for the fifth time in his six seasons in 2022, will finish the year with 111 tackles (75 solo), two interceptions, seven passes defensed and a forced fumble in his 15 starts.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (concussion) will start in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons. The veteran quarterback missed the Christmas day matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after he suffered a concussion in Week 15 against the Denver Broncos. Trace McSorley started last week for the Cardinals, throwing for 217 yards and an interception in the overtime loss. With Kyler Murray (knee) out for the year, McCoy will start the final two games for Arizona. The veteran quarterback has averaged 195 passing yards and 8.2 fantasy points per game in his four starts this season. While this week's matchup against the Falcons is fantasy-friendly, fantasy players have no reason to start the veteran quarterback.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (illness) did not participate in the team's walkthrough on Wednesday as he is dealing with an illness. He should currently be considered questionable to suit up for a Week 17 matchup with the Atlanta Falcons. Fortunately for fantasy managers, Conner still has two days to get some practice reps in ahead of Sunday's contest. Assuming the 27-year-old is cleared to play, he will be a must-start option in all formats considering he has finished as the fantasy RB13 or better in four straight games.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (concussion) missed his team's Week 16 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a concussion, leaving Trace McSorley to man the offense. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters on Monday that the hope is that McCoy can clear the league's concussion protocol this week in time to start against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 17. A return to the lineup for McCoy would be good news for the Arizona offense, especially DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins struggled with an erratic McSorley under center in Week 16, catching just one of 10 targets for four yards. If McCoy ends up sitting out, none of the pass-catchers in Arizona would be playable in fantasy this weekend.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) will have surgery on January 3, according to NBC Sports' Melissa Starks. The signal-caller suffered a season-ending torn ACL during the Week 14 encounter with the New England Patriots. While it was initially reported Murray was facing a six-to-eight-month absence, it is now believed he could be out nine months. As a result, the 2019 No. 1 overall pick may not be on the field again until October at the earliest. Nevertheless, there will likely be routine updates regarding Murray's condition heading into the 2023-23 campaign, so anything can change in the months ahead.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Marquise Brown (groin) and Greg Dortch (knee) were both limited participants in Thursday's practice. Dortch was also limited in Wednesday's practice, but Brown is making his first appearance on the Week 16 practice report on Thursday. It doesn't seem like a significant injury, but his status for Sunday night's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers needs to be monitored. The 25-year-old played 92 percent of the offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos, but he caught just four passes for 19 yards. With the Cardinals on to third-string quarterback Trace McSorley with Colt McCoy (concussion) out this week, Brown's fantasy upside will be extremely limited if he plays. Check back for his official Week 16 status on Friday.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (groin) is officially listed as questionable to play on Sunday night against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 16. Brown popped up on Thursday's injury report with a groin injury and has practiced on a limited basis the last two days. He'll have a shot to play, but with the game being on Sunday night and with third-string quarterback Trace McSorley leading the offense this week in his first career start, it's probably best to stay away from the 25-year-old in starting fantasy lineups. Brown hasn't scored since Week 5 and has eight catches on 16 targets for 53 yards in his last two games. If he's unable to suit up against Tampa, A.J. Green and Greg Dortch would see added opportunities behind No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (concussion) won't play in Week 16 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The Cardinals lost star quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) in Week 14 against the New England Patriots for the rest of the season. McCoy started against the Denver Broncos last week but left the contest early with the concussion. Trace McSorley replaced the former Texas Longhorn against Denver and will start on Christmas Day against the Buccaneers. Hopefully, McCoy can clear the concussion protocol and return in Week 17 against the Atlanta Falcons. However, fantasy players shouldn't be surprised if McSorley is the starter for the rest of the season.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Trace McSorley will make his first start this season on Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran quarterback has played limitedly this year, totaling only 25 pass attempts for 154 yards. Unfortunately, the Cardinals will start their third quarterback in as many weeks on Sunday. Kyler Murray (knee) suffered a season-ending injury in Week 14. Last week, Colt McCoy (concussion) left the matchup against the Denver Broncos early and won't play this week. The quarterback news is disappointing for fantasy players. James Conner and DeAndre Hopkins are the only two Arizona players that deserve consideration in fantasy lineups this week.

		Free-agent running back Darrell Henderson Jr. did a visit with the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday. The 25-year-old has already been cut twice this season, but might be able to find a new home soon. Henderson rushed 70 times for 283 yards and three touchdowns before getting cut by the Los Angeles Rams. After that, Henderson joined the Jacksonville Jaguars, but was cut by the team before even playing in a single game. Possibly, Henderson would be able to help out as the backup behind James Conner. The Cardinals certainly need a reliable change-of-pace back. Fantasy managers shouldn't be jumping on the waiver wire to snag Henderson. It's unknown if the Cardinals even want to sign Henderson, but he did meet with the organization.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (head) didn't return to Sunday's loss to the Denver Broncos. The veteran, who was starting in place of Kyler Murray (knee), finished with 95 yards and two interceptions off 7-for-15 passing prior to his premature departure. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury provided an update after the game, confirming that McCoy is in concussion protocol, so he'll need to clear some hurdles before the Sunday Night Football showdown versus Tom Brady and the Buccaneers in Week 16. If he can't suit up, Trace McSorley would presumably get the start. McSorley filled in after McCoy went down, although he didn't play much better, amassing 78 yards and a pick. That said, regardless of who is under center for the birds moving ahead, they likely won't offer much to fantasy managers, which also won't mean good things for DeAndre Hopkins and company.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) recently suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his left knee. It is awful news as the 25-year-old will undergo surgery and miss the rest of this season. Luckily, the six-to-eight month timetable does have Murray on track to return for the beginning of next season. The significant knee injury is certainly going to put on a question mark around his fantasy value heading into next season. He might not be able to run the same, which would be a big problem considering a lot of Murray's game is done with his legs. Fantasy managers will just have to wait and see how the recovery process goes for Murray. The good news is, Murray is trending towards being ready for the beginning of next season. Until then, veteran signal-caller Colt McCoy will start under center for Arizona.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) is active for Week 15 versus the Denver Broncos. He had technically been listed as questionable, but there was little doubt that he would play. The 25-year-old has 10 catches for 80 yards through two games since returning from injury. Brown will continue to operate as the Cardinals' No. 2 receiver behind DeAndre Hopkins but falls to the WR3 tier in fantasy football now that Colt McCoy is quarterbacking the squad.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (head) won't return to Sunday's meeting with the Broncos due to a concussion. The veteran took a shot early in the third quarter and remained on the ground in obvious pain. He'll finish Week 15 with 78 yards and an interception off 13-for-21 passing. The Cardinals quarterback woes continue, with Trace McSorley now in to try his hand under center.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) will suit up for the Week 15 matchup against the Denver Broncos. This is great news after Brown was unable to practice on Thursday and was limited on Friday. The 25-year-old has been banged up this season, but is productive when healthy. Sadly, quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) is done for the season, so Brown's value will likely take a hit with Colt McCoy taking over under center. Brown should be considered a low-end WR3 for this tough matchup against Denver.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) has been listed as questionable for the team's Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos. Brown did not practice on Thursday, but logged a limited session on Friday, potentially signaling he will be good to go on Sunday. With Colt McCoy under center, Brown doesn't offer as much appeal in fantasy lineups, but his clear role as the WR2 in the Cardinals' offense makes him a potential low-end WR2 moving forward. The matchup with the Broncos isn't very encouraging, but Brown's undeniable talent makes him worth a look in lineups this week if he is active.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Denver Broncos on the road in Week 15. Brown was unable to practice on Thursday due to an illness, but he returned to a limited session on Friday. The 25-year-old should be on track to play this weekend, but fantasy managers should check back on Sunday to be sure. Hollywood Brown has caught 10 of his 16 targets for a very modest 80 yards and no touchdowns in two games since returning from a foot injury. It hasn't helped that DeAndre Hopkins has been Arizona's clear leading target, and that's not expected to change with quarterback Colt McCoy taking over for Kyler Murray (knee). Brown should be considered more of a WR3 in a tough matchup in Week 15 with McCoy starting under center.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (neck) returned to a full practice on Friday and won't carry an injury designation into the Week 15 contest versus the Denver Broncos on Sunday. McCoy was listed as limited on both Wednesday and Thursday. The 36-year-old veteran will be making his third start of the year, and barring injury, he'll close out the final four games of the 2022 season as the starter with Kyler Murray (knee) suffering a season-ending torn left ACL on Monday night. In his two previous starts against the Rams and 49ers, McCoy went 50-for-71 for 456 yards, one touchdown and an interception. He'll get another stingy defense in the Broncos in Week 15, making him a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues, at best.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (neck) was listed as a limited participant in the team's walkthrough practice on Wednesday. The Cardinals are likely just taking it easy on the 36-year-old signal-caller early in the week. Kyler Murray (knee) suffered a season-ending torn left ACL in Monday night's loss to the New England Patriots, so McCoy moves into the starting role for the final four games of the season. McCoy won't scary opposing defenses, but he's by far the most experienced option under center for the Cardinals over Trace McSorley and David Blough. In his three games this year (two starts), McCoy has gone 77-for-111 for 702 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He'll be a low-end QB2 for fantasy managers in superflex leagues in Week 15 against a tough Denver Broncos defense.
		The Arizona Cardinals signed quarterback David Blough off the Minnesota Vikings practice squad on Wednesday, according to a source. Blough will take the roster spot of Kyler Murray (knee), who was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve after tearing his left ACL in the Monday night loss to the New England Patriots. Barring injury, veteran Colt McCoy should close out the season as Arizona's starting signal-caller. He'll be backed up by Trace McSorley and Blough. The 27-year-old Blough has not played at all this year while with the Vikings. In three NFL seasons with the Detroit Lions, Blough has thrown for 1,033 yards, four touchdowns and seven interceptions on 184 pass attempts in seven games (five starts).
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) is scheduled to have surgery to fix the torn ACL in his left knee sometime after Christmas, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. The Cardinals put Murray on season-ending Injured Reserve this week. Kingsbury said he "wouldn't put anything past" Murray as far as being ready for the 2023 season. The 25-year-old signal-caller had a bit of a disappointing season in 2022, throwing for 2,368 yards, 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions while adding 418 rushing yards and three more TDs on 67 carries. With him potentially not being ready for the start of next season, Murray's fantasy stock as a QB1 for fantasy managers next year is on thin ice. Veteran Colt McCoy will lead Arizona's offense in the final four games.

		The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent quarterback Carson Strong to their practice squad on Tuesday after he worked out for the team last week, according to a source. The former undrafted free-agent signal-caller of the Philadelphia Eagles will now head to the desert for additional QB depth after starter Kyler Murray (knee) tore his ACL in the Monday night loss to the New England Patriots. Strong figures to be a candidate to be signed to a futures deal at the end of this season. Veteran backup Colt McCoy came on in relief of Murray on Monday night and should close out the year as the Cardinals' starter in the final four games, with Trace McSorley backing him up.
		The Arizona Cardinals placed quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) and wide receiver Rondale Moore (groin) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday, officially ending their seasons. The Cardinals confirmed on Tuesday that Murray tore his left ACL in the Monday night loss to the New England Patriots. The 25-year-old will require surgery, and there's a good chance he won't be ready for the start of the 2023 season. Murray finishes his fourth NFL season with 2,368 passing yards, 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions on 390 attempts. He added 67 carries for 418 yards and three TDs in 11 games. Moore hasn't played since Week 11 and will finish his second season with 41 catches for 414 yards and one TD in eight games. Colt McCoy will take over at QB for Murray, while Robbie Anderson should have a bigger role as the No. 3 receiver the rest of the way with Moore out.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) suffered a scary non-contact injury on the first possession of the Monday night game against the New England Patriots and had to be carted off the field. However, the Cardinals are saying he's questionable to return. He looked dejected with a towel over his head while being carted off. Backup Colt McCoy is now in the game and could finish the regular season as Arizona's starting QB, depending on the official diagnosis for Murray. The 25-year-old signal-caller completed his only pass attempt for nine yards and had a three-yard rush on the ugly looking injury. In two starts in Weeks 10 and 11, McCoy went 50-for-71 for 456 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions against the Rams and 49ers.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) will not return to his team's Monday game against the New England Patriots. Murray went down with a non-contact knee injury on his team's first drive of the game and was carted off of the field. He was initially deemed questionable to return but was ruled out of the contest shortly after. The Cardinals will now look to Colt McCoy to replace Murray at the quarterback position for the remainder of the game. Murray's injury looked scary at the time and could be serious, although the Cardinals will have to wait until at least Tuesday to find out the extent of the damage. Fantasy gamers rostering Murray will want to make alternate plans at the quarterback position when waivers run this week.
		NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted that Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) is feared to have suffered a serious knee injury against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. Murray was carted off after suffering a non-contact knee injury during the first quarter. Rapoport indicated that Murray will go for an MRI and other tests in the near future to determine the extent of the injury. It will be Colt McCoy under center for the Cards for the rest of the way on Monday night and possibly for the remainder of the 2022 season.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) is expected to have an MRI exam on Tuesday, but there is "little doubt that it's torn," according to a source, referring to Murray's left ACL. Murray went down on a scary non-contact injury on the first offensive series of the game on Monday night against the New England Patriots and was carted off the field. The 25-year-old signal-caller had a towel over his head and reportedly was crying in the locker room. Fantasy managers and the Cardinals are expected to be without Murray for the final four weeks of the season, and he might not be ready to go for Week 1 in 2023, either. Veteran backup Colt McCoy should start for Arizona under center to close out the season.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (knee) tore his left ACL in the Monday night loss to the New England Patriots, an MRI exam confirmed on Tuesday. Murray will now miss the final four games of the 2022 season and won't be ready for the start of next year. The 25-year-old's knee gave out while scrambling on just the third play of the game, and he was carted off while in tears. Murray finishes his fourth year in the desert with 2,368 yards, 14 touchdowns and seven interceptions on 390 pass attempts while also carrying the ball 67 times for 418 yards and three more scores. He can officially be dropped in single-season fantasy leagues. Veteran backup Colt McCoy will take over as the starter the rest of the way and will be a low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (thumb) practiced in full all week long and has officially been removed from the injury report. This means that he has been cleared to play against the New England Patriots on Monday night, barring a setback. With Rondale Moore (groin) sidelined, Dortch projects as Arizona's No. 3 receiver behind DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown. While he has shown glimpses of upside, Dortch's position behind Hopkins and Brown could strip him of his fantasy appeal in most leagues. Consider him a fringe top-50 option in Week 14.
		Arizona Cardinals defensive back Byron Murphy (back) is not expected to suit up for the Week 14 matchup against the New England Patriots. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Murphy was probably not going to be available when asked if he'd suit up this week. That means, the 24-year-old is likely to miss his fourth straight game due to a lingering back issue. His absence will mean more snaps for Antonio Hamilton in the secondary. Possibly, Murphy can return next week, which would give this defense a small boost.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (groin) missed yet another practice on Friday. Moore has yet to practice this week and looks set to miss his second straight game despite coming off last week's bye. The 22-year-old could return to practice on Saturday, which would give him a chance to play in Week 14 against the New England Patriots on Monday night. But it's not looking good for Moore's availability this week, and with the game being on Monday, it makes him extremely risky for starting fantasy lineups. Moore has plenty of big-play ability, but he will see fewer opportunities the rest of the way with both DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown available as well. If Moore misses another game, Greg Dortch (thumb) could serve as Arizona's No. 3 wideout.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (thumb) practiced in full again on Friday. The wideout had the same status on Thursday, so it appears he'll be back against the New England Patriots on Monday evening. Dortch had a terrific showing in Week 11, catching nine of 10 targets for 103 yards before missing the following meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers, ahead of the Week 13 bye. Considering DeAndre Hopkins (illness) and Marquise Brown are expected to play on Monday night, there may not be enough room for Dortch to remain involved enough to benefit fantasy managers, even if Rondale Moore (groin) isn't available.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (groin) has been ruled out for the team's Week 14 matchup against the New England Patriots. Moore, who has not suited up since Week 11, was unable to return to the practice field this week and will miss a second consecutive game. In his absence, Greg Dortch (thumb) figures to handle most of the slot receiver duties while DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown should continue to see a high volume of targets on the outside.

