Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch could be in for a downtick in production this Sunday if teammate
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) returns to action. Dortch has been solid over Arizona's previous two contests, racking up six catches and a touchdown in each, with Harrison Jr. sidelined due to an appendectomy. For as serviceable as the former's been, his workload is set to taper off significantly upon Harrison Jr.'s return. Despite Arizona airing it out at a pace of 50 pass attempts per game over their last three, the presence of an emerging
Michael Wilson and superstar tight end
Trey McBride will make it too tricky for quarterback
Jacoby Brissett to support four fantasy-worthy options. If Harrison Jr. sits another week, Dortch would be a nice PPR play against the hosting Buccaneers.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice with a knee injury. The Cardinals' backfield remains banged up as
Trey Benson (knee) and
Emari Demercado (ankle) did not practice on Thursday, leaving
Michael Carter as the team's only healthy back. Knight has now logged back-to-back limited sessions and will need to be a full participant on Friday to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Knight has caught four passes and found the end zone in back-to-back weeks. The 24-year-old will look to score for a third straight game and can be used as a FLEX option if Benson and Demercado are ruled out again in Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) was limited again in Thursday's practice. He was limited for a second straight day and is trending in the right direction to suit up for Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 23-year-old has missed the last two games after undergoing an appendectomy following Week 10. He has caught 34 of 62 targets for 525 yards and four touchdowns over nine games in 2025. Harrison will have one more chance to log a full practice, but will likely carry an injury designation heading into Week 13. If Harrison is unable to suit up, look for
Michael Wilson and
Greg Dortch to see another uptick in targets and snaps with Harrison sidelined.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) wasn't present at Thursday's practice. Benson was limited on Wednesday and not spotted for Thursday's session. The 23-year-old has not played since suffering a knee injury in Week 4. It's unclear if Benson was given a maintenance day, but fantasy managers should continue to monitor the situation. He will have one more day to practice ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Emari Demercado (ankle) was also not spotted at practice. If Benson and Demercado are unable to go in Week 13, look for
Bam Knight and
Michael Carter to lead Arizona's backfield once again. If active, Benson is considered a FLEX play in the first game back since Week 4 and is ranked 36th among all running backs heading into this week.

Since returning to practice before the team's Week 12 loss to the Jaguars, Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) has been a limited participant in all reported practices, including Wednesday's first session of the week in preparation for a Week 13 matchup with the Buccaneers. Benson has not played since a Week 4 loss to the Seahawks in which he injured his meniscus, requiring in-season surgery. In his absence, the Cardinals have gotten contributions from
Bam Knight,
Michael Carter, and
Emari Demercado, though Knight and Demercado also began the week as limited practice participants, and none of the committee members have carved out a particularly inspiring role from a fantasy perspective. After losing
James Conner (foot) to a gruesome Week 3 injury, the Cardinals' short-lived plan was to turn the entire backfield over to Benson. Now, as he nears a return, the plan may still be in place. While managers with the luxury of taking a wait-and-see approach should be in no hurry to force Benson back into their lineup following a prolonged absence, those desperately fighting for a playoff berth may be forced to start him as soon as he is made available.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight (knee) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday. Knight dealt with an ankle issue ahead of the two previous contests, but was active in both. Now, it appears he's over the injury, but picked up a knee problem during Sunday's loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Knight didn't have much success in the backfield over the weekend as he rushed for 12 yards on 10 carries, but salvaged his fantasy value with a touchdown. His fantasy value could be on the downward trend with
Trey Benson (knee) preparing to return to the field. Fantasy managers will need to monitor the health of this backfield throughout the week ahead of their Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) was limited in his return to practice on Wednesday, per AZCardinals.com's Darren Urban. Harrison had an appendectomy following the team's Week 10 game, and he's missed the last two games as a result. Although nothing is official yet, the 23-year-old second-year wideout could be on track to return in Week 13 on the road against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers if he's able to upgrade to a full practice on Thursday or Friday. It's good news for his fantasy managers, although there have been indications that Harrison could take a back seat to
Michael Wilson, who has a whopping 25 catches on 33 targets for 303 yards the last two weeks, when he returns. Although Harrison has been better since quarterback
Jacoby Brissett took over the offense, he still has yet to live up to his draft status of fourth overall in 2024.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee), who is still on Injured Reserve, was limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. Benson returned to practice last Wednesday for the first time since undergoing surgery earlier this year on his meniscus. The 23-year-old has now put in four straight limited practices. He might need to upgrade to a full practice this week to be activated from the IR before Sunday's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Bam Knight continues to be limited in practice with a knee injury, but he should be fine to play this weekend. If Benson is held out for another game, Knight figures to continue in the lead-back role with
Emari Demercado still dealing with an ankle sprain. If Benson is cleared to play against Tampa, his snaps may be capped in his first game back since Week 4.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) was seen participating in Wednesday's practice session, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. The Cardinals opened Benson's 21-day practice window last week, and he was limited in practice every day before ultimately being ruled out for Week 12. Head coach Jonathan Gannon did not have an update on the second-year back's status for Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, so his chances of returning are still up in the air. The Arizona backfield continues to be a headache for fantasy managers and is also riddled with injury, as
Emari Demercado (ankle) missed Week 12, and
Bam Knight was on the injury report last week with an ankle injury as well. There should be more word on Benson's game status in the coming days, and he remains a solid stash for his eventual return.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) was back at practice on Wednesday after missing the last two games due to appendix surgery, according to Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com. Harrison should have a good chance to return to action in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, assuming everything goes well in practice this week. His status will continue to be monitored in the next two days.
