Arizona Cardinals running back
James Conner is a must-start and is valued as a low-end RB1 as the team travels to Green Bay to take on the Packers. Conner is coming off of an impressive outing where he totaled 100 yards from scrimmage to help the Cardinals win. Since joining the Cardinals, Conner has been a road warrior, averaging 87 yards from scrimmage in road games. The forecast is quickly changing, and it is currently calling for a windy, rainy outing for part of the game, which could cause the Cardinals to lean on their star running back while they adjust to the elements. The Packers' defense ranks middle of the road against opposing running backs, allowing the 17th most fantasy points to the position. With Conner's increased likelihood of another high-volume week, fantasy managers should confidently start him in Week 6.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray remains a must-start for fantasy managers after an important bounce-back performance against the 49ers. In Week 6, the Cardinals travel to Green Bay to take on the Packers. There is currently rain and wind in the forecast for the game, which could complicate moving the ball through the air. However, that's not always a concern for Murray; if the Cardinals shift to a run-first approach, it will open up their zone-read game, which was effective last week. Murray rushed for 83 yards and a touchdown in the win over the 49ers. While the weather may cause Murray to be more of a low-end QB1, his rushing upside continues to make him a fantasy starter.

The Arizona Cardinals released wide receiver
Chris Moore on Wednesday, according to NFL.com. This move comes after veteran wideout
Zay Jones was reinstated from his five-game suspension for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Moore entered the NFL in 2016 with the Baltimore Ravens and has played in games for the Ravens, Houston Texans, and Tennessee Titans. He did not earn a target or catch a pass for the Cardinals this season. Overall, the 31-year-old has caught 138 passes for 1,710 yards, and eight touchdowns in 106 career games. Another franchise might be interested in signing him, but it would be a surprise if he ends up on the fantasy football radar this season.

Arizona Cardinals kicker
Matt Prater (knee) was unable to suit up during Sunday's win over the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran kicker has been dealing with a left knee issue and was only able to get through one limited practice last week. That being said, the Cardinals held out Prater in Week 5 and elevated
Chad Ryland to serve as the kicker. Ryland connected on 3-of-4 field goal attempts with his only miss being blocked. Head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Monday that the team will wait and see how Prater does in practice before making a decision for Week 6. Fantasy managers who have Prater rostered should get another kicker in line just in case he misses another game.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Zay Jones was reinstated from his five-game suspension by NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Monday and he can officially rejoin the team. However, the Cardinals are expected to request that they be given a roster exemption for one or two weeks for Jones after he was suspended under the league's personal-conduct policy. So the 29-year-old is unlikely to play in the upcoming Week 6 contest against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field. Jones will eventually be competing for the WR3 role in Arizona with
Greg Dortch behind rookie
Marvin Harrison Jr. and
Michael Wilson. The former second-rounder of the Buffalo Bills in 2017 out of East Carolina belongs on the waiver wire in the vast majority of fantasy leagues. Jones played in nine games (seven starts) for the Jaguars in 2023 and had a 34-321-2 line for Jacksonville.

Arizona Cardinals kicker
Chad Ryland went 3-for-4 in field goal attempts and drilled his only extra-point try in Sunday's 24-23 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Ryland tallied 10 points and nailed the go-ahead 35-yard field goal in Sunday's victory. With starting kicker
Matt Prater (knee) ruled out, Ryland was promoted to take kicking duties in Week 5. Despite a blocked field goal that resulted in a touchdown, Ryland did enough to help secure the win. If Prater remains sidelined, Ryland will likely handle kicking duties in Week 6 against the Green Bay Packers. However, fantasy managers may have better kicker options to stream off the waiver wire.

The Arizona Cardinals' defense bounced back from a disappointing loss to the Washington Commanders with a strong performance in Sunday's 24-23 win over the San Francisco 49ers, shutting them out in the second half. Despite some struggles up front, the Cardinals recorded two sacks and disrupted two passes from 49ers quarterback
Brock Purdy, leading to two interceptions, including the game-winning pick. While this was a statement game for a defense that has surpassed expectations, better fantasy options are available as the Cardinals head to Green Bay to face the Packers in Week 6.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch caught only one pass for seven yards on a designed screen during Sunday's 24-23 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Dortch's role has diminished since his strong Week 1 performance, and he has not reached double-digit fantasy points since then. There were hopes he would step up as a more significant threat while tight end
Trey McBride returns to the field, but that hasn't materialized. Given Dortch's limited role in the offense, he should remain on the waiver wire ahead of next week's matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. had a challenging fantasy outing in the Week 5 24-23 victory over the San Francisco 49ers, recording just two catches for 36 yards. Despite only touching the ball twice, he was a key part of the offense, receiving the second-most targets on the team with seven. Harrison Jr. made a crucial play during the game, securing a significant fourth-down catch that kept the Cardinals' go-ahead drive alive. As he and quarterback
Kyler Murray continue to develop their chemistry—having played together in just their fifth game—it's clear they are still finding their rhythm. Looking ahead, Harrison Jr. faces a favorable matchup against the Green Bay Packers secondary next week, and despite the lackluster fantasy performance, he remains a must-start moving forward.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson played a crucial role in the passing game, recording five catches for 78 yards in Sunday's 24-23 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Wilson has shown flashes of fantasy relevance this season, but he needed to demonstrate consistency before managers could fully trust him. This week, he did just that, ranking among the top three on the team with six targets. Quarterback
Kyler Murray did overthrow Wilson on what could have been a go-ahead 60-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter. It's clear that Wilson has earned Murray's trust, and while he may not yet be a reliable starter, he's a name to watch on the waiver wire ahead of the Cardinals' Week 6 matchup against the Green Bay Packers.

Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride (concussion) returned to the lineup after missing last week's loss to the Commanders due to a concussion. He had a solid outing in the victory over the San Francisco 49ers, recording six catches for 53 yards in Sunday's 24-23 victory. Quarterback
Kyler Murray targeted McBride in the corner of the end zone, but he couldn't secure the catch, which would have capped off his day with a touchdown. It's clear that McBride is Murray's most trusted target, often receiving passes on third downs and when under pressure. With his performance, McBride is arguably the top fantasy tight end and a must-start against the Green Bay Packers next week in Week 6.

Despite facing what was expected to be his toughest matchup of the season, Arizona Cardinals running back
James Conner had a solid performance, racking up 100 total yards from scrimmage and scoring a crucial two-point conversion against the San Francisco 49ers. The 29-year-old
rushed 19 times for 86 yards and caught two of three targets for 14 yards in Sunday's win. After a challenging first half, the Cardinals shifted their offense to lean on Conner, giving him a total of 21 touches. He showcased his strength, breaking tackles and consistently pushing forward for tough yards. Notably, the Cardinals did not give any other running back a single carry in this game. With Conner firmly entrenched as the workhorse, he's a must-start against the Green Bay Packers next week in Week 6.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray delivered an impressive performance in Sunday's 24-23 victory over the San Francisco 49ers. He completed 19 of 30 pass attempts for 195 yards and a touchdown while rushing for 83 yards and another touchdown. From the first drive, it was clear Murray was ready for a bounce-back game, highlighted by a spectacular 50-yard rushing touchdown. He showed composure in the pocket, effectively taking what the defense offered, even though he fell short of 200 yards passing. He nearly added another touchdown through the air but was thwarted by a dropped pass from tight end
Trey McBride. Fantasy managers should be optimistic, as it appears the Cardinals will focus on more designed runs for Murray moving forward. Next week, the Cardinals will face the Green Bay Packers, making Murray a must-start option in Week 6.