		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (knee) revealed on Thursday that he underwent surgery in late November on his ACL and MCL, but he hopes to be ready for Week 1 of the 2023 regular season despite being in the early stages of his rehab. The 32-year-old is not going to be ready for the team's offseason program next spring, and it's not a lock that he'll be ready to roll when training camp kicks off next summer, either. When healthy, Ertz has been a solid TE1 for fantasy managers in his time in Arizona, but this complicated knee injury will make him much more risky at the thinnest position in fantasy in next year's fall drafts. Rookie second-rounder Trey McBride has only five catches on seven targets for 15 yards in two games played without Ertz.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) was a full participant at Friday's practice after being held out on Thursday. The 30-year-old draws a tough matchup with a solid Patriots defense in Week 14 on Monday night, but fantasy managers can value him as a WR1 option regardless. He was out-targeted by Marquise Brown in Week 12, as he saw under 12 targets for just the second time this season. With Brown back in the mix, it seems less likely Hopkins continues to draw an astronomical target share, but it is safe to say he will remain the top dog in the passing game and continue to provide WR1 fantasy value.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (groin) was absent from Wednesday's practice while fellow wide receiver Greg Dortch (thumb) was a limited participant. Both receivers were absent from the Cardinals' Week 12 game due to injury, and they'll hope to suit up for their Monday night matchup against the New England Patriots. However, Dortch appears to have a leg up on Moore to start the week, as he at least appeared in a limited fashion. While it's still early, Dortch's fantasy value hinges on Moore's availability, so this is a situation that warrants monitoring throughout the week.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (groin) was not spotted at the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. The Cardinals are hoping that Moore will return to action in Week 14 against the New England Patriots on Monday night after missing the last game. The 22-year-old had last week's bye to rest up, but there's some concern that he's not back on the practice field. If he can get back to practice in the next two days, he'll have a chance to play on Monday, but Moore is looking questionable right now. And with DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown now both on the field together, Moore's opportunities to make big plays in the passing game will shrink.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (illness) was held out of practice on Thursday due to an illness. Hopkins still has a few days left to return to practice with the Cardinals facing the New England Patriots on Monday night in Week 14. The 30-year-old should be ready to go by then and will continue to operate as quarterback Kyler Murray's favorite target through the air. When healthy, Nuk is a must-start WR1 in fantasy. Since making his season debut in Week 7 due to a suspension, he has 49 catches on 64 targets for 574 yards and three touchdowns in only six games played. The return of Marquise Brown takes a little shine off of Hopkins' fantasy ceiling, but he's still a must-start.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (thumb) was back to a full practice on Thursday. Dortch had nine catches for a career-high 109 yards in Week 11, but he then missed the Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. The team's bye last week seems to have done wonders for Dortch, and he's tracking towards returning in Week 14 to face the New England Patriots on Monday night. With Rondale Moore (groin) potentially missing another game, Dortch could operate as the No. 3 wideout on Monday behind DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown. The 24-year-old has had a couple spike games in 2022 for the Cardinals because of injuries to the rest of the receiving corps, but he'll need Moore to miss another game to have a shot at another against the Pats.

		Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he's hopeful that wide receivers Rondale Moore (groin) and Greg Dortch (thumb) can return in Week 14 against the New England Patriots on Monday Night Football. The Cardinals had their bye last week, so it afforded both Moore and Dortch some extra rest. Moore missed the Week 12 contest with a groin injury he suffered in Week 11 in Mexico City. Dortch also missed the Week 12 game due to a thumb injury that didn't require surgery. If both Moore and Dortch return this week against the Patriots, quarterback Kyler Murray will have his full complement of receivers to work with. Moore and Dortch will play second fiddle to DeAndre Hopkins and Marquise Brown, lowering their fantasy ceiling.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (thumb) isn't expected to suit up versus the Los Angeles Chargers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. The 24-year-old was entering Week 12, coming off a potent performance against the 49ers in Mexico City, where he finished with nine catches for 103 yards. However, fantasy managers had an idea Dortch wouldn't be out there against L.A., especially since the Cardinals elevated Pharoh Cooper and Andre Baccellia to the active roster. Fortunately, Marquise Brown (ankle) will make his long awaited return after a lengthy layoff, which is welcome news considering Rondale Moore (groin) also won't play. That said, Brown may be on a snap count, so DeAndre Hopkins should remain the top option for Kyler Murray on Sunday.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (thumb) and quarterback Trace McSorley (illness) are inactive for Week 12 versus the Los Angeles Chargers. Both players had been listed as questionable. Dortch stood out after Rondale Moore (groin) exited last Monday's game early, totaling nine catches for 103 yards. Although Dortch and Moore will miss this Sunday's clash, Arizona should still feel good about its wide receiver corps, which is headlined by DeAndre Hopkins, Marquise Brown, and A.J. Green. Meanwhile, the Cardinals can survive without McSorley since both Kyler Murray (hamstring) and Colt McCoy (elbow) are active this week.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (ankle) was activated from the injured reserve list on Saturday after missing his previous five games because of an ankle injury. With Rondale Moore (groin) out for the Week 12 meeting with the Chargers and Zach Ertz (knee) done for the year, the Cardinals could use Hollywood's services. That said, Brown may be on a snap count for a game or two, so fantasy managers may want to consider holding him out until he proves he's fully healthy. As a result, DeAndre Hopkins should continue to see plenty of attention versus Los Angeles on Sunday. Greg Dortch (thumb), fresh off a nine-catch, 103-yard performance against the 49ers in Mexico City, could also be involved if he plays, although likely not at the level he was in Week 11.
		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (knee) landed on the injured reserve list. The 32-year-old already wasn't expected to return this season after suffering a knee injury in the Week 10 win over the Rams. The move was likely a procedural one, as the Cards made several moves on Saturday, including activated Marquise Brown (ankle) from the IR and elevating wide receiver Pharoh Cooper and tight end Maxx Williams from the practice squad. That said, fantasy managers in redraft formats who are holding on to Ertz for whatever reason can part ways with him immediately.
		The Cardinals added wide receivers Andre Baccellia and Pharoh Cooper to the active roster for the Week 12 meeting with the Los Angeles Chargers. Both men have seen limited action outside of practice squads throughout their careers, combining for 63 catches for 564 yards and a touchdown. Rondale Moore (groin) has already been ruled out ahead of the matchup against L.A.. While Greg Dortch (thumb) is questionable, the additions of Brown and Baccellia makes it probable he won't play either. In addition, Marquise Brown (ankle), who was activated from the injured reserve list on Saturday following a five-game absence, could be on a snap count on Sunday, so Brown and Baccellia may see a few looks from Kyler Murray, with the former being more likely to get involved. Yet, neither man is worth an add in any fantasy format.

