That would leave quarterback Tyler Huntley in line to […]

Chad Ryland Outside Starting Range In Week 17
For at least another week, Chad Ryland will maintain the starting kicker role with the Arizona Cardinals, but managers should still look for another option with the Cards playing the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17.

Cardinals D/ST Not A Playable Option In Week 17
The Arizona Cardinals defense/special teams should be left on waivers ahead of a Week 17 meeting against the Los Angeles Rams.
