Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson caught two passes for 86 yards in a 28-16 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3, and he is averaging 23.0 yards per catch this season.
Huddle Up: The rookie has been limited to seven catches on nine targets through three games, but he appears to be carving out a role as a deep threat. Wilson's big-play potential is something to keep an eye on, especially in keeper leagues.

Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz leads all tight ends with 18 targets through two games, and his 12 receptions rank second at the position.
Huddle Up: Ertz has turned those 12 receptions into just 76 yards, but his heavy usage should provide tight end-needy fantasy owners with stability at the position, albeit with minimal upside.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (calf) fully participated in practice Friday, Sept. 15, and is not on the injury report for Week 2.
Huddle Up: Conner should continue to see plenty of touches during games and can be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 9/14/2023 8:53 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (calf) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 14.
Huddle Up: Conner seems to have a decent chance to play in the Week 2 game, but fantasy players can look for a better understanding of his status later in the week. He should be a starting option in all fantasy leagues if he is active.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (calf) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 13.
Huddle Up: Conner has dealt with injuries during his career, so fantasy players should monitor the situation to see if he is in any danger of missing Week 2. He can be considered a No. 2 running back or flex option if he is active for the game.

Arizona Cardinals QB Joshua Dobbs will be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals in Week 2, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Huddle Up: Dobbs only threw for 132 yards in the first game but probably will keep the starting job for the time being. He can be avoided in all fantasy leagues.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner rushed 14 times for a game-high 62 yards in Week 1 against the Washington Commanders, while adding five grabs for eight yards on his five targets.
Huddle Up: It wasn't a horrible day, and it wasn't great. Considering the fact the Cardinals were using a quarterback who just arrived several days ago, it was not terrible for Conner and the offense. Conner remains more of a low-end RB2 in fantasy leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 2 against the New York Giants.

