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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Impending free-agent WR Kendrick Bourne (49ers) agreed to terms on a two-year contract with the Arizona Cardinals Monday, March 9, worth $11.47 million. The deal can be worth as much as $16.47 million with incentives and bonuses.
Huddle Up: Bourne will likely be the No. 3 receiver for the Cardinals behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson. He may see a few targets each game but will probably only be a late round pick in some fantasy drafts because of the other pass catchers the Cardinals have on the roster.

Impending free-agent RB Tyler Allgeier (Falcons) has reportedly agreed to terms with the Arizona Cardinals on a two-year, $12.25 million deal, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network on Monday, March 9.
Huddle Up: Allgeier has been one of the better backup running backs in the NFL over his four seasons, and he saw a heavy volume of carries in his rookie season, notching 1,035 yards with the Falcons in 2022. However, his carries and opportunities have lessened with the arrival of Bijan Robinson in the Falcons' backfield. Allgeier now links up with the Arizona Cardinals, where he'll vie for a starting opportunity. For fantasy football, opportunity is king for running backs, and Allgeier has shown glimpses of efficiency and touchdown-scoring ability. Allgeier's fantasy value is still a bit up in the air, but he should be ahead of the pack in Arizona as a mid-range RB2 with upside.

Arizona Cardinals PK Chad Ryland has agreed to terms on a one-year contract, sources said Sunday, March 8. Financial terms on the agreement are undisclosed.
Huddle Up: Ryland did a good job in 2025 for the Cardinals, hitting 25-of-33 on field goals, including 6-of-10 from 50+ yards, while going 36-for-36 on point-after attempts. He had 111 points in 2025, a new career high, and he is averaging 110.5 points in his first two seasons with the Cardinals. He could be a borderline PK1/PK2 in fantasy leagues in 2026. Most likely, he will be used as a bye-week replacement and streaming option, mostly.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner has agreed to a revised contract for 2026. He was scheduled to have a $9.8 million salary cap hit in 2026, making $7.9 million. Terms of the restructured deal were not yet available, only that he agreed to the revision on Sunday, March 8.
Huddle Up: Conner started the season with a total of two touchdowns in the first two games, but he suffered a season-ending ankle injury in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers, and then it was a turnstile in the backfield for Arizona. Conner will be 31 years old by the time the regular season starts, and he has 110 NFL games under his belt in nine seasons with the Cardinals and Pittsburgh Steelers. There is a lot of mileage on that odometer. While fantasy managers will still want him for his scoring ability in 2026, make sure to have plenty of depth on hand at the position.

Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love is viewed as a "three-down running back, that can play in the pass game as well," according to Tennessee Titans general manager Mike Borgonzi.
Huddle Up: Love is expected to be a top ten pick in the 2026 NFL Draft and would become one of the top picks in rookie drafts. Outside of those, Love should be able to come in and produce decent numbers to be a safe RB2 with the potential to be an RB1 in the 2026 season.

Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love is already a highly-rated prospect heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, and his 4.36-second 40-yard dash was the second-best among all running backs. Still, he was a little disappointed in the result. It was the same time recorded by Detroit Lions RB Jahmyr Gibbs in the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine, and he has been likened to Gibbs by some scouts, including NFL.com draft analyst Lance Zierlein. Love did not participate in the vertical or broad jump at the combine.
Huddle Up: Love finished third in the 2025 Heisman Trophy voting, and he turned in 1,372 rushing yards and 18 touchdowns, while adding 27 receptions for 280 yards and three more scores for Notre Dame in his impressive junior season. He is projected to go off the board in the Top 10 on draft day, perhaps even in the Top 5. For fantasy purposes, he is expected to be a plug-and-play option, or immediate starter, so fantasy managers will want to pay him close mind, especially in long-term keeper formats.

