Arizona Cardinals kicker
Chad Ryland can be left on waivers in most fantasy leagues for Week 13. While Ryland flashed real promise early in his stint with the Cardinals, his productivity has declined recently, and he missed his second field goal of the season last week. The 25-year-old now ranks as the overall K15 in scoring since taking over kicking duties in Arizona ahead of Week 5. To make matters worse, Ryland faces the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. Minnesota has allowed the absolute fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2024, holding the position to an average of just one field goal and 1.8 extra points per game. Managers should look elsewhere for production at the kicker position.

Arizona Cardinals rookie running back
Trey Benson hasn't been a starting fantasy option all year long while working behind starter
James Conner, and that won't change in a tough Week 13 matchup on the road against the Minnesota Vikings this Sunday. The Vikings defense has been stingy against the run, allowing just 14.8 half-PPR points to the position per game, which is the third-fewest in the league. Meanwhile, the 21-year-old third-rounder out of Florida State has seen double-digit carries just twice in his first 10 NFL games. Arizona wasn't able to get anything going on the ground last week in the loss to Seattle, either, with Benson's 18 rushing yards on four carries leading the team. Benson's long-term fantasy value took a hit with the Conner extension announced on Saturday, and he won't be a realistic fantasy starter with minimal volume in a bad matchup this weekend.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson should be considered a boom-or-bust WR4/flex in fantasy leagues heading into a Week 13 tilt on Sunday on the road against the Minnesota Vikings. Most fantasy managers won't be giving Wilson the time of day after a two-catch, 54-yard performance in the Week 12 loss to the division-rival Seattle Seahawks. The 24-year-old also has only two scores on the season and has gone over five receptions just once in 11 games. Wilson has exceeded 50 receiving yards in a game only three times. He's tied for 78th among all receivers with 6.4 half-PPR points per game. Facing the Vikings on the road is no picnic, but Minnesota's defense has allowed the second-most half-PPR points per game to the position, including 13 TDs allowed, so if Wilson is going to have a big game out of nowhere, this could be the week.

Arizona Cardinals rookie first-round wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. hasn't lived up to the high fantasy expectations he had coming into his first NFL season, but he'll have a chance to make his fantasy managers happy this Sunday in a matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings defense has allowed the second-most half-PPR points to opposing pass-catchers this year, including 13 touchdowns, which is tied for fifth-most in the league. The 22-year-old former Ohio State star has found the end zone six times in his first 11 NFL contests, but he's averaging just 9.9 half-PPR points per game in 2024, which makes him the WR41. Fantasy managers were expecting a lot more than that when they drafted him with WR1 upside this fall. Since a 100-yard outing in Week 8, Harrison has 10 catches, 135 yards and one TD. He'll be a WR3/flex with upside this weekend in Minnesota.

The Arizona Cardinals signed running back
James Conner a two-year, $19 million contract extension on Saturday, according to a source. Conner was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent after the 2024 season, but the Cardinals will instead lock him in for another two years. Arizona drafted
Trey Benson back in April, but the 29-year-old Conner will move forward as the team's primary backfield piece going forward as long as he's healthy. The former third-rounder by the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2017 out of Pittsburgh is having another strong season and is on pace for back-to-back 1,000-yard rushing seasons for the first time in his career. Conner currently has 705 rushing yards and five TDs on 166 carries (4.2 yards per tote) in 11 games. Coming off a quiet performance in Week 12, Conner should be considered a low-end RB2 in fantasy in Week 13 against the Vikings.

Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride remains a must-start TE1 in fantasy football. The Cardinals will travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings in Week 13. Regardless of the matchup, McBride has earned the status of a player who should be started no matter what. While McBride has struggled with touchdown production this season, finding the end zone just twice, he still ranks as a top-three tight end overall. McBride should remain in lineups for Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray is a low-end QB1 in Week 13 as the Cardinals travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings. It was tough sledding for Murray and the Cardinals offense in Seattle a week ago. The Cardinals failed to produce a touchdown, and Murray threw a momentum-shifting pick-six that set the Cardinals' comeback hopes back by a large margin. However, the Cardinals offense should return to its usual form this week. The Vikings' stout defense presents a challenge for the Cardinals' passing attack, but this is a unit that has earned some trust. The matchup makes Murray a low-end QB1 start, but he should still be started in Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado (back) and defensive lineman Darius Robinson (calf) were both limited participants in a second consecutive practice on Thursday. Demercado has primarily been off the fantasy radar as Arizona's No. 3 running back this year, but he has shown bursts of production, totaling 211 rushing yards, 86 receiving yards, and one touchdown so far.
DeeJay Dallas would presumably take Demercado's spot on the depth chart if he can't play. Robinson, on the other hand, is a rookie who has spent the first 12 weeks on either injured reserve or the gameday inactives list. He's inching closer to making his NFL debut and, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon, has a strong chance to suit up Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Emari Demercado (back) was a limited participant during practice on Wednesday. The 25-year-old has mostly operated as the Cardinals' No. 3 running back this season, but he's still been efficient and productive, totaling 211 rushing yards, 86 receiving yards, and one touchdown through 11 games so far. He's not a dependable redraft option as long as both
James Conner and
Trey Benson are healthy.

Arizona Cardinals defensive lineman Darius Robinson (calf) is on track to make his NFL debut in Week 13 against the Minnesota Vikings, according to head coach Jonathan Gannon. Robinson has been sidelined since training camp. The rookie has not yet appeared in an NFL game, but it sounds like he's very close to being 100 percent. Robinson will provide a major boost to the Cardinals' defensive front, which has been particularly strong against the run so far in 2024.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. seemed to have increased activity, despite what the stat sheet said, in the 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Harrison Jr. caught three passes for 47 yards on six targets, the second most on the team. He has had a boom-or-bust season, making it challenging for fantasy managers to decide whether or not to play him. Harrison Jr. was also one toe away from scoring a go-ahead touchdown, but he couldn't get his foot inbounds inside the pylon. Although he had three catches, the Cardinals schemed up plays to get him the ball, but the execution just wasn't there on any front. They have a tough matchup against the Vikings in Week 13, and Harrison Jr. will once again be a boom-or-bust start.

Arizona Cardinals running back
James Conner was productive through the air but couldn't get anything going on the ground in the 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Conner was limited to just eight yards on seven carries, as the Cardinals were repeatedly beaten at the point of attack. However, Conner still found a way to contribute, hauling in all five of his targets for 41 yards. He was expected to play a larger role given the circumstances of a tough divisional game on the road, but the ineffectiveness of the Cardinals' run game forced them to shift to a pass-first attack as they fell behind on the scoreboard. Conner is due for a bounce-back performance when the Cardinals travel to Minnesota to take on the Vikings.

Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride had a monster day in the 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. McBride caught 12 passes for 133 yards and was perhaps the Cardinals' only bright spot on offense. He received a team-leading 15 targets, and the team's point of emphasis was to get him the ball as all other aspects of the game fell apart. McBride has been one of the most consistent performers in fantasy football this season, and with that target share, he will likely continue to put up huge numbers. McBride will remain in starting lineups heading into the Cardinals' Week 13 road matchup against the Minnesota Vikings.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray failed to find the end zone through the air or on the ground in a 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks. The Cardinals' offense lacked consistency all day and couldn't convert enough third downs to score any touchdowns. Although the offense moved the ball more effectively in the second half, Murray ended up with 285 yards passing, but a backbreaking interception returned for a touchdown limited the Cardinals' chances of taking the lead. The Cardinals will travel to Minnesota next week to face the stout Vikings defense, which could lower expectations for Murray, though he should still be started in most league formats.