The 28-year-old has played 73 games in the NFL, with 35 of them being in a Cardinals uniform. During his career, he's amassed 103 catches for 1,001 yards and six touchdowns. While it's unknown how long Williams' latest stint on the active roster will last, he could be a sneaky value play for DFS managers in Week 12, even if he's not the No. 1 option on the depth chart.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (thumb) didn't practice on Wednesday and Thursday and will be a game-time decision for the game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Dortch's fantasy outlook and range of outcomes are wide because Rondale Moore (groin) isn't expected to play, but Marquise Brown (foot) is trending toward returning. Quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) is also trending toward playing. Dortch will likely be the No. 3 target for the Cardinals if he's active, so he'll be an extremely risky boom-or-bust flex play for Week 12.
		Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) looked sharp this week in practice and is ready to go for the Week 12 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Murray returned to a full practice on Wednesday and has been trending toward returning from a two-game absence for the Cardinals. The 25-year-old will take back over for Colt McCoy to face the Chargers this weekend. Murray will be without Rondale Moore (groin) and could also be without Greg Dortch (thumb), but he's expected to get Marquise Brown (foot) back this weekend. The Chargers defense has been more vulnerable on the ground this year, but Murray will be at least a low-end QB1 for fantasy managers in his return to action in Week 12.
		Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he feels good about wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) returning to play in Week 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Cardinals will have to officially activate Brown from Injured Reserve, but that should come on Saturday. It's great news for fantasy managers, but the 25-year-old speedster is expected to be on a snap count in his first game action since Week 6, making him extremely risky as a fantasy starter this weekend. The Cardinals will be without Rondale Moore (groin) and could also be without Greg Dortch (thumb), so A.J. Green and Robbie Anderson could continue to have bigger roles in the passing game behind No. 1 DeAndre Hopkins.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (groin) was unable to practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Week 12 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Moore injured his groin on the second offensive snap of Monday night's blowout loss to the San Francisco 49ers and didn't return, and now he'll miss at least one game with the injury. Greg Dortch (thumb), who replaced Moore in the slot on Monday, will be a game-time decision on Sunday, but the Cardinals are expecting Marquise Brown (foot) to return from Injured Reserve to play against the Bolts. The 22-year-old Moore deserves to be held in most fantasy leagues, although the return of Brown will cause his fantasy ceiling to fall the rest of the way in 2022. Veteran A.J. Brown could still have an expanded role on Sunday if Brown is on a snap count, as expected.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (thumb) is set to undergo an MRI, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. The 24-year-old reportedly hurt his thumb during a punt return on Sunday, but finished the game. It's uncertain if this issue is going to force him to miss time. The Cardinals don't exactly have a ton of options at slot receiver. Robbie Anderson would likely benefit if Dortch does miss time. Fantasy managers will have to check back for another update on his status.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) has missed the past two games with a lingering ailment. When asked on Tuesday, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said it has progressed "quite a bit," but they want him to be "full throttle" before he plays. He also referenced the injuries to their offensive line, citing that as one of the reasons they decided to hold out their star signal-caller against the 49ers. His backup, Colt McCoy, was on the injury report last week and projects to be again this week, but he's likely to play if needed. Arizona has their bye week after their game against the Chargers, which could impact how they handle Murray's health. Fantasy managers would be wise to ensure they have an alternative quarterback this week in case the 25-year-old is inactive again.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) has missed the past two games because of a hamstring injury. However, Murray practiced in full on Wednesday and head coach Kliff Kingsbury said Murray was "definitely trending in the right direction" to start Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers. The star quarterback also said he felt good and expects to start this week. Arizona has lost three of the past four games, including two to NFC West division rivals. Meanwhile, Murray has been productive when on the field, averaging 19.4 fantasy points per game this season. Assuming he is ready to play, Murray is a sold low-end QB1 this week against the Chargers.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (groin) is expected to miss time with a groin injury. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury said it'll be "at least a week" for Moore to return from his injury. The second-year receiver missed the first three games of the year because of an injury. However, Moore was averaging 9.7 half-point PPR fantasy points per game before Monday night's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. Without their second-year receiver, the Cardinals will turn to Greg Dortch. He had nine receptions on 10 targets for 103 receiving yards and 14.8 half-point PPR fantasy points last week against the 49ers.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (groin) is not expected to suit up against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Moore was listed as a DNP on the team's estimated practice report Wednesday and is likely out "at least a week". The Cardinals have a bye in Week 13, which will give Moore an extra opportunity to rest so that he can hopefully return in Week 14 against the New England Patriots. In the meantime, fantasy managers can consider Greg Dortch as the replacement for Moore in the team's slot role.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore injured his groin during his team's Monday Night Football game in Week 12 against the San Francisco 49ers and is questionable to return. Moore did not draw a target and lost six yards on his lone carry of the evening. The Cardinals will turn to veteran wideout Greg Dortch to help replace Moore in the offense. Dortch had a productive run over the first few weeks of the season while Moore was sidelined by a hamstring issue and would be a worthwhile waiver add if Moore were to miss any time with the injury. We will update Moore's status as more information becomes available.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) reportedly might not return until after the team's Week 13 bye, as the team will be cautious in letting their franchise quarterback heal up. That said, he's not expected to play on Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers. Colts McCoy is in line to start his second straight game, so hopefully, Murray's fantasy managers either picked up McCoy or rolled with a different quarterback who has already played in Week 11.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) is officially active for Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers. Hopkins has impressed since returning from suspension, catching 36 passes for 396 yards and two touchdowns over four games. He should be viewed as a stable WR1 option despite the recent emergence of Rondale Moore. In fact, even with Colt McCoy starting in place of Kyler Murray (hamstring), Hopkins has tremendous upside.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) is officially active for Monday Night Football against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 11. He had been listed as questionable. Murray has played in eight games this season, completing 67 percent of his passes for 2,168 yards, 12 touchdowns, and six interceptions. In his absence, veteran Colt McCoy (knee) will draw his second consecutive start. He ranks as a high-end QB3 and is only worth rostering if you need a last-minute replacement for Murray.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) and DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) are officially listed as questionable for Monday Night Football versus the San Francisco 49ers. Both players were limited in practice on Saturday. Murray has played in eight games this season, completing 67 percent of his passes for 2,168 yards, 12 touchdowns, and six interceptions. If the 25-year-old can't suit up this week, veteran Colt McCoy (knee) would be in line for his second consecutive start. Meanwhile, Hopkins has impressed since returning from suspension, catching 36 passes for 396 yards and two touchdowns over four games. He should be viewed as a WR1 if healthy, though the emergence of Rondale Moore and expected return of Marquise Brown (foot) could eat into Hopkins' volume.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (knee) and kicker Matt Prater (right hip, illness) have been removed from the injury report and will be active for Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. McCoy drew his first start of the season last week in place of Kyler Murray (hamstring), who remains questionable heading into Monday night. The veteran looked solid, completing 26 passes for 238 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions. Meanwhile, Prater has made all nine extra points and all eight field goals this season, including three from beyond 40 yards.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) is not expected to play against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday night, according to Jordan Schultz of ESPN. He notes that although Brown isn't quite ready to return, the wideout is "feeling much better and hopes to play next week." The 25-year-old caught 43 passes for 485 yards and three touchdowns before landing on IR. With DeAndre Hopkins back from suspension and Rondale Moore emerging as a pivotal weapon, Brown will fall into the WR3 tier upon his return.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) was listed as a limited participant in the team's practice on Friday. This is a step in the right direction for Hopkins, who was sidelined on Thursday with a hamstring injury. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Arizona's practice report tomorrow as the 30-year-old will have another chance to upgrade his status ahead of a Monday night showdown with the San Francisco 49ers.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (knee) was a full participant in the team's practice on Friday. McCoy got the start last week as Kyler Murray (hamstring) was inactive with a hamstring injury. Murray has been limited in practice this week and will likely be a game-time decision for Monday night's matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. If McCoy handles QB1 duties once again, it should not necessarily be viewed as a downgrade for the Cardinals' passing attack as the offense looked arguably as good as it has all season last week.
		Arizona Cardinals running back Corey Clement has been elevated to the 53-man roster in advance of Monday's clash with the 49ers. The 28-year-old has appeared in two games for Arizona this season. However, he spent nearly all of that time on special teams. The Cards recently parted ways with Eno Benjamin, who had served as the team's starter while James Conner was out with an injury. Yet, with Conner healthy and rookie Keaontay Ingram listed as the No. 2 option on the depth chart, Clement has little room to get involved, giving him no value on the fantasy end.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday due to a hamstring injury. He was dealing with a hamstring issue and was given the day off Thursday. The 30-year-old will have two more chances to practice ahead of Monday's contest against the San Francisco 49ers in Mexico City. Since returning from a six-game suspension in Week 7, he has 36 catches for 396 yards and two touchdowns over four games. Fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation throughout the weekend. If active, Hopkins is a borderline WR1 against the 49ers in Week 11.
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip, illness) participated fully in Thursday's practice. He missed last Sunday's contest against the Rams due to an illness. The 38-year-old is trending in the right direction towards suiting up Monday against the 49ers in Mexico City. He is a perfect 8-for-8 in field goal attempts and 9-for-9 in extra-point tries over six games. Prater can be used as a streamer against the 49ers in Week 11.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) was ruled out for Week 10 after being called a game-time decision, and he'll be a game-time decision once again for the Cardinals' Week 11 Monday Night Football matchup with the San Francisco 49ers. Since he plays on Monday, it's a tricky situation for fantasy managers. Unless managers have the means to pivot to Jimmy Garoppolo should Murray be ruled out, it might be worth rolling with a different quarterback from the Sunday slate of games. Colt McCoy has low upside against a fierce 49ers' defense, but he'd be a viable superflex start if he's the starting quarterback once again.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterbacks Kyler Murray (hamstring) and Colt McCoy (knee) were both seen working at practice on Thursday. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury deemed both signal-callers as day-to-day on Wednesday and the Cardinals are hoping one will be available to play on Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers. Fantasy managers are hoping it's Murray, who was held out of the Week 10 win over the Los Angeles Rams. While the 25-year-old appears to be making progress, there's still a chance he's held out for a second straight game. If Murray returns, he'll be a midrange QB1 against a Niners defense that is one of the best units in football. We'll continue to keep a close eye on Murray's and McCoy's practice status the rest of the week.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) was at practice on Thursday but didn't take part in all of the individual drills. But when he did, he was looking healthy. The Cardinals designated Brown to return from Injured Reserve this week, so he has a chance to be active on Monday night against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers. The 25-year-old hasn't played since suffering a serious left foot injury in Week 6, though, so he's no guarantee to have a normal starter's workload if he's activated from IR to play on Monday night. And once he is back, he'll have to share targets with No. 1 wideout DeAndre Hopkins, which will lower Brown's overall fantasy ceiling. If Brown returns in Week 11, fantasy managers will need to knock Rondale Moore down in their rankings as well.

		The Arizona Cardinals could give quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) another week to rest his ailing hamstring. The team will see how he feels in the middle of the week, so his practice status will be important to watch leading into this weekend's game against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football. With the game being on Monday night, it will be even harder to trust Murray for starting fantasy lineups if he's questionable to suit up. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury is 3-1 with Colt McCoy as the starter, and Arizona believes it can win with him. Fantasy managers shouldn't believe the same, although McCoy could be a desperation QB2 in superflex leagues if Murray misses another game.
		The Arizona Cardinals designated wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) to return from Injured Reserve on Wednesday, opening their 21-day window to officially activate him from IR. Brown returned to practice on Wednesday, and head coach Kliff Kingsbury said there's a chance that Brown will play on Monday night against the San Francisco 49ers. The 25-year-old has been out since Week 6 due to a broken bone in his foot, but he's nearing a return. He'll be a shaky fantasy option in Week 11 with the game being on Monday night, especially since quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) could miss another game. Brown won't be the unquestioned No. 1 receiver when he returns now that DeAndre Hopkins is back in the fold, but he should still have a big role in the offense. Brown's eventual return will hurt Rondale Moore the most.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterbacks Kyler Murray (hamstring) and Colt McCoy (knee) are both day-to-day, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said on Wednesday. Kingsbury is hoping that at least one of them will be available for the Monday night divisional clash against the San Francisco 49ers. Murray did not play in the Week 10 win over the Los Angeles Rams, and fantasy managers will need to monitor the practices statuses of both Murray and McCoy this week. The 25-year-old Murray will be a midrange QB1 in fantasy if he returns to action, but he'll be much more risky this week if he's questionable for the Monday night game. McCoy went 26-for-37 for 238 yards and a touchdown in the win over the Rams, but he'd be nothing more than a desperation QB2 in superflex leagues if he makes another start in Week 11.

		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (knee) is expected to miss "multiple weeks," according to ESPN senior writer Adam Schefter. The veteran injured his knee on Sunday in the win over the Rams and didn't return. While the team believes Ertz's "ACL is intact," he will have an MRI on Monday, so he's not out of the woods just yet. It's a tough blow for fantasy managers, mainly since the 32-year-old has been a top-five fantasy tight end this season, compiling 47 catches for 406 yards and four touchdowns. In the meantime, rookie Trey McBride, who had a catch for seven yards in Week 10, will attempt to fill the void moving ahead.
		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Week 10 win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday, according to sources. It's a tough blow for the team and the veteran Ertz. The 32-year-old is going for a second opinion on his knee, but it's believed that he won't play again in 2022. If it's confirmed with a second opinion, Ertz will finish with 47 receptions on 69 targets for 406 yards and four touchdowns in 10 games played in his first full season in Arizona. With Ertz likely out of the picture for the rest of the way, tight ends Trey McBride and Stephen Anderson are in line to see much bigger roles at the position, while receivers DeAndre Hopkins, Rondale Moore, A.J. Green, Robbie Anderson and Greg Dortch could also see more targets.
		In a surprise move, the Arizona Cardinals have informed running back Eno Benjamin, who filled in as the starter when James Conner was hurt this year, that they are releasing him on Monday, according to a source. With Conner back healthy, Benjamin played just one offensive snap in the win over the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. In his three starts with Conner injured from Weeks 6-8, Benjamin had 36 carries for 151 yards and a touchdown and added 11 receptions for 72 yards as a plug-and-play RB2 for fantasy managers. He'll look to sign with another team, but there's a good chance he won't be fantasy relevant like he was in Arizona. Darrel Williams (hip) is on Injured Reserve, so rookie Keaontay Ingram will serve as Conner's backfield for now.
		Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) is "getting close." Brown might not make it back in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers, but he'll definitely be back after the Week 13 bye, at the latest. The 25-year-old landed on Injured Reserve on Oct. 20 with a foot injury and was expected to be sidelined for four to six weeks. He needs to remain stashed in all fantasy formats and should return to a big role when he's fully healthy, although he'll be battling with target hog DeAndre Hopkins in Arizona's passing attack. In six games before his injury as the team's No. 1 wideout, Brown secured 43 of his 64 targets for 485 yards and three touchdowns.
		Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) remains day-to-day, but Kingsbury reiterated that the team wants Murray to be able to run at full speed on the field before he returns. Murray was inactive in the Week 10 win over the Los Angeles Rams, and he'll have to show the coaching staff more if he wants to return in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. With the 25-year-old sidelined, veteran backup Colt McCoy started and led the team to a win, going 26-for-37 for 238 yard and a touchdown in his first action in 2022. We'll keep a close eye on Murray's practice status this week as he gets back to work on Wednesday. If he plays this weekend against a strong Niners defense, he'll be a low-end QB1 option in fantasy.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) is expected to be a game-time decision on Sunday afternoon, but he's trending in the wrong direction. A source "expressed skepticism" to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler about Murray's status for Week 10, adding that backup Colt McCoy is prepared to start if necessary. In such a scenario, McCoy would rank as a high-end QB3 in fantasy football.
		Free agent kicker Tristan Vizcaino has signed with the Arizona Cardinals. He will handle kicking duties on Week 10 with Matt Prater (hip, illness) not expected to play. Vizcaino, 26, hasn't suited up for an NFL team since Week 6 last season. Through six contests in 2021, he went 6-for-7 on field goals but just 10-for-15 on extra points. He should be left on fantasy waivers in most leagues.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) will test things out pre-game to see if he'll play against the Rams. However, the signal-caller continues to move "gingerly," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, so it's unlikely he'll be available on Sunday. If that's the case, Colt McCoy will be under center. McCoy has totaled 684 yards, three touchdowns, and one pick while amassing a passer rating of 103.2 in three career starts as a Cardinal. While those numbers aren't anything spectacular, his services may come in handy for those in deep multi-quarterback setups.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy is likely to get the start under center for Sunday's Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Cardinals current starter Kyler Murray (hamstring) appears unlikely to suit up for this game. The team claims that Murray will test out his hamstring pregame before they make a final decision. However, friends of McCoy called Saturday night to purchase tickets for this upcoming game. It sounds increasingly likely that McCoy is going to get the starting nod. The 36-year-old probably doesn't have much left in the tank. The absence of Murray would be a significant hit to the fantasy value of DeAndre Hopkins and the other receivers on this roster. The Cardinals are likely going to go run-heavy with short passes, assuming McCoy does start. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a streaming option because McCoy doesn't offer much upside.
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (illness, hip) has been ruled out for the Week 10 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. The Cardinals are going to play it safe here with Prater battling multiple issues. Tristan Vizcaino will serve as the primary kicker for the team on Sunday. Vizcaino hasn't exactly been a reliable option, so fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a streaming option on Sunday.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) is officially inactive for Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams. He tested his injury pregame and ultimately established that he wouldn't be able to play. 36-year-old Colt McCoy will start in his place, ranking as a QB3 in fantasy football.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (groin) and safety Budda Baker (ankle) are officially active for Week 10 against the Los Angeles Rams. Both players had been listed as questionable. Dortch has been a non-factor as of late, catching just five passes over his last six games. His production should continue to dwindle with Colt McCoy quarterbacking the Cardinals this week. Meanwhile, Baker has remained stellar, accruing 71 tackles and one forced fumble.
		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (knee) is questionable to return on Sunday against the Rams. The veteran was injured after bringing in a pass from Colt McCoy, who is starting for Kyle Murray (hamstring), late in the first quarter. Ertz was carted back to the locker room, so fantasy managers shouldn't be shocked if he doesn't return. If that's the case, he'll finish with one catch for 12 yards. In the meantime, Rondale Moore, DeAndre Hopkins, and Greg Dortch are the favorites to see more looks from McCoy for the remainder of Week 10.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (undisclosed) exited Sunday's game against the Rams with an apparent hamstring injury. The veteran was starting for Kyler Murray (hamstring), so now No. 3 signal-caller Trace McSorley is in under center. Fantasy managers should consider McCoy questionable to return,. If he doesn't make it back, he'll finish with 157 yards and a touchdown off 20-for-31 passing.
		Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (undisclosed) has returned to Sunday's game against the Rams. The veteran suffered what looked to be a hamstring injury, opening the door for Trace McSorley to enter the contest. Fortunately, the injury wasn't serious, which is good news considering the Cardinals entered Week 10 without Kyler Murray (hamstring).

		Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he had been told earlier in the week there was a "zero percent" chance of safety Budda Baker (ankle) playing in Week 10 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. Baker was able to practice this week, but the team will be "really smart" before deciding if he'll suit up on Sunday. The 26-year-old is officially listed as questionable. If Baker gets the green light to play, there's a good chance he'll be on a snap count as the Cardinals play it safe with the four-time Pro Bowl safety. Entering Week 10, he ranks as the No. 15 fantasy defensive back in IDP formats. If you've been using Baker as your starting DB in those leagues, you'll want to have another option at the ready.

Friday, November 11

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) practiced on a limited basis Thursday. He has now been limited in back-to-back sessions. The 38-year-old has had his practice reps capped over the last three weeks while dealing with a hip issue but has been active the previous two games. He is a perfect 8-for-8 in field goal attempts and 9-for-9 in extra-point tries this season. Prater has been removed from the team's injury report for the last two weeks. Barring a setback, Prater is expected to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) will be a game-time decision for the game against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10. Murray didn't practice Wednesday before getting in limited practices later in the week, so there's a real chance he could miss this contest. Some quarterbacks would be just fine with hamstring issues, but Murray's strength is his mobility, so it would significantly impact his play. If he's active, he's at risk of having a lower ceiling with reduced rushing upside. That said, he'll still be worth starting. If he's out, Colt McCoy will start his fourth game for Arizona since joining the team in 2021.

Thursday, November 10

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) was seen at practice on Thursday in the portion open to the media. Murray was held out of practice on Wednesday, but his return on Thursday confirms he's not dealing with a serious injury leading up to the Week 10 matchup against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams. His hamstring injury is still worth keeping an eye on, but the 25-year-old should be active this weekend. Murray is currently the QB6 in overall fantasy points through nine weeks of the 2022 season, and although he's facing a tough defense in the Rams this Sunday, he'll remain a solid midrange QB1 for fantasy managers.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hand) was able to practice in full on Thursday. The 22-year-old has put together a few decent performances lately. Moore has 15 receptions for 161 yards and one touchdown over the last two games. He'd be in the WR3 conversation, assuming Kyler Murray (hamstring) does suit up. Otherwise, the entire Cardinals offense is going to take a hit if Murray doesn't play. Fantasy managers should check back on Friday for another update on Moore and Murray.

Wednesday, November 09

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) is considered day-to-day and did not practice on Wednesday, according to a source. Murray's injury isn't considered serious, but it's something to watch for the rest of the week and leading up to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. If for some reason he's unable to play against LA, the Cardinals would have to go with either Colt McCoy or Trace McSorley under center. Murray is the overall QB6 heading into Week 10 in fantasy, but he has even more upside with receiver DeAndre Hopkins in the fold. In the Week 3 loss to the Rams without Hopkins, Murray threw for 314 yards without a touchdown or interception. He'll be a midrange QB1 if he's able to play through his injury.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hand) and kicker Matt Prater (hip) were both limited in Wednesday's practice. It doesn't sound like Moore's hand injury is serious. However, quarterback Kyler Murray (hamstring) also missed practice, so Moore's fantasy outlook would dim considerably if Colt McCoy or Trace McSorley were forced to start against the Los Angeles Rams. Moore has been a nice WR3/flex with upside in recent weeks, catching 15 of his 18 targets for 161 yards and one touchdown. Prater missed Weeks 5-7 and is still managing his right hip injury, but when healthy, he's been reliable for Arizona in 2022. He's made all eight of his field goals and all nine of his extra points in six games, although he'll merely be a streaming option in deeper leagues this weekend against the division-rival Rams and their tough defense.

Tuesday, November 08

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals All-Pro safety Budda Baker (ankle) suffered a high-ankle sprain in the Week 9 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, according to sources. The hope is that Baker can return in two or three weeks, based on the severity of his ankle sprain. It's a big blow to the Cardinals defense and for fantasy managers that have been rolling with Baker as their starting defensive back all year. After nine weeks, the 26-year-old ranks 15th in overall fantasy points among defensive backs. He led the team with 11 combined tackles on Sunday and has 71 tackles (46 solo), two QB hits, two passes defensed and a forced fumble in nine games in 2022. The Cardinals could ask linebacker Isaiah Simmons to shift to safety for as long as the four-time Pro Bowler is out of action.

Sunday, November 06

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Arizona Cardinals are "hopeful" that running back James Conner (ribs) will be able to play against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9, according to ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler. He has missed the last three weeks and is still expected to be a game-time call, but it certainly looks like the 27-year-old is trending in the right direction. Conner has touchdown upside, but Eno Benjamin will likely play most passing downs. If active, both Conner and Benjamin should be viewed as RB3 options.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is expected to play in Week 9 against the Seahawks, according to Adam Schefter. The 27-year-old has missed his last three games and had been listed as questionable heading into this one. While Conner may be limited to a degree, he should receive enough work to lower Eno Benjamin's ceiling on Sunday. Yet, both men are volatile options in any fantasy format.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is officially active for Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks. He had been listed as questionable but will ultimately return after a three-game absence. He should handle rushing duties for Arizona while Eno Benjamin plays passing downs. Both players are solid RB3 options in fantasy football this week.

Saturday, November 05

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was limited in practice all week and was removed from the team's final injury report on Friday. Prater returned from his hip injury in Week 8 but was limited to just field goals and extra points. The Cardinals cut Rodrigo Blankenship earlier this week, so it looks as though Prater is closer to full health and will handle all kicking duties in Week 9 against the Seattle Seahawks at home. Arizona's offense has looked more explosive with receiver DeAndre Hopkins now in the fold, but Prater is averaging just six fantasy points in five games played in 2022. On top of it Seattle has allowed just 6.6 fantasy points per game to the kicking position, so fantasy managers should be able to find better streaming options at the position this weekend.

Friday, November 04

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) was limited in Thursday's practice. He has been limited in back-to-back practices due to a rib injury. The 25-year-old has been sidelined since Week 5 and will have to log a full practice on Friday to increase his chances of suiting up Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. If Conner is ruled out in Week 9, Eno Benjamin would lead Arizona's backfield and is a mid-range RB2 against a Seahawks defense that ranks 14th in rush DVOA this season.
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He has been limited in practice this week and will have one more chance to log a full practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks. The veteran made both his field goals and extra points in last Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. He is a perfect 8-for-8 in field goal attempts and 6-for-6 in extra-point tries over five games in 2022. Prater is bordering streaming option against the Seahawks in Week 9.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is officially questionable and will be a game-time decision for the matchup against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 9. Seattle is a top-10 fantasy matchup for running backs, so it's tough to sit Conner if he does play. He'd be at risk for a limited role, but that's probably a chance fantasy managers will have to take. If he's out, Eno Benjamin should continue to lead the backfield along with Darrell Williams (if active).

Thursday, November 03

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) and kicker Matt Prater (hip) were both limited in practice on Wednesday. Conner hasn't played since Week 5, and it remains to be seen if he'll play this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks. He'll likely have to practice in full later this week. Darrel Williams (hip) was placed on Injured Reserve, so if Conner misses another game, Eno Benjamin will once again see the lion's share of the backfield touches against Seattle. Even if Conner is active on Sunday, he could operate behind Benjamin in his first game back. Prater returned last week and has been cleared for kicking duties moving forward, so expect to see him active in Week 9. The veteran kicker made both of his field goals and both extra points last week and will be a streaming option in deeper leagues this weekend.
		The Arizona Cardinals placed running back Darrel Williams (hip) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and claimed defensive lineman Trysten Hill after he was released by the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday. Williams had just returned in the Week 8 loss to the Minnesota Vikings from a knee injury that had sidelined him for a few games. He will now be forced to miss at least the next four games. Williams was seen on crutches on Wednesday. The Cardinals are hoping James Conner (ribs) can return this weekend against the Seattle Seahawks, but if he can't, Eno Benjamin and Keaontay Ingram are in line to serve as the top two backs. Benjamin has been the better fantasy back with 36 carries for 151 yards and a touchdown while catching 11 of 15 targets for 72 yards in three starts with Conner sidelined.

		Former Houston Texans linebacker Kamu Grugier-Hill signed an undisclosed deal with the Arizona Cardinals on Tuesday, according to a source. He led the Texans with 108 tackles and 13 tackles for loss last year and had started all six games with them this year before requesting his release last week. In those six games, Grugier-Hill racked up 40 tackles (30 solo) and a pass defensed. The 28-year-old saw his playing time decrease to allow rookie Christian Harris to get into the mix in Houston, but now he'll join a linebacking corps that includes Isaiah Simmons and Zaven Collins. Grugier-Hill had the best season of his career with the Texans last year, and before that he hadn't recorded more than 45 combined tackles in a single season.

Sunday, October 30

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals defensive back Byron Murphy (back) is expected to suit up for the Week 8 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The stud defensive back is listed as questionable, but it sounds like there's a good chance that he'll play. That is good news for the Cardinals defense. The former second round pick has 29 tackles, 0.5 sacks, and two passes defended through seven games. His return would make the Cardinals defense a much more appealing streaming option.
		Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams (knee) and kicker Matt Prater (hip) are both active for the Week 8 contest against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Williams will return from a two-game absence and James Conner (ribs) remains out. However, Eno Benjamin has been solid as the team's lead back the last two weeks with both Williams and Conner sidelined, so the Cardinals could continue to give Benjamin the majority of the backfield touches as they ease Williams back into the fold. Williams will be a risky touchdown-dependent RB3/flex in deeper leagues now that he's back. Benjamin still has plenty of fantasy upside this week, but the return of Williams takes a little shine off of him. Prater will return for the first time since Week 4, but fantasy managers can probably find safer kicking options this week.

Friday, October 28

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals running backs James Conner (ribs) and Darrel Williams (knee) were both limited in practice for the second straight day on Thursday. Conner and Williams have both missed the last two games, but they could be trending towards returning this Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings, which would push Eno Benjamin back to a depth role in Arizona. With both Conner and Williams out the last two weeks, Benjamin has received 27 carries for 129 yards and a touchdown while catching seven of his eight targets for 49 yards. If both Conner and Williams return against Minnesota, the Cardinals could have a three-way committee approach, making it hard to trust anyone in this backfield for fantasy purposes.
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday. Prater has missed the team's last three games, but he's trending in the right direction and could have a chance to kick this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. If he makes his return in Week 8, he's expected to only attempt field goals and extra points. Due to his injury, fantasy managers are probably best off avoiding Prater for better options. Rodrigo Blankenship was signed last week, and he made both of his field goals and two of his three extra points in last Thursday's win over the New Orleans Saints. If Prater isn't cleared, Blankenship would serve as Arizona's kicker for the second straight week.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) will miss his third straight game after logging limited practices this week. The Cardinals will face Minnesota Sunday, and with Darrell Williams (knee) also banged up, it could be another big game for Eno Benjamin as the Cardinals' lead running back. Keontay Ingram can be used as a deep league flex play after scoring his first career touchdown last Thursday, but Benjamin is a great option in leagues of all sizes, even if Williams does play.
		Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams (knee) is considered a game-time decision for Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings. Williams has been limited in practice this week and could return to action on Sunday after missing the last two games. James Conner (ribs) will miss his third straight game, so Eno Benjamin, who has been the starter for the last two weeks, should at least half a share of the backfield duties this weekend against Minnesota. Williams could have his offensive snaps limited if he's active on Sunday, so Benjamin would probably still be the better fantasy play. In the last two games as the starter, Benjamin has had 27 carries for 129 yards and a touchdown while adding seven receptions on eight targets for an additional 49 yards.