Michael Wilson has emerged as a fantasy stud during Harrison's absence, recording a whopping 25 receptions for 303 yards on 33 targets in the past two games. Wilson should continue to get more opportunities, which creates an interesting conversation about what Harrison's fantasy value could look like when he returns. There has been plenty of pass volume in Arizona with
Jacoby Brissett at quarterback, so Harrison could still be relied on as a WR3 in Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch has delivered back-to-back productive games with
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) sidelined. Over the past two weeks, Dortch has caught 12 passes on 15 targets for 119 yards and a touchdown in each game. Dortch has played 65% of the snaps during this period, more than doubling the snaps he previously played. Head coach Jonathan Gannon stated that there is no timetable for Harrison's return, which gives Dortch the opportunity to continue producing. The Cardinals face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 13, who have allowed the tenth most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. If Harrison remains out, Dortch should remain a valuable asset for fantasy managers.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson has seen a staggering 32 targets over his last two games, converting that into 25 catches for 303 yards. In a rare third-year midseason breakout, he has taken full advantage of the opportunity presented by the two-game absence of
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix), who continues to recover from an emergency appendectomy. When asked on Tuesday about Wilson's role upon Harrison's return, Cardinals offensive coordinator Drew Petzing offered that he would be moved around the formation while continuing to see early reads. He went on to say, "When you produce in this league, we're gonna give you more opportunities to continue to do that." Wilson remains a must-start for as long as Harrison is out, but in a suddenly pass-heavy
Jacoby Brissett-led offense, he should maintain flex value down the stretch and into the fantasy playoffs.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight has enjoyed an extended run as the team's lead back with
Trey Benson (knee) on injured reserve and
Emari Demercado (ankle) also missing time. Knight's fantasy appeal could come to an end with Benson's practice window opened last week, and him being listed as a limited participant every day in practice last week. Benson could be on track to return in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but could be eased back into action after missing seven consecutive games. Knight could be in a timeshare with the second-year back in the short term before Benson is ready to take on a bigger workload. If Benson isn't ready to return just yet, Knight will rank as a touchdown-dependent RB3 for Week 13 against the Bucs.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Jacoby Brissett continues to put up solid numbers on a weekly basis, and he can be a solid option in deep leagues or two-quarterback formats. The veteran has thrown for over 250 yards in each of his six starts, while totaling 11 touchdowns and just three interceptions. Last week, he threw for 317 yards and a touchdown in the team's loss to the Jaguars while adding 20 rushing yards. He has been given a huge volume of pass attempts with a limited run game and a defense that typically leaves him playing from behind. He's put together impressive numbers, and he will get at least one more start this week against the Buccaneers before
Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to return from IR. Given how productive he has been, the Cards may opt to stick with Brissett, depending on their direction for the future beyond this season. For fantasy purposes, Brissett can be a solid option this week against the Bucs, but a Week 14 matchup with the Rams would be tough even if he gets another start.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Michael Carter had five carries for 28 yards in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. Carter also had three catches for 30 yards on three targets. The 26-year-old had his most efficient rushing game of the year in Sunday's matchup, gaining 5.6 yards per carry. Carter will need to continue to maximize each carry he gets in this pass-heavy offense to stay relevant in fantasy in his limited rushing role. Carter has also not seen double-digit touches in a game since Week 6. Fantasy managers should consider Carter a desperation flex option in deeper leagues heading into Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He'll fall to RB3 duties if
Trey Benson (knee) returns from Injured Reserve.
