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.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (hip) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Eagles, HC Kliff Kingsbury said. K Matt Ammendola, who kicked for the Chiefs in Weeks 2 and 3, will step in for Prater. We'd look elsewhere for your fantasy lineups.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice. We'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report for this weekend's game vs. the Texans.

Cardinals WR A.J. Green (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he can make it back for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles. Green isn't a fantasy option, but his return would likely push WR Rondale Moore into the slot where he belongs.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. He kicked through this issue last week, making 2 FGs and 2 XPs. But we'd look elsewhere for a Week 5 fantasy kicker.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (ankle) returned to a limited practice on Wednesday. That seemingly puts him on track to play vs. the Texans this weekend. We'll get another update on Jones tomorrow.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray threw 2 TD passes and ran for a 3rd in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. That was enough to put Murray 7th among fantasy QBs for the week, heading into Monday night. His yardage remained limited otherwise, though. Murray gained only 26 yards on 12 rushes and threw for a mere 207 (6.5 per attempt). He targeted WR Marquise Brown a team-high 11 times, completing 6 for 88 yards. TE Zach Ertz drew 6 looks, catching all 6 for 47. Those 2 caught Murray's TD throws. WR Rondale Moore checked in 3rd in targets in his 1st appearance of the season, catching 3 of 5 looks for 11 yards.

Browns QB Jacoby Brissett had a forgettable passing day -- 21 of 35, 234 yards, 0 TDs, 1 INT, sacked once -- in Sunday's loss to the Falcons. But he added his 1st rushing TD of the season from 4 yards out midway through the 2nd quarter. It was Brissett's 1st ground score of the year, as he totaled 16 yards on 5 carries. Brissett hasn't added enough on the ground to support his 207.5 passing yards per game and become a factor in 1-QB fantasy football leagues.

2:38pm UTC 10/2/22

Cardinals K Matt Prater (hip) is active for today’s game vs. the Panthers. He carries elevated risk in fantasy lineups at less than 100%.

11:35am UTC 10/2/22

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Eagles. That leaves WRs Jamal Agnew, Tim Jones and Kendric Pryor behind Christian Kirk and Marvin Jones. Kirk, Marvin Jones, TE Evan Engram and RB Travis Etienne could pick up extra volume with Zay Jones out.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Eagles today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Jones injured that ankle early in the practice week but was able to get in a limited practice on Friday. Still, it's unlikely that he'll be operating at 100% today.

Cardinals LB Zaven Collins (shoulder) and DE J.J. Watt (calf) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers. Collins managed limited practices all week. Watt sat out Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a limited Friday workout. We'll check the status of both players Sunday.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones (ankle) is questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Eagles. He returned to a limited practice on Friday after being added to the injury report and sidelined on Thursday. That gives Jones a shot to play this weekend, but we’d shy away from using him in fantasy lineups at less than 100%.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (hip) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Panthers. We'll see if Arizona makes a move to replace Prater, but you should look for healthier options for fantasy lineups.

As expected, Cardinals WR A.J. Green (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Panthers. Hopefully you weren’t counting on him. Green’s snaps figure to be picked up by some combination of WRs Andy Isabella and Andre Baccellia.

Jaguars WR Zay Jones was added to Thursday's injury report with an ankle and did not practice. That obviously puts his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Eagles in question. We'll have a better idea of Jones' status when we get Jacksonville's final injury report tomorrow.

Cardinals WR A.J. Green has a bone bruise in his knee and "could miss at least this week," HC Kliff Kingsbury said Monday. Green has been wildly ineffective so far but has played 64% of Arizona's offensive snaps. Those will need to be picked up by either Andy Isabella or Andre Baccellia.

11:12am UTC 9/26/22

Cardinals WR A.J. Green was knocked out of Sunday's loss to the Rams with a knee injury. We'll see about the severity, but Green has been a non-factor so far, catching just 5 of 13 targets for 29 yards through 3 weeks.

Cardinals LB Zaven Collins left Sunday's game against the Rams with a shoulder injury. We'll see about the severity. Collins has spent the past 2 games wearing the green dot on his helmet, meaning he calls the defensive plays.

2:57pm UTC 9/25/22

Cardinals RB James Conner (ankle) is active for today’s game vs. the Rams. He got in limited practices on Thursday and Friday and was reportedly a game-time decision, so it’s safe to assume that Conner isn’t at 100%. Consider him a risk/reward RB2.

Questionable with an ankle sprain, Cardinals RB James Conner “will test it pre-game but is tracking to play,” according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. We’ll watch for more on Conner’s status. The late-afternoon kick still makes him a risky start, unless you have an insurance option also beyond the 1 p.m. ET games
