Arizona Cardinals running back
Bam Knight had 10 carries for 12 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. He added four catches on five targets for 20 yards through the air. Knight was able to tough out an ankle injury that had limited him in practice leading up to Sunday's performance. The 24-year-old had to find the end zone to save his Week 12 fantasy performance, and he has now scored a touchdown in back-to-back weeks to stay fantasy viable. In a high-volume passing offense, Knight has become a touchdown-dependent running back in all fantasy formats. Since Week 9, over a third of Knight's fantasy points have come from his touchdown production. Heading into Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Knight's short-term fantasy appeal could run out if
Trey Benson (knee) returns from Injured Reserve.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon did not give an update on wide receiver
Marvin Harrison Jr.'s (appendix) status for Week 13 on Monday, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. "When he's physically and mentally healthy to play, he'll play," Gannon said. Harrison has missed the last two games after undergoing an appendectomy. In the 23-year-old's absence,
Michael Wilson has suddenly turned into
Ja'Marr Chase, catching 25 of his 33 targets for 303 receiving yards.
Greg Dortch has also seen a big uptick in production, catching 12 of his 15 targets for 119 yards and two touchdowns. As of right now, it seems as though Harrison will be in line to miss a third straight game this Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Harrison is out again, Wilson will be a must-start in all fantasy formats because of his major role upgrade.

The Arizona Cardinals could tweak their offense to make wide receiver
Michael Wilson the WR1, even when
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) returns, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. "Yeah. Throw it to the guys that are making plays for you. Absolutely," head coach Jonathan Gannon said when asked if Wilson could stay more involved when Harrison is back. In the two games that Harrison has missed due to an appendectomy, Wilson has gone off, catching 25 of 33 targets for 303 receiving yards. The sudden uptick in workload has made him a must-roster and must-start player in fantasy football as quarterback
Jacoby Brissett continues to latch onto him as his top target. Wilson's target share will inevitably drop when Harrison returns, but it might not end up being all that big of a drop. Even if Harrison returns in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Wilson should at least be in play as a WR3/flex for fantasy managers.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Kyler Murray (foot) is eligible to come off Injured Reserve in Week 14 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic. "He's working hard to get healthy. That's what he's doing right now. He's in every meeting, and he's engaged. He's rehabbing a boatload of time in there," head coach Jonathan Gannon said on Monday. Murray has been sidelined since suffering a mid-foot sprain in the Week 5 loss to the Tennessee Titans. It was reported earlier this month that Murray will be the backup QB when he's ready to come off IR, as veteran
Jacoby Brissett has given the Cardinals' passing offense a spark since Murray went down with an injury. Another disappointing and injury-plagued season for Murray has put his long-term future in doubt in Arizona.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch has caught 12 of his 15 targets for 119 yards and two touchdowns in the last two games, with
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) sidelined after undergoing an appendectomy. In the Week 12 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, the 27-year-old caught six of a season-high nine targets for 53 yards and scored for the second week in a row. He also carried the ball twice but lost five yards as a runner. Dortch has come alive the last two weeks with Harrison sidelined, and with Harrison's status unknown for a Week 13 date with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Dortch is worth a look on the waiver wire this week as WR depth. In deeper leagues, Dortch could continue to be an option as a WR4/flex play, even when Harrison returns, as the Cardinals' offense has become very pass-heavy with
Jacoby Brissett under center.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson put up another exceptional performance in Sunday's 27-24 OT loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and profiles as one of the week's biggest pickups if teammate
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) remains sidelined for another contest. Wilson has racked up gaudy numbers despite the team dropping their last two games. Over that stretch, the 25-year-old has posted 25 receptions and 303 scoreless yards on a whopping 33 targets. As of now, it's unclear how much longer the team will be without Harrison Jr., although it's possible that even his return may not knock Wilson down that many pegs. Quarterback
Jacoby Brissett is averaging 43.5 pass attempts per game since becoming the starter. That figure has jumped to 50 over the last three, supporting three solid fantasy options in two of them. Expectations will need to be tempered with the second-year pro coming back from an appendix issue, but Wilson has made a case to remain involved even when that happens.

Arizona Cardinals running back
Trey Benson (knee) has been on Injured Reserve since Week 4 due to a knee injury. However, Benson was able to practice in a limited capacity heading into Week 12 and could be on track to make his return in Week 13 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. If Benson is cleared to play against Tampa Bay, Arizona may not be able to afford to work him in slowly. Running back
Emari Demercado (ankle) missed Week 12 due to an ankle injury, and fellow Cardinals back
Bam Knight (leg) suffered a lower leg injury late in Week 12 that could put his status for Week 13 in jeopardy as well. Across four games before getting injured, Benson recorded 224 scrimmage yards on 42 touches. Even in shallow leagues or leagues without IR roster slots, Benson should be a waiver-wire target heading into Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch had six catches for 53 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. Dortch has stepped up for the Cardinals' offense in the absence of
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix). The 27-year-old has now earned six or more targets and scored a touchdown in back-to-back games. With quarterback
Jacoby Brissett under center, the Cardinals' offense has evolved into a pass-heavy unit, allowing for multiple fantasy-viable pass-catchers. It's unclear if Harrison will be ready to return in the Week 13 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, even if he does come back, Dortch should still be viewed as a viable flex option in deeper leagues with plenty of targets to go around in the Cardinals' offense.

