Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. ranked fifth in the NFL with 17 end zone targets, and his 10 catches on passes thrown 20 or more yards down the field ranked second.
Huddle Up: With just 885 receiving yards, Harrison didn't live up to his lofty expectations. Still, he did finish with eight touchdowns and was clearly Kyler Murray's go-to target near the end zone. Consider Harrison a high-upside WR3 heading into his second season.

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. caught five of his six targets for 63 yards and a touchdown in a 47-24 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 18.
Huddle Up: Harrison's rookie season didn't live up to expectations, but he did finish with eight touchdown receptions. He should be viewed as a WR3 heading into 2025, but if Kyler Murray decides to push the ball down the field more, Harrison could quickly vault into WR2 territory.

Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson (hamstring) has been declared inactive for the Week 18 game.
Huddle Up: Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey McBride likely will see more of the targets in the passing game with Wilson unavailable and should both be starting options in all fantasy leagues.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) was placed on the Reserve/Injured list Wednesday, Jan. 1. The team also signed practice squad RB Michael Carter to their 53-man roster. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: Conner finished the season with 1,094 yards and should recover in time for the 2025 season and will be a weekly starting option next season. Carter should see most of the work in Week 18 and can be at least a flex option in leagues.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner's (knee) won't play in Week 18, head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Wednesday, Jan. 1.
Huddle Up: With Trey Benson and Emari Demercado both on injured reserve, Michael Carter figures to take on the bulk of the work out of the backfield after handling 15 touches after Conner exited due to injury in Week 17. Carter is a volume-based flex option in Week 18.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner's (knee) availability for Week 18 is uncertain at this point because he aggravated his knee injury in Week 17, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to see what Conner is able to do at practice this week to have a better idea of his status for Week 18. He is a weekly starting option when healthy, but players will need a backup plan ready.

Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride caught his first touchdown of the season in a 13-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17, finishing with 12 catches on 16 targets for a team-high 123 yards.
Huddle Up: McBride was in the middle of a historical touchdown drought relative to his reception total, but he saved his first trip to the end zone for the fantasy playoffs.
Posted 12/29/2024 4:19 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. caught six of his 10 targets for 96 yards in a 13-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17.
Huddle Up: Harrison had been held below 50 receiving yards in each of three previous games, but the Cardinals threw the ball early and often against the Rams. It has been a bit of an underwhelming rookie year for Harrison, but his numbers should improve if the Cardinals throw the ball more in 2025.

Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter replaced RB James Conner (knee) during the Week 17 game against the Los Angeles Rams and finished with 13 carries for 70 yards and two catches for 11 yards in a 13-9 loss.
Huddle Up: Conner battled a knee injury leading up to the game and only managed to play a couple of series before heading to the sidelines. Carter was effective in his place, and if Conner is out for the finale, Carter could be a flex option.
Posted 12/29/2024 4:08 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray completed 33 of his 48 passes for a season-high 321 yards, a touchdown and two interceptions in a 13-9 loss to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17. He added 32 rushing yards on four attempts.
Huddle Up: Murray piled up yards, but the interceptions ultimately cost the Cardinals a chance at the win and preveneted him from having a big performance for fantasy owners.
Posted 12/28/2024 5:48 pm GMT
Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) is expected to be "full-go" for Week 17's game versus the Los Angeles Rams, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
Huddle Up: Conner had been listed as questionable on the injury report after being a limited practice participant throughout the week. He should be viewed as a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Posted 12/27/2024 1:30 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB Trey Benson's (ankle) status is up in the air for Week 17.
Huddle Up: It sounds like he'll be a game-time decision, but James Conner (knee) is supposed to go. So Benson's fantasy prowess would be limited anyway. If Benson is in and Conner is limited, Benson could be a flex candidate. Avoid otherwise.
Posted 12/27/2024 1:26 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) is expected to play against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17.
Huddle Up: That's good news because backup RB Trey Benson's (ankle) status is in question. The Rams present a midrange matchup for the RB2.
Posted 12/26/2024 8:03 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) is making progress in his recovery from his knee injury, but head coach Jonathan Gannon said he is not sure Conner will be available for the Week 17 game.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation over the next few days to see if Conner will be available. He has been one of the better running backs in the NFL this season and should be a starting option in all leagues if he plays.
Posted 12/25/2024 12:15 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Tuesday, Dec. 24. The injury report was an estimation, as the Cardinals only held a walkthrough.
Huddle Up: Conner exited the Week 16 game early due to a knee injury, but the fact that he was an estimated limited participant is a good sign he has a chance to play. Conner is a borderline RB1 play if he suits up.

Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride ended up with just three receptions for 20 yards on four targets in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers.
Huddle Up: McBride's performance was extremely disappointing considering the fact the Panthers allow the second-most fantasy points to opposing tight ends. The search continues for McBride's first receiving touchdown of 2024. The Cardinals travel to meet the Los Angeles Rams next Saturday in Week 17.
Posted 12/22/2024 11:25 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter registered five carries for 18 yards in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers, while adding five receptions for 30 yards on five targets.
Huddle Up: Carter saw an unexpected decent workload with James Conner leaving the game early. If Conner is unable to go in Week 17 against the Los Angeles Rams, Carter could be a sneaky RB3 or flex fantasy option, as well as a solid DFS play.
Posted 12/22/2024 11:20 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) was unable to return after leaving the Week 16 game against the Carolina Panthers due to a knee injury. He still ended up with 15 rushes for 117 yards and a touchdown, while adding four receptions for a game-high 49 receiving yards on four targets.
Huddle Up: It's too early too tell if Conner will be back in Week 17 or not, but he has one less day to recover with the Cardinals traveling to play the Los Angeles on Saturday night. Michael Carter and DeeJay Dallas could have larger roles if Conner is unavailable.
Posted 12/22/2024 11:13 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray completed 20-of-32 passes for 202 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers, while adding eight runs for 63 yards and a score.
Huddle Up: Murray has accounted for two or fewer total touchdowns in five straight outings, and he hasn't gone over 300 yards since late October. Murray should continue to be treated as a QB2 in most fantasy leagues heading into Week 17.
Posted 12/22/2024 8:16 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (knee) suffered a knee injury during the Week 16 game and is considered questionable to return.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players should keep an eye on the situation to see if Conner will be able to return to the game. Michael Carter likely will receive most of the work at running back while Conner is sidelined and could be a flex option in some leagues if he starts next week.
Posted 12/20/2024 6:51 pm GMT
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. has caught only four of the 26 passes thrown to him on go or fade routes in 2024.
Huddle Up: Harrison's rookie year will undoubtedly go down as a disappointing one, but one of the first places to direct the blame is offensive coordinator Drew Petzing. While Harrison can certainly win on downfield routes such as the go and the fade, it is clearly not working this year. Moreover, Harrison is a tall receiver and a smooth route-runner, which means he should be seeing a ton of his usage in the intermediate part of the field. Expect Petzing & Co. to do better with Harrison in Year 2.

Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner faces the Carolina Panthers in Week 16, and the Panthers have allowed 410 more rushing yards than any other team and the second-most rushing touchdowns.
Huddle Up: Conner is a workhorse for the Arizona offense, and he has logged at least 20 touches in three straight games. His volume gives him a high floor on weekly basis, and he is a must-start option against a porous Carolina defense.
Posted 12/20/2024 2:49 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride's 89 receptions are the most in a season for a player without a receiving touchdown.
Huddle Up: Despite the lack of touchdowns, McBride has been a reception machine, especially in recent weeks. He has logged at least seven catches, 10 targets and 70 receiving yards in four straight, and he has a chance to be the top fantasy scorer at the position when Arizona faces the Carolina Panthers in Week 16.
Posted 12/16/2024 4:13 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. ended up with two receptions for 32 yards on six targets in Week 15 against the New England Patriots.
Huddle Up: Harrison has managed 60 or fewer receiving yards in each of the past six games, and he hasn't scored in the past two outings. He might be hitting a rookie wall. Treat him as more of a low-end WR3 or flex fantasy option in leagues of 12 or more teams heading into Week 16 at Carolina.
Posted 12/16/2024 4:00 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner ran 16 times for 110 yards with two touchdowns in Week 15 against the New England Patriots, while absorbing all five of his targets for 28 yards.
Huddle Up: Conner posted his first 100-yard game since Week 9 against the Chicago Bears, and it was his first time with two or more rushing scores in a game since Dec. 3, 2023 in Pittsburgh against his former team. He'll look to keep it cooking in Week 16 at Carolina in a very favorable fantasy matchup.
Posted 12/16/2024 3:54 am GMT
Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (lower body) completed 23-of-30 passes for 224 yards, no touchdowns and no interceptions in Week 15 against the New England Patriots, and he ran five times for 11 yards. Murray left the game briefly due to an apparent lower-body injury, as QB Clayton Tune completed 2-of-2 for eight yards with one run.
Huddle Up: Murray didn't do much against a surprisingly stout New England Patriots defense. He'll look to rebound in Week 16 on the road against the Carolina Panthers. Murray should be able to put up good numbers against a shaky Panthers defense, but he should still be treated as more of a QB2 in most fantasy formats at this critical juncture of the season.
