Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love took snaps with both the first and second teams during OTAs and minicamp.
Huddle Up: While Love didn't work exclusively with the starters, the rookie is expected to be the lead back for Arizona. That being said, the Cardinals do have several options at running back, which could cap Love's upside a bit, at least in his first season. Love should still be a quality RB2 with the ability to deliver some RB1 performances.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett continues to seek a reworked contract, according to head coach Mike LaFleur, who noted that both sides will engage in negotiations before training camp opens July 22. Brissett's dissatisfaction reportedly stems from his current deal only containing $1.5 million of guaranteed money for the 2026 season.
Huddle Up: Brissett skipped optional offseason workouts because of the contract situation but appeared at the team's mandatory minicamp earlier this month to avoid getting fined by the Cardinals, although he did not participate in on-field work. Although he tops Arizona's depth chart at quarterback, he should only be viewed as a QB2 option in fantasy leagues.

Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson said extension talks are "going great" and that he is hopeful to remain with the Cardinals moving forward. "That being said, I also do love the Cardinals organization and I truly do want to be one of those guys that plays for one organization their whole career," Wilson said. "That is a goal of mine, and how cool would it be?"
Huddle Up: Wilson emerged as Arizona's No. 1 option last season after Marvin Harrison Jr. went down with an injury, and he was able to eclipse 1,000 yards while catching seven touchdowns. His workload will almost certainly decrease with Harrison back in the mix, but Wilson should at least be a WR4 in 2026.

Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love will likely be the starting running back when the 2026 season begins, in the opinion of AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban.
Huddle Up: The Cardinals have several options at running back, but Love should be the leading candidate for the job since the team selected him with the third overall pick in the draft. He will see a majority of the work if he stays healthy and should be a weekly starting option in all leagues.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle, foot) should be available for the start of training camp, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
Huddle Up: The Cardinals drafted Jeremiyah Love, but Conner could still have a solid role if the team does not think Love is ready for a full workload. Fantasy players should monitor his role during training camp because he can be a No. 3 or No. 4 fantasy back depending on the role.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett did not but participate in on-field work during the Tuesday, June 9 minicamp practice, according to a report.
Huddle Up: Brissett skipped offseason workouts because of his contract situation but did report for the minicamp. He is the leading candidate for the starting quarterback job still and will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts.
Posted 6/08/2026 10:55 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love has received work as a kick returner during offseason workouts, but special teams coordinator Michael Ghobiel indicated that Love may only be an emergency option for the position.
Huddle Up: Love should have an impactful role in the offense right away, so he is unlikely to see many kick return chances during games. He should take over the starting job at some point during the season and can be at least a No. 2 running back in leagues.
Posted 6/08/2026 6:21 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett officially reported for the mandatory minicamp Monday, June 8.
Huddle Up: Brissett has skipped offseason workouts because of his contract situation but did report for the minicamp. He is the leading candidate for the starting quarterback job still and will be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts.

Arizona Cardinals WR Devin Duvernay will continue to return kicks and punts, as he enters his seventh season in the NFL, but he also wants to be more than just a one-dimensional player. "Finding a role on offense, earning the trust of my teammates, my coaches is definitely the goal, but I plan on doing all of that, helping any way I can, being the ultimate team player," Duvernay said.
Huddle Up: While Duvernay hopes to be more involved in the passing game, he finds himself in a receivers room with Michael Wilson, Marvin Harrison Jr. and veteran Kendrick Bourne, so the targets might be hard to come by, especially when Trey McBride is also factored in at tight end, and rookie running back Jeremiyah Love is looking to establish himself, too. For fantasy purposes, Duvernay will help the Cardinals D/ST way more than he will be useful as an individual option. He could be useful in leagues which reward individual return yardage, however.