Thursday, October 27

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) is day-to-day with a hip injury. He has been sidelined since Week 4 due to a hip issue. According to Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury, there could be a situation where Prater only kicks field goals, and Rodrigo Blankenship takes kickoffs. The Cardinals "will be cautious with it at this point." Prater is a perfect 6-for-6 in field goal attempts, and 4-for-4 in extra-point tries over four games in 2022. Fantasy managers can use Blankenship as a streamer if Prater is ruled out again for Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings.

Wednesday, October 26

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals running backs James Conner (ribs) and Darrel Williams (knee) were both seen taking part in practice on Wednesday. Conner and Williams have both missed the last two games, but the fact that they are back out there for the first day of practice this week is a sign that they could both return to action this weekend against the Minnesota Vikings. Eno Benjamin has taken over the lead-back role in their absences, rushing 27 times and catching seven passes in two starts. If one or both of Conner and/or Williams return in Week 8, Benjamin will fall back into a change-of-pace role and won't be worth including in starting fantasy lineups. Continue to keep an eye on Conner's and Williams' practice status the rest of the week.

Thursday, October 20

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the New Orleans Saints. He will miss his second consecutive game due to a knee injury. James Conner (ribs) is a game-time decision, while Eno Benjamin (foot) is expected to play Thursday night. The 27-year-old's next chance to return will be in Week 8 against the Minnesota Vikings. Benjamin could be Arizona's lead back for the second straight week if Conner is ruled out ahead of Thursday's contest.
		The Arizona Cardinals placed wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) and offensive lineman Justin Pugh (knee) on Injured Reserve on Thursday and activated offensive lineman Cody Ford from IR and elevated kicker Rodrigo Blankenship and running back Corey Clement from the practice squad to the active roster in corresponding moves. Brown will be out at least a month, while Pugh is done for the season. Fantasy managers need to keep Brown stashed in an IR spot for now. DeAndre Hopkins is making his season debut on Thursday night against the Saints after serving his six-game suspension, and he should immediately replace Brown as quarterback Kyler Murray's top target. Behind him are Rondale Moore, A.J. Green, newly acquired Robbie Anderson and Greg Dortch.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (hip) is officially inactive for the Week 7 matchup against the New Orleans Saints. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury mentioned Conner would be a game-time decision, so it sounds like the team is taking the cautious approach here. The expectation is that Eno Benjamin will handle a bulk of the touches after taking 87% of the snaps last week. Fantasy managers should consider Benjamin a possible RB2 for this Thursday Night matchup.
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Rodrigo Blankenship was elevated to the active roster on Thursday. He'll serve as the active kicker for the Thursday Night matchup with the New Orleans Saints. Matt Prater (hip) is unable to play in Week 7, but will hopefully return soon. Blankenship hasn't been too consistent during his short NFL career. He won't be an ideal streaming option for the upcoming matchup against the tough Saints defense.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) is listed as questionable for the team's Thursday night game with the Saints in Week 7. The veteran has been held out Week 5 and Week 6, as Matt Ammendola failed to impress in his two opportunities to start. Rodrigo Blankenship, who was added to the team's practice squad, will start if Prater isn't able to play. Both are hard to trust in a struggling Arizona offense, making the two nothing more than streaming options at the kicker position.
		Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury has deemed running back James Conner (ribs) a game-time decision for the team's Week 7 matchup with the New Orleans Saints. Conner has been sidelined for three consecutive practices after missing Week 6 with a rib injury. Given his lack of practice on a short week, fantasy managers should prepare for Conner to sit out on Thursday night. If he is surprisingly active, the Arizona backfield may be one to avoid entirely as Conner could see limited reps against a stout New Orleans run defense.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) sustained a chipped bone around the arch area of his foot in Week 6 and is expected to recover in four to six weeks. This is great news as initial reports indicated that Brown could be sidelined for the remainder of the season. The Cardinals traded for Robbie Anderson earlier in the week and DeAndre Hopkins is set to make his season debut on Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints. Although he will return to more target competition, fantasy managers should hang on to Brown as he could be back as early as Week 11.

		The Arizona Cardinals signed former Indianapolis Colts kicker Rodrigo Blankenship to their practice squad on Tuesday. Blankenship made it just one week with the Colts this year before being cut after he had two kickoffs go out of bounds while also missing a field goal in the Week 1 tie with the Houston Texans. Meanwhile in Arizona, they need another kicker after cutting Matt Ammendola on Monday. Regular kicker Matt Prater (hip) has missed the last two games and doesn't appear to be ready to go in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night. If Prater isn't cleared for this week, it looks like Blankenship will kick for the Cardinals on Thursday. Fantasy managers should be looking to avoid this situation.

Monday, October 17

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was unable to play during Sunday's Week 6 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Cardinals were forced to use Matt Ammendola at kicker, but didn't have much faith in him. The team decided to go for it on fourth down three times instead of trusting Ammendola to attempt the field goal. That being said, head coach Kilff Kingsbury is hopeful that Prater will be day-to-day this week. The Cardinals desperately need the 38-year-old kicker to be ready in time for their Thursday night matchup. It doesn't sound like Ammendola is going to have any streaming appeal next week, assuming Prater is unable to go.
		The Arizona Cardinals acquired wide receiver Robbie Anderson from the Carolina Panthers on Monday, according to sources. It's unclear what the Panthers have received in return for Anderson. Anderson was sent off the field on Sunday in the loss to the Los Angeles Rams after he was visibly frustrated by not being targeted at all. With the Panthers in fire-sale mode, Anderson might be just one of a handful of players that Carolina trades away before this year's deadline. He'll get an upgrade in offense with the move to Arizona, and he could play a big role immediately with Marquise Brown dealing with what is likely a multi-week injury. He's worth a dart throw waiver-wire pickup in deep leagues, but also remember that DeAndre Hopkins is returning from his six-game suspension in Week 7. In Carolina, Shi Smith and Terrace Marshall Jr. will have more opportunity in a bad offense.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) suffered a potentially season-ending foot injury in the Week 6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday, according to sources. Brown is undergoing further testing on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. The 25-year-old was wearing a walking boot on his left foot after the game. He was able to catch five of nine targets for 68 yards before the injury, but his fantasy managers need to prepare for the worst heading into Week 7. Arizona will get DeAndre Hopkins back from his six-game suspension this week, and they also just acquired Robbie Anderson from the Carolina Panthers in a trade. Along with Hopkins and Anderson, the Cardinals also have Rondale Moore and Greg Dortch.
		The Arizona Cardinals fear that starting left guard Justin Pugh (knee) suffered a season-ending knee injury in the Week 6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, according to sources. Pugh is having additional tests on Monday to confirm, but this will be a big loss for the Cardinals offensive line the rest of the way. The 32-year-old was seen with a brace on his right leg following Sunday's loss. He suffered the knee injury in the first half of the game against Seattle. With Pugh now likely out for the rest of the 2022 campaign, look for Max Garcia to step up at the left guard spot in Arizona.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown's (foot) MRI results on Monday showed that his foot injury isn't as bad as the team initially feared. He's dealing with a small, non-surgical-fracture, according to a source, and the recovery time will be about six weeks. Brown will get a second opinion from Dr. Robert Anderson before moving forward. Barring a change in prognosis, he should land on Injured Reserve but return later this season. Fantasy managers need to keep Brown stashed everywhere, although the return of DeAndre Hopkins this week and the acquisition of Robbie Anderson will give Brown plenty of competition for targets once he's back. Through six games in 2022 in his first year in Arizona, Brown caught 43 of his 64 targets for 485 yards and three touchdowns as the team's top wideout.
		The Arizona Cardinals activated wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins to the 53-man active roster on Monday and released kicker Matt Ammendola in a corresponding move. Hopkins finished serving his six-game suspension and will make his season debut in Week 7 against the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night, where he should be quarterback Kyler Murray's top receiving target now that Marquise Brown (foot) is out for around six weeks. Hopkins dealt with a sprained MCL in 2021, but he should be well past that injury now. The Cardinals cutting Ammendola suggests that they think Matt Prater (hip) will be able to return on Thursday after a two-game absence. If not, the team will need to add another kicker early this week.
		Arizona Cardinals running backs James Conner (ribs) and Darrel Williams (knee) were both listed as non-participants on Monday's estimated practice report. Both Conner and Williams were inactive for the Week 6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, and neither RB might be ready to return on a quick turnaround this Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting Conner to be available to them in starting lineups this week. With Conner and Williams out, Eno Benjamin led the team with 15 carries, gaining 37 rushing yards. He also caught all three of his targets for an additional 28 yards. But it was quarterback Kyler Murray who led the Cardinals in rushing with 100 yards on 10 attempts against Seattle.
		Arizona Cardinals running back Eno Benjamin (foot) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Benjamin got the start in the Week 6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks and played a season-high 87 percent of the offensive snaps with both James Conner (ribs) and Darrel Williams (knee) sidelined. He saw a team-high 15 carries for 37 yards and caught all three of his targets for 28 yards. It doesn't appear that Benjamin is in serious danger of missing the Week 7 meeting with the New Orleans Saints on Thursday night, and with Conner and Williams both potentially missing another game, Benjamin could have RB2 upside for one more week. The team's other backs are Keaontay Ingram and Corey Clement. Ingram had three carries for seven yards on Sunday.
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report. Prater has missed each of the team's last two games, but with the team releasing Matt Ammendola on Monday, it's possible that they might be expecting Prater to make his return on Thursday night against the New Orleans Saints in Week 7. We should have a better idea on the 38-year-old's status once we see his practice status for the next two days. If the team signs another kicker in the next day or two, there's a good chance Prater will miss his third straight game. Prater has made all six of his field-goal tries and all four of his extra-point attempts in four games played so far in 2022.

		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) has officially been ruled out for the Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks. Backup running back Darrel Williams (knee) has also been ruled out, so Eno Benjamin is the clear primary back for Arizona in this contest. He's close to a must-start with a solid pass-catching skill set in a matchup with one of the worst defenses in the NFL. In deep leagues, rookie Keaontay Ingram can be used as a desperation flex play, but it's unknown what his role is as the RB2 for the Cardinals.
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) has been ruled out for the Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks. It will be Prater's second straight missed game after injuring his hip in Week 4. With Prater out in the Week 5 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, Matt Ammendola filled in and made one of his two field-goal attempts and both of his extra points. The 25-year-old made three of his four field goals and three of his four extra-point tries for the Kansas City Chiefs in two games earlier this year as well. Fantasy managers should be able to find better kicking options than Ammendola this weekend.

Thursday, October 13

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was listed as a non-participant in practice on Wednesday. Prater was inactive in the Week 5 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and is considered week-to-week, so it doesn't appear that he's on the right track to return to kicking duties in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. The Cardinals added Matt Ammendola to kick for them last week, and he made one of his two field-goal tries and both of his extra points in last Sunday's loss. In a Cardinals offense that hasn't looked right through the first five weeks, fantasy managers should be able to do better than Ammendola this weekend.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) was listed as a non-participant in Wednesday's practice. Conner left the Week 5 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and is considered day-to-day, but a DNP to start the week isn't a great sign for his availability in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. Darrel Williams (knee) has already been ruled out, so waiver-wire darling Eno Benjamin could be in for a hefty workload this weekend if Conner is inactive or limited. Jonathan Ward (hamstring) was also put on Injured Reserve. With Conner and Williams getting injury last Sunday, Benjamin handled eight carries for 25 yards and a touchdown and also caught three passes for 28 yards. Keaontay and Benjamin are Arizona's only healthy RBs heading into Week 6.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is expected to miss the Week 6 game against the Seattle Seahawks and potentially even more time, according to league sources. Darrel Williams (knee) has already been ruled out this weekend and Jonathan Ward (hamstring) has been placed on Injured Reserve, so Eno Benjamin and rookie Keaontay Ingram are the only two healthy RBs on the roster. Conner missed his second straight day of practice on Thursday, and fantasy managers need to move him to their benches now. Benjamin played a season-high 54 percent of the snaps in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and had eight carries for 25 yards and his first touchdown of the year. He also added three catches for 28 yards. As Arizona's likely lead back this Sunday, he'll have RB2 upside.

