Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) is dealing with a mid-foot sprain which would be in the area of a Lisfranc injury, although there are no broken bones and no dislocation. However, there is still some swelling as a result of too much fluid trapped in body tissues. Since Murray's injury has not fully healed and there is still a risk of re-injury, the Cardinals decided to place him on the Reserve/Injured list earlier this week, meaning he will miss at least four more games.
Huddle Up: Veteran QB Jacoby Brissett will serve as Arizona's No. 1 quarterback for as long as Murray is sidelined and can be viewed as a starting option in two-quarterback fantasy leagues. If he continues to play well in Murray's absence, Brissett could hold on to the starting job even after Murray is cleared to return. Murray is eligible to be activated from injured reserve in time for Week 14's game against the Los Angeles Rams Dec. 7, but it wouldn't be surprising if the Cardinals decide to move on from him after the season, by either trading or releasing him.

Arizona Cardinals WR Zay Jones (knee) fully participated in practice Friday, Nov. 7, and is not on the injury report for Week 10.
Huddle Up: Jones was not a factor in the passing game last week but will likely see a few this week against the Seattle Seahawks. He has posted at least 67 yards in two of his last three games but can still probably be avoided in most leagues.

Arizona Cardinals WR Zay Jones (knee) was limited during practice Thursday, Nov. 6.
Huddle Up: Jones seems to have a decent chance to be available to play against the Seattle Seahawks, but fantasy players will know more over the next few days. He was not targeted last week but should see a few targets this week. He can be avoided in most leagues.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) will be placed on the Reserve/Injured list because the team wants him to be healthy, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Huddle Up: Murray will miss at least the next four games and may not play in a game this season. Jacoby Brissett will continue to be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals after playing well in the last three games. He can be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues but should not be a starter in standard leagues.

Arizona Cardinals RB Michael Carter did not play any snaps on offense or special teams in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, Nov. 3. He has been moved back to the practice squad.
Huddle Up: Carter was reportedly taking first-team snaps in practice Thursday and Friday, but apparently that was gamesmanship by head coach Jonathan Gannon, as Carter didn't sniff the field, with Emari Demercado and Bam Knight handling the backfield duties. With Trey Benson nearing a return, if you rolled the dice on Carter for a fantasy roster space, cut bait immediately.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray has lost his starting position. Jacoby Brissett was named the new starting quarterback by head coach Jonathan Gannon on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
Huddle Up: Murray missed the last three games with a foot injury, which is still an issue according to Gannon, but the change probably has more to do with Brisset's performance. The journeyman has completed 65.8 percent of his passes for 860 yards with six touchdowns against one interception in three starts. His 261 yards passing against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9 was his lowest of the three games, but still more than Murray's highest output of the season. In five games, Murray was completing 68.3 percent of his passes for 962 yards with six touchdowns and three interceptions, and added one touchdown on the ground.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) is still the starter when healthy, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Huddle Up: Jacoby Brissett has thrown for 260+ yards in three straight games and moved the offense in an upset of the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. Murray doesn't have that aerial acument, but his legs make him a matchup play as a high-end QB2 candidate.

Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride caught five of nine targeted passes for 55 yards and a touchdown in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys.
Huddle Up: Across his first three seasons, McBride caught six TD passes. It was the asterisk to an otherwise top-tier fantasy tight end. In the last three games, he's caught four TD passes. It's yet another piece of evidence that Arizona's offense functions better when Jacoby Brissett is at the helm rather than Kyler Murray (foot). We don't know who will start at QB in Week 10, but McBride should be locked into your lineup either way (even though his ceiling feels higher if it's Brissett).

Arizona Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. had a career-high seven receptions, 96 yards, and a touchdown during the club's Week 9 victory over the Dallas Cowboys. He was targeted 10 times.
Huddle Up: Early on, the Cardinals were focused on getting Harrison the ball. That didn't really continue after halftime -- six of his seven grabs came in the first two quarters -- but Monday night was still as good as the Ohio State product has looked this season. Of course, there are two caveats: 1) the Cowboys might have the NFL's worst pass defense outside of Cincinnati, and 2) Jacoby Brissett was the QB, not Kyler Murray. We don't know what the future holds at QB1 in Arizona, but it sure feels like it would be to Harrison's benefit if Brissett remained. With the uncertainty, Harrison remains more of a solid WR3, albeit one that could push into WR2 territory in the weeks ahead.

Arizona Cardinals RB Bam Knight carried the ball nine times for 27 yards versus the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. Knight also caught two passes for 20 yards.
Huddle Up: While Knight got the start Monday night, it was Emari Demercado that got the most touches, outpacing Knight, 15-11. Will that continue in Week 10? It's unclear, and it may be one of those "feel" situations where the Cardinals go with whoever is more effective in a given game. Trey Benson (knee) is eligible to return from IR as well, further complicating the situation moving forward. For now, if you picked up Knight, he's worth holding onto until things clarify.

Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado carried the ball 14 times for 79 yards in a Week 9 win over the Dallas Cowboys. He also had one reception for minus-one yard.
Huddle Up: Demercado missed Week 7 with an ankle injury, but he was back in action Monday night and wound up getting 15 touches to 11 for Bam Knight. You don't want to read too much into one game's usage, but at the very least, it appears we can close the book on Michael Carter for fantasy purposes. Between the presence of Knight and eventual return of Trey Benson (knee), who is currently on IR, Demercado's long-term outlook is murky. Still, those in deeper leagues should look to make a move, and even owners in standard formats can consider adding Demercado if they're in need of depth at the position.

Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed 21 of his 31 passes for 261 yards, two touchdowns, and no interceptions versus the Dallas Cowboys in Week 9. Brissett also ran five times for four yards and a touchdown in the win.
Huddle Up: Let the quarterback controversy begin! In his three starts, Brissett has averaged 287 yards and 2 TDs passing per game while leading Arizona to an average of 25.7 points. In comparison, Kyler Murray (foot) averaged 192 yards and 1.5 TDs through the air while adding 35 yards on the ground; in his five starts, the Cardinals averaged 20.6 points. After the game, Joe Buck and Troy Aikman opined that there was no way the Cardinals would bench Brissett. Head coach Jonathan Gannon previously indicated that Murray would be the starter when healthy. It's a situation worth monitoring as Arizona's offense has looked crisper with the journeyman under center, so much so that Brissett might offer low-end QB2 value if he were to remain in the starting role. Stay tuned.

Arizona Cardinals practice squad Michael Carter was elevated to the active roster Monday, Nov. 3, and will be available for the Week 9 game.
Huddle Up: Carter will likely see some work behind Bam Knight but can be avoided in most fantasy leagues.

Arizona Cardinals RB Bam Knight will be the "first one out there" at running back in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday, Oct. 3, head coach Jonathan Gannon said Saturday. However, it appears it will be a hot-hand approach, with RB Michael Carter expected to be promoted from the practice squad, and RB Emari Demercado returning from injury.
Huddle Up: There were reports Carter was taking the first-team reps in practice Thursday and Friday, so there could be a little gamesmanship going on. It might be best to treat Knight and Carter as low-end RB3 or flex fantasy options, while ignoring Demercado for now. Also, don't sink a lot of FAAB money into Carter or Knight, as Trey Benson is eligible to return from the Reserve/Injured list, so this whole situation is likely to change again in the next week or two.

Arizona Cardinals WR Zay Jones (knee) fully participated in practice Saturday, Nov. 1, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.
Huddle Up: Jones has posted solid numbers in his last two games and should see a handful of targets in the Week 9 game. Fantasy players likely have better options available and can avoid Jones.

Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) fully participated in practice Saturday, Nov. 1, and is not on the injury report for Week 9.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) was limited during practice Saturday, Nov. 1, and is listed as questionable for Week 9.
Huddle Up: The Cardinals have announced that Jacoby Brissett will be the starter, so fantasy players will need to see if Murray will rejoin the starting lineup next week. Brissett had been productive in the last two games and can be a possible option in two-quarterback leagues.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) will not start in Week 9 but could have a role in the game if active, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Huddle Up: Murray seems to be making progress but is not ready to play in a full game at this point. Fantasy players should avoid him until he returns to the starting lineup. Jacoby Brissett will start in Week9 and can be a starting option in two-quarterback leagues.

Arizona Cardinals WR Zay Jones (knee) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 31.

Arizona Cardinals RB Emari Demercado (ankle) was limited during practice Friday, Oct. 31.
Huddle Up: Demercado has been sidelined for a few weeks because of the injury and likely will see limited work behind Bam Knight if he is able to play in Week 9. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues unless Knight suffers an injury at some point.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) was a limited participant in practice Thursday, Oct. 30.
Huddle Up: Despite being limited, the Cardinals are preparing for Murray to return to the lineup in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys. Assuming he does return, he will face arguably the friendliest matchup possible for a quarterback. Murray could immediately post QB1 numbers against a porous Dallas secondary.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) is preparing to start for the team, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon.
Huddle Up: Murray has missed the last two games, and the offense has struggled in his absence. Look for him to bring a spark to the entire Arizona offense, but also to your fantasy lineup, if he plays.

Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (foot) was able to take part in an on-field bonus workout Tuesday, Oct. 28, and he was spotted throwing passes to the team's main receiving options.
Huddle Up: While backup Jacoby Brissett is expected to still take snaps in practice, it appears Murray is trending in the right direction to be able to play in Week 9 against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday Night Football. It's a very favorable matchup for Murray, too, as the Cowboys are horrific defending the pass, so he could have some low-end QB1 fantasy value under the lights on MNF.

Free agent RB Michael Carter was signed to the practice squad on Tuesday, Oct. 28, one day after being released.
Huddle Up: When James Conner went down with an injury, Carter got a chance to replace him, but he has fallen behind Bam Knight, Emari Demercado and Trey Benson in the pecking order. Carter leads the team with 35 carries but for 97 yards and one touchdown.
