Courtesy of PFF's Dwain McFarland and his excellent Utilization Report, there's a WR2 emerging in Arizona, but it's not the player you may imagine.
Everyone was scampering to the Waiver Wire in Week 3 for Rondale Moore, but, as the above table suggests, Christian Kirk is the receiver to roster in Arizona. There will be ups and downs throughout the campaign with a crowded receiving corps, but the arrow is pointing up for Kirk in his fourth season. Arizona is tied with Tampa Bay for the league lead scoring 34.3 points per game in 2021, so there is plenty of cake to go around for the Cardinals. This week, they are going against the Rams, and it's resulted in the highest over/under of the week at 54.5 points. Real and fantasy points will be bountiful in this NFC West clash, and it's easy to picture a scenario where Kirk catches a deep ball from Kyler Murray and takes it to the house.