Wednesday, October 12

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Arizona Cardinals have signed free-agent running back Ty'Son Williams to their practice squad. After watching lead back James Conner and backup Darrel Williams exit Sunday's game against the Eagles due to injuries, the team appears to be bringing in some additional depth in case one or both players cannot suit up this week. The 26-year-old was one of several tailbacks they brought in for a workout, but so far, he is the only one they've elected to sign. He signed with the Indianapolis Colts to their practice squad in the offseason and spent two seasons as a Baltimore Raven before that. Even if both Conner and Williams are out, Eno Benjamin would be the starter, so this transaction has more implications for the health of those two than it does for Ty'Son Williams himself.
		The Arizona Cardinals have signed free-agent running back Corey Clement to their practice squad. The team brought the former Eagle in for a workout and must have liked what they saw. After losing lead back James Conner and backup Darrel Williams on Sunday against the Eagles due to injuries, the team appears to be loading up on depth in case one or both players cannot suit up this week. The 27-year-old will join recently signed Ty'Son Williams as another option should they need to elevate someone for their Week 6 matchup with the Rams. It's unclear which of these two would be the primary backup behind Eno Benjamin, so both remain players to monitor until we know more about the health and pecking order in this backfield.
		Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams (knee) has a sprained knee and has been ruled out for Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks. James Conner (rib) is also dealing with a rib issue, but his status will become more clear later in the week. Jonathan Ward (hamstring) has been placed on Injured Reserve, which is why the Cardinals signed running backs Corey Clement and Ty'Son Williams to their practice squad on Wednesday. Eno Benjamin ended up handling eight carries for 25 yards and a touchdown while also catching three passes for 28 yards on a season-high 54 percent of the offensive snaps in last week's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. It remains to be seen how Arizona's backfield will shake out this Sunday, but Benjamin should once again have a bigger role, even if Conner is active.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is considered day-to-day by head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Conner has a chance to play in Week 6 against the Seattle Seahawks with minimal practice this week. Backup Darrel Williams (knee) has already been ruled out, while Jonathan Ward (hamstring) was placed on Injured Reserve. So even if Conner is active this Sunday, Eno Benjamin figures to have an elevated role in the Cardinals backfield. Benjamin is absolutely worth a waiver-wire pickup this week, as he would be a plug-and-play RB2 option as the team's lead back if Conner doesn't get the green light. Keaontay Ingram is the team's only other healthy running back heading into Week 6 action.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) was forced to exit early during Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. It's a shame because Conner was playing well with 55 yards on nine carries before leaving the game. However, the team wanted to be cautious because Conner does have a history of chest injuries. Luckily, this injury appears to be minor, but Conner could still sit out in Week 6. Darrell Williams (knee) is also sidelined, so Eno Benjamin could be looking at a significant workload coming up.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) is expected to play on Sunday despite being listed as questionable, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The 22-year-old made his season debut last week, catching three passes for 11 yards while logging a solid 86 percent snap share. Despite being the Cardinals' No. 2 wide receiver, Moore is not worth starting in fantasy football for the time being.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) is officially active for Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He had been listed as questionable. The 22-year-old made his season debut last week, catching three passes for 11 yards. Despite serving as the Cardinals' No. 2 wide receiver, Moore is not worth starting in fantasy football.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ribs) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Eagles. It's unfortunate, mainly since the veteran amassed 55 yards off nine carries before his premature exit. If he can't go moving ahead, Eno Benjamin will likely lead the way out of the backfield, with Darrel Williams expected to pick up the scraps.
		Arizona Cardinals running back Darrel Williams (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Eagles. James Conner (ribs) also exited this one, although Williams didn't benefit, as he only saw three carries for nine yards before succumbing to the ailment. Nonetheless, with Jonathan Ward (hamstring) ruled out, the team is now down to Eno Benjamin as the only healthy back, potentially for the remainder of Week 5.

Saturday, October 08

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		The Arizona Cardinals released tight end Maxx Williams (knee, ankle) on Friday. Williams played behind veteran Zach Ertz and rookie Trey McBride in Week 4 and failed to earn a target through four weeks this season. The 28-year-old is reportedly dealing with knee and ankle injuries and Cardinals general manager Steve Keim expressed interest in bringing him back when healthy. In the meantime, McBride will likely see an uptick in snaps and opportunities and could be a name to keep an eye on for fantasy purposes.

Friday, October 07

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) has been added to the injury report after getting in a limited practice session on Thursday. This sounds like a new injury since Moore was dealing with a hamstring problem prior to this injury. Fantasy managers will have to wait and see what happens during Friday's practice. Greg Dortch could be worth a look as a streaming option with the Cardinals still banged up at wideout. However, they have a tough task against the Philadelphia Eagles secondary in Week 5.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Marquise Brown (foot) and A.J. Green (knee) both practiced in full on Friday and were taken off the final injury report. They will both be active in Week 5 against the 4-0 undefeated Philadelphia Eagles. Brown will remain Arizona's No. 1 wideout, but he draws a tough matchup against Eagles shutdown cornerback Darius Slay. But because of the target share that Brown has seen through the first four weeks, he'll be a must-start WR2 for fantasy managers. Green will return after sitting out the Week 4 win over the Carolina Panthers, but he's hard to recommend as a deep-league flex after catching only five of 13 targets for 29 yards in three games, especially if Rondale Moore (knee) is active.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday and is listed as questionable to play in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Moore will be a game-time decision, and on the later slate of games on Sunday, he'll become an even harder-to-trust flex play in deeper fantasy leagues. The 22-year-old pass-catcher made his season debut in last week's win over the Carolina Panthers and caught three of five targets for 11 yards while playing 86 percent of the offensive snaps. With A.J. Green (knee) returning to action, Moore could struggle to produce for fantasy managers if he's active. Greg Dortch should also remain involved behind No. 1 wideout Marquise Brown.

Thursday, October 06

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) did not take part in Wednesday's practice. Brown was limited late in practice last week but ended up playing in the Week 4 win over the Carolina Panthers, going for six catches on 11 targets for 88 yards and one touchdown. As long as he gets back onto the practice field later this week, he should be expected to play this Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles in what could turn out to be a shootout. The 25-year-old has been quarterback Kyler Murray's clear No. 1 option in the passing game, and that shouldn't change this weekend. Brown's status bears watching later this week, though, and he could be facing a tough matchup against Eagles cornerback Darius Slay (forearm).
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday after he missed the team's Week 4 win over the Carolina Panthers. It's a good sign that Green might only miss one game, and head coach Kliff Kingsbury is hopeful that Green will be able to play in Week 5 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Through three games played, the 34-year-old has barely been involved catching just five passes on 13 targets for 29 yards. It's not a good sign, especially since DeAndre Hopkins has yet to play, and now that Rondale Moore is back in the fold alongside Greg Dortch, Green can't be trusted in starting fantasy lineups if he returns to the field this Sunday.
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) has been ruled out for the Week 5 contest against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Recently added kicker Matt Amendola will do the kicking in Prater's absence. Prater suffered a setback with his right hip injury in the Week 4 victory over the Carolina Panthers and will miss at least one game as a result. Fantasy managers that were rolling with the 38-year-old will need to go in another direction. Ammendola filled in for Chiefs kicker Harrison Butker for two games in Weeks 2 and 3 and made three of his four field goals and three of his four extra points. The short-term fill-in should be avoided in fantasy lineups this weekend.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) returned to practice on Thursday after sitting out Wednesday's session. Brown was on the injury report last week with the same foot issue, so there is no reason to believe he is in any danger of missing the team's Week 5 matchup with the Eagles. The injury didn't limit him at all last week, as he posted six catches for 88 yards and a score against the Panthers. The speedy wideout has gotten off to a hot start this season, as he is the overall WR6 in PPR formats through four games acting as Kyler Murray's No.1 wide receiver. He has earned the right to be considered a weekly must-start option given his astronomical target volume.

		The Arizona Cardinals released wide receiver Andy Isabella on Tuesday. Isabella was the team's second-round pick back in 2019 and finishes his Arizona career with 33 catches for 447 yards and three touchdowns over 39 games. Arizona selected Isabella with the 62nd overall pick in the 2019 draft, two picks ahead of D.K. Metcalf and four picks before Diontae Johnson. The Cardinals had been trying to trade Isabella for months but they will instead cut bait. They filled Isabella's roster spot by signing center Billy Price off of the Las Vegas Raiders' practice squad. Isabella has a 4.31 40 time and is likely to draw some interest around the league.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Antoine Wesley (groin, hip) was placed on injured reserve before the season began. The 24-year-old has been activated from the IR list, opening the 21-day window for him to start practicing. The Cardinals desperately need offensive weapons, particularly at the wide receiver position. With DeAndre Hopkins set to miss two more games, there is an opening after Marquise Brown and Zach Ertz for the No. 3 option. Rondale Moore returned to action this week but did not make much of an impact with three catches for 11 yards. Wesley outperformed Moore last season and could do so again when he's back. That said, he is not someone to add or stash until we know more about his health.
		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Colt McCoy (calf) was placed on injured reserve ahead of their season-opener against the Chiefs. The 27-year-old has been activated from the IR list, opening the 21-day window for him to start practicing. Kyler Murray remains the team's starting quarterback, but should he miss any time, the veteran signal-caller would be the next man up ahead of Trace McSorley. The Texas product was forced into action last season for three games, averaging 228 passing yards per game with three total passing touchdowns. While he is a competent NFL backup, he is not a player to add or stash for fantasy football outside of deeper superflex leagues.
		The Arizona Cardinals have signed kicker Matt Ammendola to their practice squad as some insurance with Matt Prater (hip) dealing with a hip injury that caused him to leave Week 4 prematurely. Ammendola was recently released by the Chiefs after he filled in for Harrison Butker (ankle) for two games, making three of four field goals and three of four extra-point attempts. The 25-year-old would be nothing more than a risky streaming option if he is to end up starting in Week 5 against the Eagles.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marquise Brown (foot) is expected to play on Sunday against the Panthers, per ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter. Hollywood didn't see much practice time throughout the week, logging a limited session on Friday. The 25-year-old is coming off a stellar Week 3 performance versus the Los Angeles Rams, finishing with 14 receptions for 140 yards. Although managers shouldn't expect that type of production in Week 4, Brown is always a threat to make things happen on the fantasy end, regardless of the matchup.
		Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf, illness) is expected to play in Week 4 despite being listed as questionable, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The 33-year-old has appeared in two games this season, registering three tackles and two sacks. His presence should impact Baker Mayfield and the opposing Carolina Panthers offense.
		Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf, heart) is officially active for Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. On Sunday morning, Watt personally announced that he went into atrial fibrillation this past Wednesday, had his heart "shocked back into rhythm" on Thursday, and will play this week. The 33-year-old has amassed three tackles and two sacks through two games this season.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Marquise Brown (foot) and Rondale Moore (hamstring) are officially active for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers. Brown, 25, has looked solid in his first season with the Cardinals, amassing 24 catches, 251 yards, and one touchdown. He ranks as a solid WR2 option this week. Meanwhile, Moore is slated to make his 2022 debut after missing the first three weeks. He will compete with up-and-comer Greg Dortch for snaps alongside Brown in Arizona's offense.
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) is officially active for Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. He was limited in practice all week long and officially listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game. Prater attempted just two kicks through the first two games but bounced back with a big showing last week, converting on all four of his field goal attempts. The veteran has proven to be quite reliable and plays in a strong offense, making him a solid option in fantasy leagues this week.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) is expected to make his season debut in a Week 4 showdown with the Carolina Panthers. Moore has been dealing with a hamstring injury that sidelined him for the first three weeks but will be a welcome addition to the Cardinals' offense that is also without DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) for three more games. There was buzz in the offseason that Moore would see an expanded role in 2022, so he is definitely worth stashing in fantasy leagues. The second-year wideout projects as just a desperation flex option for this week and his return likely hampers the value of Greg Dortch, who has been a solid contributor to start the season.

Friday, September 30

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Marquise Brown (foot) and Rondale Moore (hamstring) are both listed as questionable for Week 4 in Carolina. Brown popped up on the injury report on Friday but was able to get in a limited session. Considering he was able to get in some work, it looks like Brown has a solid chance to play on Sunday. Moore, on the other hand, could be a true game-time decision, as head coach Kliff Kingsbury mentioned he would like to see how the speedster responds to his pre-game workout leading up to kickoff. If both are to be ruled out, Greg Dortch would be in line for a massive workload, while Andy Isabella would also likely see a larger role in the offense.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (knee) has been ruled out of Week 4 against the Panthers with a knee injury. Green was a long shot to play leading up to Sunday, as he wasn't able to get in any practice time this week. The Cardinals could be extremely shorthanded at the receiver position this week, as Rondale Moore (hamstring) and Marquise Brown (foot) are listed as questionable. Andy Isabella could see some more playing time in Week 4, while Greg Dortch is in line for another prominent role as one of Kyler Murray's top targets.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) is off the injury report and good to go in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. Conner hasn't been all that productive this season, as he has averaged just 3.0 yards per carry for 90 rushing yards in three games. His 10 receptions are an encouraging sign, but one touchdown in three games is worrisome considering how inefficient he has been. Still, he figures to keep maintaining RB2 value for fantasy managers moving forward, but it looks like last year's touchdown production may be hard to replicate this season.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Greg Dortch (back) was limited during Wednesday's practice. Dortch was added to the injury report on Wednesday, although there was footage of him doing minor work alongside his teammates. The 24-year-old has been a nice surprise for a Cardinals offense in desperate need of help at wide receiver outside of Marquise Brown. If he's able to shake this back issue, Dortch will look to continue his role as Kyler Murray's security blanket while Rondale Moore slowly returns from injury.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) was limited in practice for the second day this week on Thursday. Conner played through a questionable tag in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams and he should be fine for Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers, barring a setback later this week. After a big season in 2021, the 27-year-old is off to a slow start with 90 rushing yards and a touchdown on 30 carries while catching 10 of 15 targets for 73 yards through three games. As long as he's active, though, he'll have RB2 upside for fantasy managers as the team's lead back in Week 4 against Carolina. Check back on Friday for his official injury designation going into Sunday's game.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (knee) missed his second straight day of practice this week on Thursday. The veteran wideout is looking unlikely to play in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers. Greg Dortch, not Green, has been the biggest beneficiary of DeAndre Hopkins' suspension to begin the year. Rondale Moore (hamstring) has yet to play this year either. The 34-year-old veteran has just five receptions on 13 targets for 29 yards through the first three games of the year. He should be on the waiver wire in most single-year fantasy leagues, and Green is rostered in just five percent of Yahoo leagues. Even if Moore makes his return on Sunday, Dortch should be the No. 2 wideout behind Marquise Brown.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Greg Dortch (back) and Rondale Moore (hamstring) were both limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day this week. Dortch was a hot waiver-wire pickup this week after catching nine of 10 targets for 80 yards in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. He has really stepped up with DeAndre Hopkins suspended and with Moore yet to make his season debut. Even if Moore plays in Week 4 against the Carolina Panthers, Dortch will likely be the team's No. 2 receiver (if he's active) with A.J. Brown (knee) looking unlikely to play. Antoine Wesley (hip) is also on Injured Reserve, so the Cardinals are extremely beat up at the position. Moore was a popular breakout candidate this summer, but he has yet to play in 2022.
		Arizona Cardinals kicker Matt Prater (hip) was limited in practice for the second straight day this week on Thursday due to a right hip injury. Prater should be able to play in the Week 4 contest against the Carolina Panthers, but fantasy managers should be able to find better options at the position in fantasy. The 38-year-old veteran ranks tied for 26th in total fantasy points through three weeks. He's been perfect on his six kicking attempts (four field goals, two extra points), but he's just not seeing enough volume for an Arizona offense that has yet to hit their stride. All four of his field-goal tries this year came in the Week 3 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) returned to practice on Wednesday. The second-year receiver was spotted warming up with the team. While he could still get a DNP tag on the official injury report, being on the field for warmups is a positive sign. The former Purdue star has yet to play this year after suffering a hamstring injury before the start of the regular season. If Moore makes his season debut this week, it will likely come in a limited fashion since he hasn't played all year. Fantasy managers should leave the former second-round pick on their benches this week.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (knee) has had a modest start to the 2022 season after breaking out as a top-five fantasy option in 2021. Conner handled 16 touches last week, but quarterback Kyler Murray expressed a desire to get his Pro Bowl back more involved. Murray stated that the team needs to get their best players the ball when referring to Conner's opportunities going forward. Conner is dealing with a knee injury and was limited in practice on Wednesday, so fantasy managers will hope he is ready to play with an expanded role in a Week 4 matchup with the Carolina Panthers.

