Huddle Up: Benson has battled injuries throughout his first two NFL seasons, and the fact that he is still dealing with knee issues is a major concern. Throw in the additions of Tyler Allgeier and Jeremiyah Love to the backfield, and Benson may be an afterthought in the offense.
Huddle Up: Brissett will be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals this season, so the team will probably hold him out of the final two preseason games. He posted solid numbers last season but should be considered a No. 2 quarterback in fantasy leagues.
Huddle Up: The injury isn't expected to be a long-term issue, according to head coach Mike LaFleur, but it looks like he'll need another day or two before he returns to the field.
Huddle Up: Love is expected to miss the rest of the preseason, but he remains good for the regular season at this point. He can be an RB1 if he is healthy enough for the whole season.
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain, according to sources, and will likely miss the remainder of the preseason. The team is hopeful Love will be ready for the season opener.
Huddle Up: It sounds like the ankle injury is a little more serious than initially expected, and the Cardinals will almost certainly play it safe with their first-round pick and keep him sidelined until he is fully healthy. It wouldn't be a surprise to see Love miss a regular season game or two, which would open the door for Tyler Allgeier and James Conner.
Arizona Cardinals RB James Conner (foot) is still making progress in his recovery from a foot injury, but head coach Mike LaFluer said there is no timetable for when Conner will participate in team drills.
Huddle Up: Conner is part of a crowded backfield, so it is not known how he will be used in the offense when healthy. He seems to be behind Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier on the depth chart and can probably be avoided in most leagues at this point.
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) will be sidelined this week because of the ankle injury he suffered during the preseason game Thursday, Aug. 13, and will be reevaluated after the week is over, according to head coach Mike LaFleur.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation to see if Love is in any danger of missing the regular season opener. He will be a weekly starting option if healthy, but Tyler Allgeier and James Conner will have more fantasy value if Love misses time.
Arizona Cardinals RB Jeremiyah Love (ankle) suffered an ankle injury during the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13, but head coach Mike LaFleur said he doesn't believe the injury is serious.
Huddle Up: Love was impressive in his preseason debut, piling up 72 total yards on 14 touches. Even with Tyler Allgeier lurking, Love could still be in the RB1 mix this season.
Huddle Up: Allgeier was in the mix early in the preseason contest, and even if Jeremiyah Love ultimately becomes the lead back, it continues to seem like Allgeier will have a role in the offense. Allgeier could be a legitimate flex candidate, and at worst, he should be a priority handcuff for Love.
Huddle Up: Wilson emerged as a Arizona's top target last season while Marvin Harrison Jr. was sidelined, topping 1,000 yards. Whether or not Wilson can produce the same numbers with Harrison healthy remains to be seen, but he has likely earned a bigger role and should at least by a flex candidate.
Huddle Up: Harrison hasn't been able to live up to the hype during his first two seasons, and injuries didn't help his cause last year. Whether or not Harrison can realize his potential remains to be seen, but he isn't a bad gamble as a WR3.
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett completed all five of his pass attempts for 44 yards and a touchdown in the preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders Thursday, Aug. 13.
Huddle Up: Brissett is set to open the year as the starter, and he showed last season that he is capable of putting up decent numbers when given the opportunity. Don't be surprised if Brissett finishes as a serviceable QB2 with an occasional QB1 performance.
Huddle Up: Brissett had his contract situation resolved early in training camp, so he is on track to be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals in 2026. He can be a No. 2 fantasy quarterback in some deeper leagues but will not be a starting option most weeks.
Huddle Up: The Cardinals have an extra preseason game, so Love should see some snaps in the remaining preseason games. He may not start right away but should have a solid role in the offensive when the regular season starts. He will likely be a starting option in all fantasy leagues.
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Wilson (undisclosed) did not practice on Monday and could be seen in sweats cheering on teammates during position drills, according to Zach Gershman of AZCardinals.com on Monday, Aug. 3.
Huddle Up: Wilson leveled up considerably in his third NFL season, almost doubling his previous two seasons' worth of targets (129) with a 126-target, 78-catch, 1,006-yard campaign. The big fantasy draft decision for managers is the Cardinals' Wilson and Marvin Harrison Jr., as both should have a prominent role in the Cardinals' passing game next to tight end superstar Trey McBride. Consider Wilson a low-end WR3 for fantasy football with plenty of upside to more than pay off his middle-round ADP in 2026.
Huddle Up: Allgeier is likely listed as the starter since he is the veteran, but Jeremiyah Love is expected to be the starter when the regular season starts. Love will be a weekly starting fantasy option in leagues, but Allgeier could be a No. 4 or No. 5 back on fantasy teams.
Arizona Cardinals RB Tyler Allgeier has been "has been getting the majority of the carries" with the starters through the first eight days of training camp, according to Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com.
Huddle Up: After Arizona selected Jeremiyah Love third overall, it would be a surprise to see Allgeier receive a bigger workload than the rookie when the season begins. That being said, it seems like Allgeier is going to be a big part of the running back rotation, and at worst, he needs to be considered the primary handcuff for Love.
Huddle Up: Love is expected to be the starting running back for the Cardinals this season, but Allgeier has a chance to have a solid role in the offense. Love will likely be a weekly starting option in fantasy leagues, while Allgeier can be at least a No. 4 fantasy back.
Huddle Up: Although it doesn't sound like either injury is serious, it is worth keeping an eye on Harrison's status in the coming days. If Harrison were to miss time at any point this season, Michael Wilson showed last year that he can more than fill the void.
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett's deal is worth $15.5 million for one season, with upside to $21 million, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com on Sunday, July 26.
Huddle Up: Brissett, who will turn 34 in December, may have gone 1-11 as the Cardinals' starting quarterback in 2025, but he was very solid for fantasy football. With 3,366 passing yards and 23 touchdowns in 14 games, Brissett will get the chance to build off that in 2026 with the starting gig in Week 1. For fantasy, Brissett is a streaming fantasy QB with upside, but Arizona does figure to be among the worst teams in football, so touchdown scoring could be more scarce than last season.
Arizona Cardinals TE Trey McBride said there are "a lot" of things he is working to improve. "I just want to keep getting better every day," McBride said. "And that's kind of my goal. And I'm going to keep trying to do that every year. And hopefully each year will exceed the previous."
Huddle Up: McBride has emerged as one of the premier tight ends in the NFL, but it doesn't sound like he is resting on his previous accomplishments. Even if McBride can't match his incredible stat line from last season, he should still be one of the best fantasy options at the tight end position in 2026.
Arizona Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett did not take any snaps during the 11-on-11 portion of training camp practice Friday, July 24. However, he did some individual work and threw passes to WR Marvin Harrison Jr. after practice.
Huddle Up: Brissett's representatives are involved in negotiations with the Cardinals on a new contract that is expected to contain more guaranteed money than his current deal. The 33-year-old veteran will serve as Arizona's starting quarterback but should only be viewed as a QB2 option in fantasy leagues.
Huddle Up: He just turned 24 and could still provide value for the roster. He's just stuck behind Jeremiyah Love, Tyler Allgeier and possibly James Conner. He has little fantasy luster for now unless roster moves or injuries occur.
Huddle Up: Now 31, he's behind Jeremiyah Love and Tyler Allgeier. It's hard to see him making the team and/or contributing at a fantasy-relevant level.
Huddle Up: Brissett is looking for a new contract but reported for camp since he will likely be the starting quarterback for the Cardinals in 2026. Fantasy players can keep an eye on his situation but should consider him a No. 2 fantasy quarterback.
