Arizona Cardinals Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Surprisingly, Cardinals RB James Conner tied for the team league in targets with five and led the team in receiving with 80 yards. He ran the ball 12 times for 33 yards and a TD and was actually outperformed by rookie RB Trey Benson who had 62 yards rushing on 10 carries.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray set a franchise record with 17 straight completions against the Jets. He ended the game going 22-for-24 for 266 yards and a TD. Murray did score two rushing TDs with 21 yards total on the ground. After some lackluster performances, Murray getting back to fantasy relevancy was welcome this week.

Cardinals S Jalen Thompson is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jets. Thompson sustained an ankle injury in Thursday's practice and then missed Friday's workout. We'll watch for updates on his status through the weekend. If Thompson can't go, rookie Dadrion Taylor-Demerson would fill in.

Cardinals RB James Conner ran 18 times for 107 yards. He also caught all three targets for 12 yards. The downside was that RBs Emari Demercado and Trey Benson scored TDs while Conner was held out of the end zone.

Bears QB Caleb Williams and Cardinals QB Kyler Murray did not have a passing or rushing TD in their match-up this week. Williams completed 22 of 41 passes for 217 yards while Murray completed 12 of 20 passes for 154 yards.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray tallied 307 yards and 2 TDs on 26-of-36 passing in a Week 8 win over Miami. He didn’t account for a turnover and avoided a sack for the third straight game.

Cardinals Edge Dennis Gardeck will miss the rest of the season after tearing his right ACL in Monday night's win over the Chargers. Gardeck suffered the injury while playing on the punt-return team. He previously tore the same ACL at the end of the 2020 season.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. has cleared the concussion protocol and will play Monday against the Chargers, according to multiple reports. That's not shocking after Harrison put in a full practice Friday. You can find Harrison in WR2 territory of our Week 7 rankings.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) progressed to a full practice on Friday. He's on pace to be cleared for Monday night's game against the Chargers. In that case, he'll play his usual allotment of snaps. The Chargers rank seventh in adjusted fantasy points allowed to WRs but will be without CB Asante Samuel and potentially CB Kristian Fulton.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (concussion) got in a limited practice on Thursday. So he's made some progress through the protocol and has a chance to be cleared in time for Monday night's game vs. the Chargers. We'll see how he progresses over the next few days.

Cardinals LB Kyzir White left in the first half of Sunday's loss to the Packers with a knee injury and did not return. We'll watch for details on his outlook ahead of Arizona's Week 7 home date with the Chargers. Krys Barnes stepped in to play 74% of the defensive snaps against Green Bay, tying for fourth on the team. Mack Wilson led the LBs -- and ranked third among all defenders -- with 92% snap share.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride was the Cardinals' leading receiver catching all 8 targets for 96 yards. With Marvin Harrison Jr. leaving the game with a concussion, McBride became the first option for QB Kyler Murray

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison sustained a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Packers and has been ruled out. It's Harrison's second documented concussion, with the first coming in December 2022 at Ohio State. We'll track Harrison's progress through the protocol this coming week.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Packers. Chad Ryland will kick again for Arizona after connecting on three of four FGs last week, including the game-winning 35-yarder.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (knee) is "unlikely" to play vs. the Packers today, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Arizona elevated K Chad Ryland from the practice squad on Saturday. Look for Ryland to handle kicking duties today.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Packers. Chad Ryland will kick again for Arizona if Prater is unable to go. Avoid this situation in Week 6 fantasy lineups.

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch endured a quiet Sunday, catching one pass for 7 yards among 2 targets in the win over the 49ers. QB Kyler Murray spread 30 targets among eight Cardinals but sent 22 of them to the trio of TE Trey McBride (9), WR Marvin Harrison Jr. (7), and WR Michael Wilson (6).

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray posted a top 5 fantasy line among Week 5 QBs, with the Sunday night and Monday night games yet to go. He ran for 83 yards on 7 carries, including a 50-yard TD scamper. Murray added 195 yards and a TD passing, with 1 INT and a sack taken.

Despite a late "questionable" tag ahead of Sunday's win over the 49ers, Cardinals TE Trey McBride played a full snap allotment and led the team in targets. McBride played more snaps than any non-QB Arizona skill-position player. He also drew two more targets than any teammate (9), snagged a team-high 6 receptions, and finished with 53 yards.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (left knee) is inactive for today’s game vs. the 49ers. K Chad Ryland, elevated from the practice squad on Saturday, will handle kicking duties for Arizona.