Monday, September 26

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (knee) is dealing with a bone bruise in his left knee that he suffered in the Week 3 loss to the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, and he could miss at least the Week 4 contest against the Carolina Panthers on the road. The 34-year-old was dealing with the knee injury for much of Sunday's game against the Rams, and he finished with zero catches on two targets while playing a season-low 34 percent of the offensive snaps. With Green trending toward missing Week 4, he can most likely be dropped in most 12-team leagues for now. Rondale Moore (hamstring) has yet to make his season debut due to a hamstring injury, which has led to increase opportunity for Greg Dortch, who caught nine of 10 targets for 80 yards on Sunday. The Cardinals offense desperately needs DeAndre Hopkins back.

		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) will test his injury pre-game but is trending towards playing against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 3, according to Adam Schefter. Conner suffered the injury last weekend and carries a "questionable" designation into this Sunday's game. Conner totaled 55 yards and one touchdown back in Week 1. He is the clear lead back in the Arizona offense and should be viewed as a mid-range RB2 for the time being.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. He injured himself last weekend and was listed as questionable for Week 3. Evidently, he felt good enough in warmups to play. Conner totaled 55 yards and one touchdown back in Week 1. He is the clear lead back in the Arizona offense and should be viewed as a mid-range RB2 for the time being.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green (knee) won't return to Sunday's game against the Los Angeles Rams. The veteran was targeted only twice on the day before going down with a knee injury, although there probably weren't many fantasy managers who had him in their starting lineups to begin with. There should be some news regarding the severity of Green's condition soon. However, as of now, consider him questionable ahead of the Week 4 showdown versus the Carolina Panthers. With Rondale Moore (hamstring) still yet to make his season debut, Greg Dortch has stepped up behind Marquise Brown.

Friday, September 23

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) will be a game-time decision in Week 3 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. It makes Conner a pretty risky fantasy option this week with the game being on the later slate on Sunday. If the 27-year-old misses the contest, Darrel Williams and Eno Benjamin would likely split the backfield workload in Arizona, with Williams serving as the early down back and Benjamin more on passing downs. After Conner was injured in the Week 2 overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders, Williams had a long touchdown run and finished with eight carries for 59 yards. Williams needs to be added ASAP off the waiver wire if you have Conner rostered.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) has been ruled out for Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. Moore hasn't played yet this season, but head coach Kliff Kingsbury is optimistic they will be getting their speedy wide receiver back "within the next two weeks." In his absence, Greg Dortch will continue to occupy the slot receiver role. He's seen 13 targets through two games but figures to be behind Marquise Brown and Zach Ertz for looks from quarterback Kyler Murray. Still, Dortch has upside as a FLEX option for as long as Moore remains out of action.

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella (back) returned to practice on Wednesday. Both he and teammate Rondale Moore (hamstring) missed their Week 2 matchup against the Raiders and are trying to return Sunday when they face the Rams. The Cardinals' passing attack has struggled over the first two games forcing quarterback Kyler Murray to make plays with his legs. While the 25-year-old wideout has yet to make an impact in his career, his presence would add another option for the offense. Isabella is not a player to consider starting in fantasy football but rather adds a small amount of value to Murray.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) was seen working on the side in the portion of practice open to the media on Thursday. Moore missed Wednesday's practice and doesn't particularly look close to making his season debut in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. He'll have a chance to return to practice on Friday, but he should be considered highly questionable for this weekend's game. The 22-year-old had been hyped up this offseason as a potential breakout candidate with DeAndre Hopkins serving a lengthy suspension to begin the year, but he hasn't been able to get on the field to prove his upside for fantasy managers. Greg Dortch will remain an intriguing flex play in deeper leagues if Moore misses another game.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) was seen at Thursday's practice after he didn't practice on Wednesday. The Cardinals are calling Conner day-to-day, and his return to practice on Thursday is good news that he'll have a chance to play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams. He's the team's clear lead back when healthy, but if he's unable to play this weekend, Darrel Williams and Eno Benjamin figure to split the backfield work, with Benjamin mostly working on passing downs. Conner ended up playing only 18 percent of the snaps in the Week 2 overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders before getting injured. He rushed seven times for 25 yards and caught two passes for 26 yards.

Wednesday, September 21

TEAM	PLAYER	TRANSACTION
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) is listed as day-to-day. The veteran running back left Sunday's 29-23 overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders because of an ankle injury. The fact that the running back is listed as day-to-day suggests he has a real shot of playing in the Week 3 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. If he can play, fantasy players should feel confident starting him as a low-end RB2. However, if Conner is out this week, Darrel Williams and Eno Benjamin will likely split the backfield workload.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) is considered day-to-day, per head coach Kliff Kingsbury. The second-year player hasn't played this season because of the hamstring injury he suffered a few weeks ago in practice. While Kingsbury sounds optimistic about Moore, ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reported the Cardinals could be without their young receiver for a few more weeks. Meanwhile, Greg Dortch is a potential waiver-wire addition if Moore is out again this week against the Los Angeles Rams. The third-year receiver has 13 targets over the first two games this season, the third-most on the team.

		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner's ankle injury that he suffered in the Week 2 overtime win over the Las Vegas Raiders is not considered to be long-term or serious, according to a source. Conner stayed in uniform after he was injured and stood on the sidelines, which is a positive sign. Before getting hurt, the 27-year-old lead back had seven carries for only 25 yards, adding two catches on four targets for another 26 yards. With Conner hurt, Darrel Williams and Eno Benjamin had eight carries apiece, with Williams going for 59 yards and a touchdown on the ground. The two combined for five catches and 23 yards through the air. If Conner is unable to play in Week 3 against the Los Angeles Rams, Williams and Benjamin would likely share the backfield, with Williams working more on early downs and Benjamin on pass-catching downs.

		Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) is expected to be active in Week 2, but he'll be on a pitch count, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. Watt missed last Sunday's season opener and was listed as questionable heading into this weekend. The 33-year-old played in just seven games last season due to injury, racking up one sack, one fumble recovery, and 16 tackles.
		Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) is officially active for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Watt had been listed as questionable and is now cleared to make his 2022 debut on Sunday. Still, he is expected to have a reduced role in his first game back from injury. For what it's worth, the 33-year-old registered 16 tackles, one sack, and one fumble forced in 2021.
		Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's showdown against Las Vegas. Before exiting, the veteran wasn't having a good day on the ground, accumulating only 25 yards off seven carries. However, he did manage to scrounge together two catches for 26 yards. If Conner misses time moving ahead, Eno Benjamin will likely take over as the team's primary ball carrier out of the backfield.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) won't play on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Andy Isabella (back) is out also, so the team will be short-handed on the receiving end. As a result, fantasy managers may see Marquise Brown get more attention in Week 2. Greg Dortch, who caught seven of his nine targets for 69 yards against the Chiefs in the opener, could also be more involved. However, Dortch should only draw consideration in deep formats.
		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) put in a full practice on Friday and was removed from the Week 2 injury report. He will play in the Week 2 contest against the Las Vegas Raiders. It's likely that the 31-year-old was just receiving a rest day when he didn't take the practice field on Wednesday. Ertz played 60 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 1 blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, catching two of his four targets for only 14 yards and one touchdown. He said he's feeling much better this week, so hopefully he'll be a bit more involved in the passing attack, especially with receivers Rondale Moore and Andy Isabella ruled out with injury. Ertz should be viewed as a low-end TE1 in fantasy.
		Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) is listed as questionable for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders. Watt didn't practice on Wednesday, but he was a limited participant on both Thursday and Friday, giving him a chance to make his season debut this weekend after he was inactive in the season-opening blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. The 33-year-old five-time All-Pro pass-rusher is no longer in the prime of his career and has really struggled to stay healthy in recent years. He played in only seven games in his first year with the Cardinals in 2021 and has played double-digit games in a season just two of the last five seasons.

		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) practiced in full Thursday. He did not practice on Wednesday and was given a maintenance day off. He was upgraded as a full participant on Thursday. The 31-year-old has been dealing with a calf issue since early August but was active for Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. "I feel great now. The calf, God willing, is behind me, so really just focused on being the best I can be on Sunday and find a way to win," said Ertz. He caught two of four targets for 14 yards and a touchdown. Ertz is a borderline TE1 against the Las Vegas Raiders and should be started in most leagues in Week 2.
		Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman J.J. Watt (calf) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice. He has been dealing with a calf injury and was held out of the regular season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 33-year-old did not practice Wednesday and is hopeful of playing in Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders. "It was a good day of work, a good first day back out there (at practice). I'll get some more tomorrow and then go from there," said Watt. The former Houston Texan is trending in the right direction towards suiting up on Sunday but will most likely need to log a full practice on Friday. Stay tuned.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) is not expected to play in Week 2's matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. He has been unable to practice this week and will miss his second straight game due to a hamstring injury. According to Aaron Wilson of the Pro Football Network, Moore will miss Week 2 and could be sidelined for multiple weeks. The 22-year-old initially hurt his hamstring during practice last week. Arizona is depleted at the wide receiver position with Moore, Andy Isabella (back), and DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) out. A.J. Green and Greg Dortch should see an uptick in targets with Moore sidelined, but both are dart throws at best in deep-league formats.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Andy Isabella (back) is not expected to play in Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders. He is dealing with a strained back, but the injury is not considered long-term. The 25-year-old has been unable to practice this week and will not be available against the Raiders. He caught one of three targets for 10 yards during Sunday's Week 1 loss to the Chiefs. Isabella, Rondale Moore (hamstring), and DeAndre Hopkins (suspension) are out. A.J. Green and Greg Dortch should see an uptick in targets with Moore sidelined, but both are dart throws at best in deep-league formats.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receivers Rondale Moore (hamstring) and Andy Isabella (back) have both been ruled out ahead of Week 2. With these wideouts sidelined and DeAndre Hopkins suspended, Arizona will proceed with Marquise Brown, A.J. Green, Greg Dortch, and Zach Ertz headlining the passing game. Brown and Ertz are both worth starting against a suspect Las Vegas Raiders defense. Meanwhile, Green and Dortch have FLEX appeal in deeper formats.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) missed another day of practice on Thursday. Andy Isabella (back) also missed a second straight practice, and if both Moore and Isabella are unavailable for Week 2 against the Las Vegas Raiders, we could see bigger roles from Andre Baccellia and tight end Stephen Anderson. Moore injured his hamstring in practice leading up to the season-opening loss against the Kansas City Chiefs and was inactive in that game. He's trending toward another inactive this Sunday. If the 22-year-old sits out again in Week 2, it will once again be Marquise Brown, veteran A.J. Green and rookie Greg Dortch in starting three-wide sets for the Cardinals. Dortch stood out with seven receptions on nine targets for 63 yards while playing 91% of the snaps on offense.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) did not practice on Wednesday. Yesterday, head coach Kliff Kingsbury told reporters that Moore would try to participate, but it seems that he may not be as close to returning as Arizona had hoped. Kingsbury stated Wednesday that they will not have a clear idea of Moore's availability until later on in the week. When Moore returns, he is expected to play a major role in the Cardinals' offense, at least for the first six weeks with DeAndre Hopkins suspended. He is worthy of a bench stash in all fantasy formats and could be a flex play in deeper leagues when healthy.
		Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) was forced to miss practice on Wednesday after being sidelined in Week 1. Head coach Kliff Kingsbury stated that the team would not expect to have a clear idea of Watt's availability until later in the week. The Cardinals were one of only three teams to not record a sack last Sunday, so Watt's defensive presence was clearly missed. Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes took full advantage of the lack of effective pass-rushing as he threw for 360 yards and five touchdowns. If Watt is unable to play in Week 2, Derek Carr and the Las Vegas Raiders will look to capitalize in an important divisional clash.
		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) was sidelined for the team's practice on Wednesday. Ertz was questionable heading into Week 1 but did suit up and catch a touchdown. Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that the Pro Bowl tight end was on a pitch count against the Kansas City Chiefs but is expected to be a full-go in practice on Thursday ahead of their Week 2 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders. Arizona is in need of offensive weapons with DeAndre Hopkins suspended and Rondale Moore (hamstring) nursing an injury of his own, so Ertz should be started in fantasy lineups assuming he is able to play.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) did not play in Sunday's game against the Chiefs. The extent of the injury remains unclear, however, head coach Kliff Kingsbury reported he would attempt to participate in practice on Wednesday so they can evaluate what he is able to do. Despite an underwhelming rookie season, finishing with 54 receptions for 435 yards and one touchdown, the 22-year-old was a popular breakout candidate this year. The Cardinals are in need of offensive weapons, especially at receiver, so his return would greatly benefit the team. He's a player to stash on your bench until we know more about his health.

