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 TE Trey McBride (concussion) upgraded to full participation in Thursday's practice. Barring a setback, he'll return for this weekend's game vs. the 49ers. San Francisco sits eighth in adjusted fantasy points allowed to TEs but could be without LB Fred Warner on Sunday.

Cardinals K Matt Prater (left knee) did not practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he's able to play vs. the 49ers this weekend, but fantasy gamers would be wise to look elsewhere for a Week 5 kicker.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride (concussion) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. That means he's made some progress through the protocol but still has multiple stages to pass. We're tentatively expecting McBride to make it back for Sunday's game vs. the 49ers, but we'll update his status again tomorrow.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray underwhelmed with 142 passing yards and 1 TD in Week 4. He added only 3 rushing yards in a blowout loss to Washington. Prior to Sunday, Murray hit 20 rushing yards in eight straight going back to last season.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Commanders. He should have a good chance to clear protocol in time for Week 5, but we’ll track his progress next week. McBride’s absence leaves Arizona with TEs Elijah Higgins and Tip Reiman. Higgins, a converted college WR, is the better bet for fantasy points. Hopefully you don’t need him in season-long lineups, but Higgins is an interesting flier in DFS tournaments.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's looking unlikely to be cleared in time for this weekend's game vs. the Commanders. McBride's absence would leave Elijah Higgins as Arizona's likely lead pass-catching TE -- and push more targets to WRs Marvin Harrison, Michael Wilson, and Greg Dortch.

Cardinals HC Jonthan Gannon told reporters Monday afternoon that TE Trey McBride is in the concussion protocol. McBride went in for evaluation during Sunday's game against the Lions, but there was no report of the injury being confirmed. If McBride misses the Week 4 home date with Washington, then Elijah Higgins and rookie Tip Reiman would be next up at the position. WRs Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch would potentially benefit from target-share boosts as well.

Cardinals RB James Conner got just 9 carries and 1 target in Sunday's loss to the Lions. He turned those limited opportunities into a mere 17 rushing yards and an 8-yard catch.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. caught five passes for 64 yards in Sunday's loss to the Lions and scored for the second straight game. His 11 targets led the team for the second straight week, and Harrison tied for the team yardage lead despite a fairly inefficient performance: 5 receptions on 11 targets, 45.5% catch rate, 5.8 yards per target.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride was evaluated for a concussion, HC Jonathan Gannon said after the loss to the Lions. No word yet on whether McBride landed in concussion protocol. We should get an update on his status on Monday. McBride has no documented concussions in his injury history.

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch (hamstring) is active for today’s game vs. the Lions. He was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday, ultimately drawing a questionable tag. That adds obvious risk to his Week 3 profile, but there’s still upside here in a likely shootout against a Lions team that’s been lit up by slot receivers through two weeks.

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch (hamstring) is expected to play vs. the Lions today, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Dortch is listed questionable after being added to the injury report and limited in practice on Friday. That adds obvious risk to his Week 3 profile, although Dortch is in a nice spot today in a likely shootout against a Lions defense that's struggled defending slot receivers so far this season.

Cardinals WR Greg Dortch (hamstring) is questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Lions. He was added to the injury report on Friday and limited in practice. Dortch was looking like a sneaky Week 3 play in a likely shootout against a secondary that's struggled defending the slot so far. But this injury obviously puts a damper on his outlook. We'll look for further updates on Dortch but won't get Arizona's inactives until a little before 4 pm ET on Sunday.

Cardinals TE Trey McBride had a solid day though he failed to find the end zone. He caught all six of his targets for 67 yards. The Cardinals rolled over the Rams, scoring 41 points, and their number two TE Elijah Higgins caught a TD. It was still a promising volume day for McBride.

Cardinals RB James Conner ran the ball 21 times for 122 yards and a TD against the Los Angeles Rams. He also added one catch for two yards in a dominating win by the Cardinals.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray dominated the Rams at home going 17 for 21 for 266 yards and three TDs. He also ran the ball five times for 59 yards. He threw two TDs to WR Marvin Harrison Jr. and another to TE Elijah Higgins.

Cardinals WR Marvin Harrison Jr. bounced back from a one catch Week 1 performance to catch four of eight targets for 130 yards and two TDs. He absolutely dominated the Rams secondary, getting open with ease and linking up with QB Kyler Murray on multiple deep passes, averaging 32.5 yards per catch.

Cardinals RB James Conner stayed busy in Sunday's close loss to Buffalo. He handled 16 of 19 team RB attempts and 4 of 7 backfield targets.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray managed only 162 yards and 1 score in a Week 1 loss to Buffalo. He completed 21 of 31 passes.

Cardinals WR Zay Jones has been suspended for the first five games of the season for violating the NFL's personal conduct policy. Jones was arrested in November and charged with domestic battery, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Those charges were later dropped, but the league evidently found enough evidence of wrongdoing to hand down this suspension.
