Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride (knee) remained limited during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status on Friday because if he cannot log a full session, he may carry an injury designation into the weekend. Over the past three weeks, McBride has seen a heavy volume of targets his way, eclipsing double-digits in each of these games and averaging 13.7 per game. During this span, he has averaged an impressive 99.7 yards and 10.3 receptions per game. Before this dominating stretch of weeks, McBride was still very productive, averaging 61.3 yards and 5.4 receptions per game. If McBride can suit up on Sunday, he should be viewed as a high-end TE1 facing the New England Patriots, who have allowed the 16th-most PPR points to opposing tight ends.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon still is holding out hope that kicker
Matt Prater (knee) can return from Injured Reserve this season. Prater has been on IR since undergoing surgery to fix the meniscus in his left knee back in October, missing the team's last nine games. The 40-year-old veteran placekicker hasn't had his 21-day practice window opened yet, though, to return from IR, but there are still four games remaining in the regular season. He's unlikely to be available this weekend when the team takes on the New England Patriots, but Prater's return could come in Week 16 against the Carolina Panthers. Until/if Prater is able to return down the stretch,
Chad Ryland will continue to kick for the Cardinals. Before his knee injury, Prater hit all six of his field-goal tries and all 10 of his extra points in four games.

The Arizona Cardinals defense had a rough outing against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 14. The Cardinals were stuck with short fields due to interceptions and an injury to punter Blake Gillikin and could not generate any pressure on Seahawks quarterback
Geno Smith. Despite racking up 19 sacks in the four weeks leading up to this matchup, the Cardinals did not record a single sack throughout the game. The Cardinals also struggled to stop the run, allowing Seahawks running back
Zach Charbonnet to record a season-high 134 yards on the ground. The Cardinals' defense should still have potential, as they have two upcoming matchups against the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers.

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. received eight targets in a Week 14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Harrison Jr. again finished near the top for targets behind tight end
Trey McBride. However, he only converted those targets into four catches for 49 yards. It's been a tough season for Harrison Jr., as he and quarterback
Kyler Murray are still working out their chemistry. The Cardinals' passing attack as a whole has lacked downfield shots, which has limited the effectiveness of the Cardinals' wide receivers. Harrison Jr. remains a solid fantasy option, as he is tied for sixth in the NFL in touchdown receptions and is a touchdown-dependent WR2 or WR3 moving forward.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson caught a 41-yard touchdown pass to give the Cardinals the lead on their opening drive. Wilson finished the day with two catches for 57 yards, having commanded only three targets. While he has become a potential streaming flex option, he is still yet to receive a consistent workload to make him truly fantasy-relevant. The Cardinals have two upcoming matchups against the New England Patriots and Carolina Panthers, both of which have struggling defenses, making Wilson a potential option in the coming weeks.

Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride finished the day with seven catches for 70 yards in the Week 14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. There is no doubt that McBride is the focal point of the Cardinals' passing attack. McBride logged 14 targets, leading the team in that category for the game. He has yet to find the end zone through the air this season, but he continues to dominate targets for the Cardinals and remains one of the top tight ends in fantasy football. The Cardinals passing attack should have an advantageous matchup with the New England Patriots next week.

Arizona Cardinals running back
James Conner had an efficient performance in the Week 14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Conner's official stat line was 18 carries for 90 yards and four receptions for 32 yards and a touchdown. The Cardinals were able to create more rushing lanes compared to their first matchup against the Seahawks, although the rushing attack still wasn't at its best. Conner's activity in the passing game was evident once again as he caught all of his targets. Conner's heavy workload continued with yet another 20+ touch game. He should deliver another strong performance next week when the Cardinals host the New England Patriots in what should be a "get right" game for the Cardinals' offense.

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back
Trey Benson did not contribute much in the Week 14 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Although it seemed like Benson was due for more involvement in the Cardinals' offense, that simply has not been the case. Benson totaled two carries for 15 yards and added one reception for four yards. Until Benson puts together multiple games of fantasy-relevant production, he remains a handcuff for lead back
James Conner and not much else.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray delivered an average fantasy performance in the Week 14 loss to the Seahawks. Murray's official stat line was 25 completions on 38 attempts for 259 yards, two passing touchdowns, and two interceptions, while also adding 16 rushing yards. Murray's interception struggles since the bye week continued in this game, as he threw interceptions on back-to-back passes in the first quarter, making it challenging for the Cardinals to stay competitive. Despite keeping the ball clean through the first 10 weeks of the season, Murray has thrown at least one interception in each of his last three games, more than doubling his season total. However, Murray was still able to bounce back from the two interceptions, and the Cardinals' offense looked better in the second half. It was just a little too late for the Cardinals in this matchup. The Cardinals will host the New England Patriots in a Week 15 game, giving Murray great bounce-back potential.

The Arizona Cardinals defense is a low-end starting option in fantasy as they host the Seattle Seahawks. Despite the loss the last time these teams played, the Cardinals defense performed well in that matchup. They recorded five sacks, forced an interception, and allowed just 10 points. This game will now be played in Arizona, with the home crowd supporting the defense. The Cardinals defense has started to come alive and should be trusted by managers in this divisional matchup.

Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride should be viewed as a high-end TE1 in Week 14 when the Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks. McBride is on a hot streak right now, posting back-to-back weeks with 12 receptions. He is the focal point of the Cardinals' passing game and has produced regardless of matchup. The only downside to McBride's season has been a lack of touchdown production. However, his target share and usage are high enough to still make him a top-three tight end in fantasy. McBride is a no-doubt starting tight end in fantasy and should be viewed that way for the rest of the season.

December 6, 2024
Arizona Cardinals second-year wide receiver
Michael Wilson should be viewed as a risky streaming option in Week 14 in the Cardinals' home matchup versus the Seattle Seahawks. Wilson has quietly become a rosterable player in fantasy football, but he is still lacking some consistency. Wilson is solidified as the Cardinals' second wide receiver but falls behind
Marvin Harrison Jr. and
Trey McBride in the target hierarchy. Wilson made a couple of big plays in the Cardinals' last matchup against the Seahawks and has been thriving off a lack of attention from opposing defenses. Until Wilson establishes better consistency, he remains a streaming flex option and should be viewed as a risky choice in Week 14.

Arizona Cardinals rookie wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. should get WR2 consideration in Week 14 when the Cardinals host the Seattle Seahawks. Harrison Jr. had a solid game last week, scoring the Cardinals' lone touchdown. He also saw his largest target share of the season, receiving 12 targets. With the Cardinals in pursuit of winning the NFC West division, it is expected that they will empty the playbook and come out swinging in this matchup. Taking more shots down the field has been something the Cardinals have needed to incorporate into this offense, and Harrison Jr. is the best option to receive those downfield shots. With Harrison Jr.'s usage increasing, managers should feel much more comfortable with him in the lineup.

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back
Trey Benson should not be considered for starting lineups in fantasy in Week 14. The Cardinals will have a home divisional matchup with the Seattle Seahawks in what will be a pivotal game for the NFC West. Benson saw an uptick in usage before the Week 11 bye, but post-bye week, that trend has not continued. Benson has had just seven total carries over the last two weeks. With Benson's usage not at a reliable level, he remains a handcuff for
James Conner but is not a fantasy starter.