		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) is expected to be active for Sunday's game despite being listed as questionable, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Ertz did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, then returned in a limited fashion on Friday. His absence for most of the week is slightly concerning, but it's also possible that the Cardinals were simply exercising extreme caution with their veteran. As long as Ertz is active, he should be started in fantasy football. The 31-year-old has a chance to make a large impact in the passing game with DeAndre Hopkins suspended and Rondale Moore (hamstring) ruled out for this contest.
		Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) is not expected to play in Week 1 versus the Kansas City Chiefs, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN.com. He had been listed as questionable, but the Cardinals don't want to risk further injury with a long season ahead. Michael Dogbe, the No. 2 defensive end on Arizona's depth chart, figures to see a massive uptick in snaps during Watt's absence.
		Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) is inactive for Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs. The star pass-rusher did not practice this week. His absence, although expected, will hurt the Cardinals' defense in a big clash with the Chiefs. At the same time, the news could bode well for the fantasy values of Patrick Mahomes and the other Kansas City playmakers.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) has a 50-50 chance to play on Sunday, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Moore apparently suffered the injury running in practice, but there is still optimism he will be able to suit up against the Kansas City Chiefs. The speedy wideout offers some upside as a flex option in what should be a high-scoring affair on Sunday, but fantasy managers should have a backup plan in place, considering the Cardinals play in the second slate of games. If Moore is to be held out of action, Marquise Brown and A.J. Green would lead the wide receiver corps, while Andy Isabella and Antoine Wesley could see more prominent roles in the offense.
		Arizona Cardinals linebacker Markus Golden has signed a one-year extension worth up to $6.5 million dollars that will keep him under contract through the 2023 season. With the loss of Chandler Jones in the offseason, the Cardinals will rely heavily on Golden, who finished with 11 sacks and 48 tackles (33 solo) last season. The 31-year-old will look to be a big part of slowing down Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs' high-powered offense in Week 1, as the Cardinals will need all they can get out of their playmakers on defense in this one.
		The Arizona Cardinals listed tight end Zach Ertz (calf) and defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) as questionable for the Week 1 regular season opener on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. Watt didn't practice all week, while Ertz returned to a limited practice Friday after being absent on Thursday. The Cardinals also ruled cornerback Trayvon Mullen (toe) out. Making things more difficult for Ertz's fantasy managers is the fact that Arizona's game isn't on the early slate. The 31-year-old seems to be trending in the right direction, but he's shaping up as a shaky low-end TE1 in fantasy. If he does play, he could see heavy target volume from quarterback Kyler Murray in what is expected to be a high-scoring affair with receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) already ruled out and DeAndre Hopkins suspended.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) missed practice on Friday and has officially been ruled out for Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday. Moore injured his hammy in practice on Thursday and was given a 50-50 chance to play by head coach Kliff Kingsbury earlier on Friday, but the Cardinals ended up deciding to hold him out in Week 1. With DeAndre Hopkins suspended for the first six games, the 22-year-old second year wideout has a chance to break out in 2022, but this is obviously a setback. Antoine Wesley (hip) is on Injured Reserve as well, so Marquise Brown, veteran A.J. Green and Andy Isabella should operate in three-wide sets Sunday afternoon in what could become a high-scoring affair against KC.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (undisclosed) wasn't listed on Wednesday's injury report. He had been dealing with an unknown injury that has held him out of action of late, and earlier in the week, head coach Kliff Kingsbury said he was "hopeful" that Moore would be able to play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1. The 22-year-old was removed from the injury report and will now be all systems go for the regular season opener. He caught 54 passes for 435 yards and a touchdown in 14 games in 2021. Moore will have an expanded role to start the season with star wideout DeAndre Hopkins suspended for the first six games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Moore is an appealing flex option in what is projected to be a high-scoring affair in Week 1 against Kansas City.
		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) wasn't seen at Thursday's practice in the portion open to the media. Ertz was limited at practice on Wednesday, but the Cardinals might just be giving the veteran a day of rest as the Week 1 regular season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs approaches on Sunday. The 31-year-old's availability is up in the air right now, but he should be good to go as long as he's limited in Friday's practice session. With receiver DeAndre Hopkins suspended to begin the year, Ertz should have a heavy target share in the passing game. And in a game against a high-octane Chiefs offense on Sunday, Arizona's first game could be high-scoring. If Ertz is active, he'll be a top-10 fantasy tight end play.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (hamstring) was forced to exit Thursday's practice due to injury. The 22-year-old wideout is dealing with a hamstring issue and is set to undergo an MRI. This is a tough blow to a team that is already without DeAndre Hopkins due to his suspension. Also, tight end Zach Ertz (calf) is questionable for Week 1, which leaves the Cardinals without many options. Marquise Brown could be in for a big game with the Cardinals banged up. Fantasy managers that were planning on using Moore as their WR1 should look for other options. It sounds like there is a decent chance that Moore misses the season opener. A.J. Green and Antoine Wesley would see a bigger workload behind Brown, assuming Moore does miss Sunday's contest against the Kansas City Chiefs.

		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) was back at practice on Wednesday. Ertz is dealing with a lingering calf injury, but the fact that he was able to return to practice on Wednesday is good news for his status for the Week 1 regular season opener this Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. For now, fantasy managers should consider him day-to-day, but as long as he doesn't suffer any setbacks, we feel confident that he'll be active this Sunday in what could be a high-scoring affair between two high-octane offenses. And with receiver DeAndre Hopkins suspended for the first six games of the year, Ertz should be an even bigger part of the passing game. Consider him a top-10 fantasy tight end in Week 1 if he's active.
		Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that defensive end J.J. Watt (calf) is day-to-day with a calf injury. He wasn't able to practice on Wednesday. Watt is now 33 years old and is becoming a big injury concern for fantasy managers in IDP leagues. He managed to play in only seven regular season games in 2021 due to a serious shoulder injury and also played in just eight games in his second-to-last season with the Houston Texans in 2019. The five-time All-Pro and five-time Pro Bowler could still end up playing in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, but he's no longer reliable as a starting defensive lineman in IDP fantasy formats. The Cardinals defense/special teams should be avoided in a tough Week 1 meeting with the Chiefs.
		The Arizona Cardinals placed quarterback Colt McCoy (calf) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday and promoted Trace McSorley to the active roster from the practice squad in a corresponding move. McCoy will now miss at least the first four games of the regular season after recently suffering a strained calf. With McCoy now out of action for at least the first four games, McSorley will serve as the direct backup to starter Kyler Murray early in the 2022 season. The 27-year-old signal-caller has played in just three games (no starts) in his two seasons in the NFL with the Baltimore Ravens, going 3-for-10 for 90 yards and one touchdown. The Cardinals will be in real trouble if Murray is injured early on and McSorley is forced into starting duties.

		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (undisclosed) is reportedly doing better and did more in practice on Monday than he had in previous sessions. Moore is dealing with an unknown injury that has held him out of action of late, but head coach Kliff Kingsbury is reportedly "hopeful" that Moore will be able to play against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 1. The Cards will have to officially list Moore's ailment on Wednesday's practice report, so the mystery as to what has been keeping him out will be revealed. The team indicated earlier in training camp that they want to use Moore in a more robust way in the offense in 2022 after a disappointing rookie season last year. Moore is a WR4 with upside in fantasy this year.

		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) is being called "day-to-day" by head coach Kliff Kingsbury, so this will be a situation worth monitoring before Week 1 start-or-sit decisions. Arizona faces off with Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs in what should be a high-scoring affair with plenty of fantasy football intrigue in the season opener. Ertz is an attractive option at tight end while receiver DeAndre Hopkins serves his six-game suspension, so his status will be important. If he doesn't play, receivers Marquise Brown and Rondale Moore will likely see more work. Rookie tight end Trey McBride would be viewed as a risky play with upside. Stay tuned for further updates.

		The Arizona Cardinals placed cornerback Antonio Hamilton (foot) on the Reserve/Non-Football Injury list on Thursday following a cooking accident in his home, according to sources. He'll miss at least the first four games of the regular season as a result. Hamilton suffered severe burns on his feet and will now be sidelined early in the year. The 29-year-old had a career-high 38 tackles (31 solo), four passes defensed and a fumble recovery in 17 regular season games (two starts) in his first year in Arizona in 2021. Hamilton has 88 tackles (71 solo) and nine passes defensed in his six NFL seasons with the Cardinals, Las Vegas Raiders, New York Giants and Kansas City Chiefs.
		The Arizona Cardinals signed safety Jalen Thompson to a contract extension on Friday that will run through the 2025 season. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Thompson has emerged as one of the best young defenders on the roster while teaming with Pro Bowler Budda Baker. The 24-year-old played in all 17 regular season games (12 starts) in 2021 and recorded a career-high 121 tackles, three interceptions and four pass breakups. "I'm trying to go Pro Bowl this year," Thompson said. "Last year I feel I could've made it. Unfortunately I didn't. But (goals are) making the Pro Bowl, making my team better, being a leader, and getting to a Super Bowl."

		Arizona Cardinals tight end Zach Ertz (calf) will "be close" in terms of his availability for Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Ertz didn't play at all in the preseason while dealing with a calf issue since early August, and he now appears questionable to play in the regular season opener. We'll have a better idea of the 31-year-old's availability after we see how much he practices next week in the leadup to the contest against KC. Fantasy managers better have a backup plan in place in case Ertz isn't active in Week 1. If Ertz is limited or out against the Chiefs, rookie second-rounder Trey McBride and Maxx Williams would have bigger roles.
		Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore (undisclosed) will "be close" in terms of his availability for Week 1 of the regular season against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to head coach Kliff Kingsbury. It's unknown what exactly is ailing Moore, but he didn't play at all in the preseason, along with the rest of the starters. The 22-year-old still has some time to get ready for the regular season opener, but for now, he should be considered questionable for Week 1. We'll have a better idea of his status based on his practice participation next week. Moore has an opportunity to break out in 2022 with DeAndre Hopkins suspended for the first six games after he had 54 catches for 435 yards and a touchdown in 2021.

		After drafting two outside linebackers earlier this year, the Arizona Cardinals released veteran linebacker Devon Kennard on Monday, according to a source. Kennard was penciled in as a starter and had a strong training camp this summer, but the Cardinals have decided to give their younger players more opportunities. The 31-year-old had only 30 solo tackles, 12 tackles for loss, 11 QB hits, three sacks and a fumble recovery in his two seasons in the desert, and he'll now be looking for work elsewhere before Week 1 of the regular season. The former fifth-round pick of the New York Giants in 2014 has 350 tackles (242 solo) and 26.5 sacks in 111 career games (72 starts) in eight NFL seasons with the Giants, Detroit Lions and Cardinals.

		Arizona Cardinals defensive end J.J. Watt (illness) tested positive for COVID-19 on Sunday and will miss the team's preseason game against the Ravens. Additionally, the 33-year-old will not travel with the team to Tennessee for the preseason finale against the Titans. The former Defensive Player of the Year has struggled with injuries in the latter part of his career. However, he still figures to be a key contributor this year and has always been a well-respected leader in the locker room. Watt will hopefully be back to full health soon to resume practicing and preparing for the 2022 season.

		Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray (wrist) and wide receiver Marquise Brown (hamstring) finally worked together for the first time this summer at training camp practice on Monday. "They just have a chemistry you can't really coach," wide receiver Greg Dortch said. "This is a grown man's game, but they are like kids out there, having fun with each other. It's fun watching them click like that." Murray and Brown have been eased into camp due to respective injuries, but they are finally working together to build chemistry for the 2022 regular season. With DeAndre Hopkins suspended for the first six games of the year, Brown will be Murray's No. 1 wideout, and he'll have low-end WR2/high-end WR3 value in fantasy drafts in his first year in Arizona.