Arizona Cardinals tight end
Trey McBride caught nine passes for 79 yards on 10 targets in Sunday's overtime 27-24 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12. McBride has now scored over 16 fantasy points in six straight weeks in PPR leagues and continues to separate himself from the rest of the tight ends in fantasy football. The 26-year-old was unable to find the end zone for the first time since Week 5 but was able to record double-digit targets for the fifth time in his last six games. McBride has managed to elevate his game to another level with
Jacoby Brissett under center and continues to make his case to finish as the TE1 overall for the 2025 season. Heading into Week 13, McBride should continue to be viewed as a set-and-forget TE1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson has immediately become a legitimate contributor for the Cardinals and fantasy managers in the last two games with
Marvin Harrison Jr. out following an appendectomy. For the second straight week, Wilson had double-digit receptions (10) and over 100 yards (118) on a team-15 targets in the team's 27-24 overtime loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday in Week 12. Last week, the 25-year-old caught 15 of his 18 targets for 185 yards. Quarterback
Jacoby Brissett has latched onto Wilson as his top target with Harrison sidelined, making him a popular waiver-wire pickup last week. If Wilson is still available in your league, he needs to be scooped up immediately. It's unclear if Harrison will be ready to return in Week 13 versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but even if he does come back, Wilson should remain involved in a fantastic matchup against a Bucs defense that has given up tons of yardage the last few weeks through the air.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback
Jacoby Brissett completed 33 of 49 pass attempts for 317 yards, one touchdown, and zero interceptions in his team's 27-24 overtime Week 12 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Since taking over as the Cardinals' starting QB for the injured
Kyler Murray (foot) in Week 6, Brissett has led one of the league's highest-volume passing attacks. Over his last three games alone, the 32-year-old has attempted a whopping 150 passes. The consistently high volume of throws has helped Brissett put up some impressive counting stats. Across eight games (six starts) in 2025, he's thrown for 1,867 yards, 11 touchdowns, and three interceptions. As long as the Cardinals continue to turn to the air at a high rate, Brissett warrants starting consideration from fantasy managers, even in single-QB formats. Arizona will travel to Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers in Week 13.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Michael Wilson remains atop the depth chart after
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) was ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 contest against the Jacksonville Jaguars. This will be Wilson's second consecutive game as the top wide receiver in Arizona. He dominated last week's contest, catching a whopping 15 of 18 targets for 185 yards. Quarterback
Jacoby Brissett set the NFL's all-time single-game completion record in that outing, so perhaps Wilson's volume will drop a little in Week 12. Still, he's a strong candidate to fetch double-digit targets. He'll also have a decent chance to score his first touchdown since Week 2, especially against a Jaguars defense allowing the eighth-most touchdowns to wide receivers in 2025. Wilson is a strong fantasy starter in most leagues on Sunday, checking in as the overall WR18 in RotoBaller's latest Week 12 fantasy rankings.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver
Greg Dortch should once again see an expanded role in the receiving game this weekend. Fellow wideout
Marvin Harrison Jr. (appendix) has been ruled out for a second straight game. Last week, Dortch hauled in all six of his targets for 66 yards and a touchdown in the loss to the San Francisco 49ers. Prior to that, Dortch went two straight games without a catch. That being said, Dortch doesn't seem to carry much long-term value, but is worth a look while Harrison is out. Given his success last week, Dortch should once again see a good volume in the passing game. He'll get a favorable matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars defense that has struggled to contain the passing game. Dortch should be viewed as a flex option for this weekend.

Arizona Cardinals kicker
Chad Ryland has had back-to-back games under five fantasy points for the first time this season. The 26-year-old went one for two with making an extra point attempt during Week 11's matchup against the San Francisco 49ers, making a field goal within the 30 and missing his first field goal on the year from 50-plus yards out. Ryland and the Cardinals will face the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 12, and they have allowed the 10th most passing yards this season. The Cardinals should be able to move the ball through the air to get Ryland into field goal range quite consistently. Fantasy managers can insert Ryland into lineups as a viable streaming option in Week 12.

The Arizona Cardinals D/ST is looking to bounce back after a rough outing in Week 11 against the San Francisco 49ers. They gave up a season-high 41 points and were unable to force a turnover for the third time this season. In Week 12, the Cardinals D/ST will host the Jacksonville Jaguars, led by turnover-prone quarterback
Trevor Lawrence, without his top receiver,
Brian Thomas Jr. (ankle), who was ruled out with an ankle injury. Lawrence has thrown an interception in each of his last three games and has thrown eight total this season. The Cardinals' D/ST has been able to snag six interceptions this season, and will have top defensive lineman Calais Campbell active to put pressure on the Jaguars' offensive line. With a depleted Jaguars passing attack, the Arizona Cardinals D/ST is worth taking a flyer on this week.
