Arizona

Cardinals

Dortch remains a quiet option in the Cardinals’ passing game, catching one of this two targets on the day. He gets some gadget usage out of the slot, but is at best the No. 5 option in what has been a disappointing passing game. Dortch should remain off fantasy radars moving forward.

Wilson quietly operates as the Cardinals’ No. 4 pass-catching option, getting four targets on the day. He made a big 30-yard reception in the fourth quarter to put the Cardinals into the red zone to highlight his day. Wilson also had a second quarter touchdown called back due to a holding penalty. Wilson is a downfield perimeter option and is no more than a touchdown-dependent WR5 for Week 13 against the Vikings.

Harrison was second on the Cardinals in targets, with six on the day. He is the top wideout on the team, though that did not convert to much on a day where the Cardinals only totaled a pair of field goals. Harrison nearly made a highlight-reel toe-tap touchdown catch in the first half, but failed to get both feet down. Outside of that, Kyler Murray found him for first down conversions on occasion and not much else. Harrison is a touchdown-dependent fantasy receiver, putting him in the WR3/4 mix for Week 13.

McBride set a career high and Cardinals tight end record with 12 catches against the Seahawks. He saw 15 targets, good for a 40.5 percent target share on the day, consistently getting open in the flat and while peeling off blocks. The Cardinals offense failed to push the ball down field, meaning McBride was the favored target over the middle of the field, though once again not scoring a touchdown. With nine targets more than Kyler Murray’s next most-targeted receiver, McBride is the Cardinals’ top pass-catcher. He is a TE1 for Week 13 against the Vikings.

Benson continued to split backup duties with Emari Demercado, getting four carries on the day. He was more efficient than starter James Conner, averaging 4.5 yards per tote. However, he was seldom involved in the passing game, with Conner taking checkdowns and Demercado rotating in on passing situations as well. Benson is still just a handcuff moving forward.

Conner averaged an inefficient 1.1 yards per carry against the Seahawks, with most of his fantasy production coming off his usage in the receiving game. He peeled off pass protection to catch a checkdown from Kyler Murray more than once, inflating his fantasy output to the tune of five catches for 41 yards. He did not get many red zone chances in a subpar day for the Cardinals offense. Volume puts Conner in the RB2 mix for Week 13 against the Vikings.

Murray and the Cardinals offense struggled in an NFC West matchup against the rival Seahawks. Only scoring one field goal per half, the Cardinals failed to push the ball down field and finished the only two scoring drives they had without touchdowns. Trey McBride was responsible for 15 of Murray’s 37 pass attempts, with Murray settling for checkdowns and throws to the flat often. He nearly had a fumble and interception in the first quarter, but both were ruled incomplete. On a 4th-and-1 play in the third quarter, Murray rolled out to his right and threw a pass directly to Seahawks DB Coby Bryant, who returned it for a back-breaking pick-6. Murray took five sacks as he and the Cardinals offense turned in a lackluster Week 12 amidst a rollercoaster of an offensive season. He is a high-end QB2 against the Vikings for Week 13.

Robinson, the Cards’ first-rounder, continues to be out due to a calf injury. Jalen Thompson is out due to an ankle injury while the other inactives are healthy scratches for Arizona.

Williams went down with what appeared to be a season-ending knee injury after just 22 snaps in Week 1. The injury news wasn’t as bad as Arizona initially feared and the team took him off injured reserve ahead of Week 9. He still hasn’t made his return to the lineup, but all signs point to that happening today. Kelvin Beachum has held down the right tackle spot admirably and could still be used to limit Williams’ reps in his first game back.

The deal runs through the end of the 2024 NFL season and contains $2 million in guaranteed money. This is a great move for the 9-1 Chiefs, who are almost assuredly headed to the playoffs once again. Humphries played well as a pass blocker last season before tearing his ACL in Week 17.