Atlanta Falcons impending free-agent RB Tyler Allgeier is seeking a contract "in the neighborhood of three years, $22 million this offseason", in the opinion of The Athletic's Josh Kendall.
Huddle Up: Allgeier has been one of the better backup running backs in the NFL over his four seasons, and he saw a heavy volume of carries in his rookie season, notching 1,035 yards with the Falcons in 2022. However, his carries and opportunities have lessened with the arrival of Bijan Robinson in the Falcons' backfield. Set to hit free agency in March, Allgeier is clearly looking for a starting opportunity. For fantasy football, opportunity is king for running backs, and Allgeier has shown glimpses of efficiency and touchdown-scoring ability. Pay attention to his landing spot come free agency, as Allgeier's fantasy value is directly tied to where he ends up in 2026.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner could be a candidate to be released this offseason because the team would save more than $7.5 million if they let him go, in the opinion of CardsWire's Jess Root.
Huddle Up: Conner missed a majority of the season because of an injury but should be a starting running back for a team in 2026. Fantasy players can monitor the situation over the next month to see where he will be playing next season. He will likely be a No. 2 or No. 3 running back in fantasy leagues.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett may be placed on the trade block if the team decides to keep QB Kyler Murray, in the opinion of ESPN.com's Jeremy Fowler.
Huddle Up: Brissett played in 14 games this past season and threw for 23 touchdowns and eight interceptions during that span. He would likely receive interest from a few teams if he became available but will only be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback if he starts for a team in 2026.

Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson recorded 809 of his 1,006 receiving yards during the second half of the 2025 regular season. He also caught six of his seven touchdowns during that span.
Huddle Up: Wilson became one of the main targets in the passing game once Marvin Harrison Jr. suffered his injury and was able to produce with the added workload. He should be one of the starting receivers for the Cardinals next season and can be at least a No. 4 receiver in most fantasy leagues.

Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride caught nine of his 11 touchdowns during the second half of games this season. He did record 658 receiving yards in the first half of games and 563 receiving yards in the second half.
Huddle Up: McBride has been a significant part of the passing game over the last few seasons but saw a big jump in touchdowns compared to last season. He should be a top option again next year for the Cardinals and will be one of the first tight ends to be selected in fantasy drafts.

Arizona Cardinals TE Elijah Higgins caught all three of his targets for 28 yards in a 37-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Outside of a 91-yard performance in Week 16, it was a quiet year for Higgins. Of course, there aren't exactly a lot of targets to go around at the position with Trey McBride setting reception records. Still, Higgins showed he can produce when give the chance, and if McBride were to miss time next year, Higgins could enter the streaming conversation.

Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride caught seven of his eight targets for 65 yards in a 37-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18, extending his single-season record for receptions by a tight end to 126.
Huddle Up: Not only did McBride set the reception record, but he also set new highs in both receiving yards and touchdowns. In fact, his 11 touchdown receptions were five more than he had in his three previous seasons combined. McBride should be considered the No. 1 option at tight end heading into 2026.

Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson caught five of his eight targets for 99 yards and a touchdown in a 37-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18.
Huddle Up: When Marvin Harrison Jr. went down with an injury, Wilson more than filled the void. He ended up going over 1,000 receiving yards for the year and caught six touchdowns in the final five games. If the Cardinals can figure out their quarterback situation, Wilson should be able to maintain fantasy relevance, even while playing alongside Harrison.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 22 of his 31 passes for 243 yards, two touchdowns and an interception in a 37-20 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 18. He also rushed three times for 19 yards and a lost a fumble.
Huddle Up: Brissett put up solid number after taking over as the starter, and he threw multiple touchdowns in 10 of his 12 starts. Of course, the Cardinals also lost 11 of those games. With the Kyler Murray era likely over, the Cardinals will presumably look to add a young quarterback ahead of next season. Brissett could still open the year as the starter, but it would be a surprise to see him under center for the entire year.

Atlanta Falcons RB Tyler Allgeier rushed for 16 yards on seven carries against the New Orleans Saints in Week 18. He also caught one pass for three yards during the game.
Huddle Up: Allgeier will be a free agent this offseason, so fantasy players will need to see if he will return to the Falcons or join a new team. He may not be able to find a starting job but likely will have a solid role for a team in 2026. He can be a No. 3 or No. 4 running back in fantasy leagues depending on his situation.

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (foot, heel) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Friday, Jan. 2.
Huddle Up: Michael Wilson has taken over as the top receiver while Harrison has been sidelined and has posted at least 50 yards in six of the last seven games. He should be a starting option in all leagues this week.