Arizona Cardinals coach Mike LaFleur says QB Jacoby Brissett is "just fine" despite him missing time at the team's OTAs.
Huddle Up: Brissett is the Cardinals' only option at quarterback at this point in the offseason. The team also has Gardner Minshew and Carson Beck, but neither has played in the system. Regardless, the Cardinals quarterback situation should be avoided in fantasy, barring injuries.
Posted 5/27/2026 1:20 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett did not report to organized team activities on Tuesday, May 26, as he continues his hold out.
Huddle Up: He did not attend any of the team's prior voluntary OTAs or the voluntary offseason program because of disappointment over his current contract situation. Jacoby Brissett

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. is heading into Year 3 after two mostly underwhelming seasons. He jelled nicely with QB Jacoby Brissett, who could be the starting quarterback in 2025, but it's possible he has to work with journeyman QB Gardner Minshew or rookie QB Carson Beck, which could stunt his growth.
Huddle Up: Fantasy managers in keeper formats who are patiently waiting for Harrison to break out face the prospect of the receiver working with yet another new quarterback, which is certainly not optimal. The good news is that he will be working in the offensive-minded system of new head coach Jonathan Gannon. For now, though, it's wait-and-see, and patience is starting to wear thin.
Posted 5/22/2026 9:12 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett is far apart in his contract extension talks with the Cardinals, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Brissett has been skipping the offseason program this offseason because of his contract situation, so fantasy players will need to see if he reports for the mandatory minicamp in June. He is expected to be the starting quarterback to start the season but will not be more than a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.
Posted 5/18/2026 7:25 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett was not present for the voluntary workout Monday, May 18.
Huddle Up: Brissett is looking for a new contract and may not report until the mandatory minicamp in June. He is likely the leading candidate for the starting quarterback job at this point but is only a low-end No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 5/16/2026 8:56 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck could see some playing time during the second half of the 2026 season if the Cardinals are not competing for a playoff spot, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Josh Weinfuss.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players can keep an eye on the situation, but Beck should not have much fantasy value during his rookie season and can be avoided. He had a chance to become a valuable option in a few years if he takes over as the starter.
Posted 5/12/2026 9:39 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett was informed by the team that he is their starting quarterback, despite missing voluntary workouts, according to a source on Tuesday, May 11.
Huddle Up: Brissett played in 14 games this past season and threw for 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions during that span. As the veteran skips voluntary workouts in hopes of a new contract, Brissett has weapons around him like Trey McBride, Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. Those weapons and Brissett's gunslinging ability would make him a sleeper option for Week 1 for fantasy football. Brissett isn't a top-12 quarterback, but as a locked-in starting quarterback, he'll be one of the next few quarterbacks off the board in fantasy drafts later this summer.
Posted 5/03/2026 8:30 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Beck might take a backseat in his rookie season, sitting and learning. Head coach Mike LaFleur said Sunday, May 3, that "it won't be the worst thing for him" if Beck ends up sitting for part or all of his rookie season. "It benefits anyone in any position to be able to sit back," LaFleur said. "Sometimes, guys don't have the choice because you have to put your best 22 out on the field there."
Huddle Up: Assuming Jacoby Brissett's contract situation is ironed out, the rookie Beck will be behind Brissett and veteran Gardner Minshew in the quarterback's room. There is very little reason to pay Beck any mind in redraft fantasy leagues, and his long-term viability in keeper formats is a little murky. He is a bit on the older side for a rookie at 23, and he'll turn 24 in November. Keep that in mind, too.

Arizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier signed with the Cardinals in the offseason because he believed he would be the lead running back.
Huddle Up: That is probably not the case after the Cards selected Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love at No. 3 overall in the NFL Draft. Allgeier ran for eight touchdowns last season and has been a durable back in his career. He'll have RB3 value in fantasy, but the selection of Love definitely puts him in a backseat in the offense.
Posted 4/25/2026 1:18 am GMT
Miami (FL) QB Carson Beck was selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the 65th overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: While it remains to be seen if Beck can develop into a franchise quarterback, landing in Arizona should give him a shot to see some game action in the near future. There is a decent chance that he ends up under center at some point next season, and it isn't out of the question that he pushes Jacoby Brissett for the Week 1 starting job.
Posted 4/24/2026 12:19 am GMT
Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love was selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the No. 3 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Love joins a somewhat crowded backfield, but expect the rookie to see plenty of touches. He will be the favorite to be the No. 1 pick in rookie drafts, and with his every-down ability, Love should immediately be in the RB1 conversation in all formats.
Posted 4/22/2026 3:24 pm GMT
University of Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love is the logical selection for the Arizona Cardinals if they are unable to trade back from the No. 3 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, in the opinion of ESPN insider Adam Schefter.
Huddle Up: Love would be an RB1 option in fantasy despite what team selects him. The Cardinals have a lot of questions on offense, but Love has the talent to produce with holes around him.
Posted 4/16/2026 9:36 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett and QB Gardner Minshew are the main candidates for the team's starting quarterback job at this point, but general manager Monte Ossenfort said the team is not ready to name a starter yet.
Huddle Up: There is a chance that the Cardinals add a quarterback during the 2026 NFL Draft, so there will likely be multiple candidates for the job. Brissett is probably the leading candidate at this point but will only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts.
Posted 3/29/2026 1:06 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier said he thinks he is a good fit for Arizona's outside zone scheme, but the team has not discussed how carries will be divided.
Huddle Up: Allgeier will join James Conner and Trey Benson in the backfield, but both Conner and Benson are coming off injuries. Allgeier showed promise during his time as Bijan Robinson's backup in Atlanta, so he knows how to be productive while working in a committee. That being said, it will likely take Conner missing time for Allgeier to have a featured role.
Posted 3/21/2026 7:49 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals TE Teagan Quitoriano signed a one-year, $1.24 million contract, which will count $1.1 million against Arizona's salary cap in 2026.
Huddle Up: As strictly a blocking tight end, Quitoriano hasn't logged a single target in two seasons, much less a reception. With just nine receptions in 40 total NFL games across four seasons, you can safely leave Quitoriano undrafted in 2026.
Posted 3/13/2026 11:15 pm GMT
Free-agent WR Kendrick Bourne (49ers) officially signed with the Arizona Cardinals Thursday, March 12. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Bourne will likely be the No. 3 receiver behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson, which could hurt his fantasy value. He may be a few targets each game but may not be more than a late-round pick in some deeper leagues.
Posted 3/13/2026 12:22 am GMT
Free-agent RB Tyler Allgeier (Falcons) officially signed with the Arizona Cardinals Thursday, March 12.
Huddle Up: Allgeier joins a backfield with James Conner and Trey Benson, but given the injury history of both incumbents, it wouldn't be a surprise to see Allgeier lead the Arizona ground attack in 2026. If he secures the lead role, a RB2 finish could be on tap for Allgeier.
Posted 3/12/2026 12:29 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett has not been informed that he will enter 2026 as the starting quarterback, according to a source.
Huddle Up: Although Kyler Murray is officially out of the picture, the Cardinals did add Gardner Minshew to the quarterback room. Brissett put up solid stats after taking over as the starter last year, but it remains to be seen if Arizona will add another veteran at the position or draft a rookie.
Posted 3/11/2026 6:11 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB Bam Knight agreed to terms on a new one-year contract with the Cardinals Wednesday, March 11. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Knight had some success this past season when he was asked to take on a bigger role, but he will likely be part of a committee next season with James Conner and Trey Benson. Fantasy players can monitor the situation, but Knight will not have much value if he sees a limited workload.
Posted 3/11/2026 2:54 pm GMT
Updating previous reports, Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner revised his contract to a one-year, $2.355 million deal with $2.1 million guaranteed. It will carry a $4.83-million salary cap figure.
Huddle Up: The Cards signed Tyler Allgeier and still have Trey Benson, which makes Conner's outlook murky in his age-31 season. He'll be a depth back to handcuff to Allgeier later in drafts.
