Arizona Cardinals

NFC West


With a projection of 2.8 touches per game (2.1 carries and 0.7 receptions), Michael Carter isn't someone you need to draft. He has some competition on Arizona's depth chart, where he trails both James Conner and Trey Benson.

Greg Dortch is the WR4 on the Cardinals. As the consensus #111 WR, he's not really fantasy-relevant. He is projected for 343 yards and 2.4 TDs on 31.7 receptions, which is 14.2% of the total for WRs on the Cardinals. The Cardinals have the 7th-best wide receiver schedule.

As a top-10 TE, Trey McBride is one of the few tight ends you can really feel good about drafting. With a projection of 848 yards and 4.2 TDs on 83.0 receptions, McBride is one of only 7 TEs expected to record 800 yards.

As the QB9, Kyler Murray is a reasonable choice for a late-round quarterback strategy. Murray is projected to earn 74.3 of his 289 fantasy points by rushing. That's a substantial portion of his fantasy value, and could give him a more stable floor than similarly-ranked QBs. Projected for 12.8 interceptions compared to 22.2 passing TDs, Murray is not the safest QB to run out each week.

James Conner is worth drafting at his ADP of 78 as the consensus #64 overall player.

Arizona has the 16th-best running back schedule.

As the consensus #121 overall player, Trey Benson is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 111.