Arizona Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (hamstring) is active for Week 1's game against the Washington Commanders.
Huddle Up: Brown had been listed as questionable on the injury report after being a limited practice participant throughout the week. He is expected to be Arizona's top receiving option and can be viewed as a WR3 or flex option in most fantasy leagues.
Posted 9/10/2023 3:55 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (knee) is active for Week 1's game against the Washington Commanders.
Huddle Up: Ertz had been listed as questionable on the injury report after being a limited participant in all three of the team's practice sessions during the week. He makes a risky fantasy option because he is returning from a torn ACL and MCL and could see limited snaps as the team eases him back into action.
Posted 9/08/2023 8:11 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 8, and is listed as questionable for Week 1.
Huddle Up: Ertz probably will be eased back into the offense and may only see a few targets if he is active for Week 1. Fantasy players probably can avoid him this week, but Ertz could have more value later in the season.
Posted 9/08/2023 8:08 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (hamstring) was limited during practice Friday, Sept. 8, and is listed as questionable for Week 1.
Huddle Up: Brown was able to do some things during all three practices this week but could be a game-time decision for Week 1. He will be the main option in the passing game this season and can be a No. 3 receiver or flex option if active.
Posted 9/07/2023 8:26 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Sept. 7.
Huddle Up: Ertz probably will be eased back into the lineup, so he may only see a few targets if he is active for the game. Fantasy players probably should look for other options and can avoid Ertz.
Posted 9/06/2023 10:58 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (knee) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 6.
Huddle Up: Ertz is coming off a serious knee injury, so his role in the passing game is uncertain at this point. Fantasy players probably should look for other options and avoid Ertz for now.
Posted 9/06/2023 10:51 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (hamstring) was limited during practice Wednesday, Sept. 6.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation to see if Brown is in danger of missing the Week 1 game. He will be the main option in the passing game when healthy and could be a No. 3 receiver or flex option in fantasy leagues.
Posted 9/06/2023 7:04 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Joshua Dobbs is expected to be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals in Week 1, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
Huddle Up: Dobbs has been with the team for only a few weeks but should be familiar with offensive coordinator Drew Petzing's scheme since they with the Cleveland Browns at the same time. He probably will start until Kyler Murray is healthy but can be avoided in all leagues.
Posted 9/04/2023 1:19 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Clayton Tune is "ready to go" if he is named the starter, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Huddle Up: Tune remains in a battle with Joshua Dobbs for the starting job heading into Week 1, but neither plays figures to make much of a fantasy impact.
Posted 8/30/2023 7:28 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (knee) is not certain to play in Week 1, he said on Wednesday, Aug. 30.
Huddle Up: While Ertz has been cleared to practice, he still needs to see how his knee responds before proclaiming himself ready. With a rough situation at quarterback and coming off a serious injury, Ertz should be viewed as a shaky TE2 going into 2023.
Posted 8/28/2023 11:25 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Joshua Dobbs and QB Clayton Tune are the main candidates for the starting quarterback job, but head coach Jonathan Gannon said the team is not ready to name their Week 1 starter.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should know the starter at some point next week, but neither Dobbs nor Tune has much fantasy value.
Posted 8/28/2023 6:43 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (knee) is not expected to be activated from the Physically Unable to Perform list before Tuesday, Aug. 29. If he is not activated before then, Murray will be ineligible to play the first four games of the regular season.
Huddle Up: Arizona's recent trade for Joshua Dobbs hinted that was likely the case since teams do not carry four quarterbacks on their active roster. The Cardinals already had Colt McCoy (who was just released Monday) and rookie Clayton Tune before adding Dobbs. Regardless of which non-Murray starts for Arizona, he should not be anywhere close to a fantasy roster outside of superflex or two-quarterback leagues. However, Murray is a worthy stash in leagues that have IR spots.
Posted 8/14/2023 2:49 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals TE Zach Ertz (knee) received full clearance for football activities Monday, Aug. 14, and is on track to play in Week 1.
Huddle Up: That's impressive nine months after tearing his ACL and MCL, especially for a player that hasn't been the most durable. He'll be in the TE2 mix in drafts.
Posted 7/26/2023 3:26 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (knee) was placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list Wednesday, July 26.
Huddle Up: Murray wants to be ready for the season, but that's a tall order. He's best utilized as a QB2 to mix and match with another low-end QB2 or high-end QB2.
Posted 7/13/2023 2:39 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (knee) said his goal is to be ready to play in Week 1. "That's the goal," Murray said. "At the end of the day, that's the goal, but I can't really look that far ahead. Got to take it one day at a time."
Huddle Up: It seems doubtful that Murray will be ready for the opener, and the Cardinals will almost certainly take a cautious approach with their quarterback. His dual-threat ability gives him as much upside as any player at the position, and for fantasy owners willing to stash him, Murray could be a major X-factor down the stretch run.
Posted 7/12/2023 8:25 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals WRs Rondale Moore, Greg Dortch and Zach Pascal are expected to compete for the No. 2 wide receiver job during training camp.
Huddle Up: The Cardinals probably will not have Kyler Murray to start the season, so the fantasy value of all three receivers will not be high. Moore and Dortch had success at times last season but probably are not more than late round picks in drafts.
Posted 6/14/2023 3:18 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals WR Marquise Brown (foot) was held out of practice for precautionary reasons due to a foot issue Tuesday, June 13.
Huddle Up: Although the decision to sit Brown on Tuesday may have been precautionary, this is at least the sixth documented foot "issue" that he has had in roughly 4 1/2 years. Arizona may not be playing for much in 2023, but it needs Brown to stay healthy after releasing DeAndre Hopkins a couple of weeks ago. Assuming Brown is good to go, he should be a decent WR3 option with WR2 upside when Kyler Murray (knee) returns.
Posted 4/29/2023 2:50 am GMT
Stanford WR Michael Wilson was selected by the Arizona Cardinals with the 94th overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Huddle Up: Wilson joins a somewhat crowded receiving corps, but DeAndre Hopkins' future is in doubt, and Rondale Moore has struggled to stay healthy. Wilson could have a chance to prove himself before too long.
Posted 4/07/2023 11:48 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (knee) posted a video of him doing squats with weights 13 weeks after undergoing surgery on his torn anterior cruciate ligament.
Huddle Up: Murray is making progress but is still a question mark for the start of the 2023 season. Fantasy players will need to monitor his situation during the offseason because he can be a low-end No. 1 fantasy quarterback when healthy.
Posted 3/28/2023 5:21 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (knee) will play "whenever he is ready to play," according to head coach Jonathan Gannon, who avoided putting a definite timeline on when Murray on his return from a torn anterior cruciate ligament because "you're always wrong when you do that."
Huddle Up: Estimates on Murray's timeline are all over the place, but it appears to be a safe bet he will miss at least a part - perhaps a significant part - of the 2023 season. Backup Colt McCoy is also going to be limited to begin the offseason, meaning there is a very real chance Trace McSorley or David Blough will see substantial playing time in the preseason and possibly even the regular season if McCoy struggles yet again to stay healthy. Murray appears to be a great IR stash candidate right now in fantasy leagues that have multiple IR spots.
