Arizona Cardinals Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (ankle) is expected to play vs. the Bears today. Murray was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable, but he's been trending toward returning for this one for a while. Murray ranks 3rd among QBs in fantasy points per game but comes with added risk this week. It'll be his first action since Week 8, WR DeAndre Hopkins is expected to be limited and the weather in Chicago could be an issue.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Bears. He got in 3 limited practices this week. HC Kliff Kingsbury labeled Murray a game-time decision on Friday, but multiple reports throughout the week had Murray expected back for this one. We'll find out for sure around 11:30 am ET on Sunday.

Saints RB Tony Jones is a healthy scratch for tonight's game vs. the Cowboys. Mark Ingram will operate as New Orleans' lead back, with Ty Montgomery in a change-of-pace role.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (ankle) and WR DeAndre Hopkins (hamstring) put in limited practices on Wednesday. HC Kliff Kingsbury confirmed that both guys are on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Bears, barring a setback over the next few days. We'll keep an eye on them, but Murray and Hopkins can be penciled into Week 13 fantasy lineups for now.

The Jets have placed RB Michael Carter on IR. He sprained an ankle last week and has been expected to miss at least 2 games. This designation means Carter will miss at least 3 contests. He can now return for the Week 15 rematch with Miami at the earliest.

Jets RB Michael Carter (ankle) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Texans. The rookie is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with his high-ankle sprain. His absence leaves New York’s backfield to Ty Johnson and Tevin Coleman. We’re expecting carries to be split fairly evenly, but Johnson should dominate passing-game work.

Jets RB Michael Carter is expected to miss 2-3 weeks with a "low-grade" high-ankle sprain, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. So the rookie figures to miss Week 12 vs. the Texans and Week 13 vs. the Eagles. We'll see if he can make it back for Week 14 vs. the Saints. Carter is worth stashing on fantasy benches for the stretch run. His absence leaves Ty Johnson and Tevin Coleman as New York's top 2 RBs. Carries could be split fairly evenly between them, but Johnson should dominate pass-catching work and is the superior fantasy play.

Jets RB Michael Carter injured his ankle in the 3rd quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Dolphins. He's officially questionable to return. Stay tuned for an update.

Cardinals S Budda Baker (heel) is active for today's game against the Seahawks. He entered the day questionable, but HC Kliff Kingsbury said he expected the safety to play.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (ankle) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Seahawks. He’ll get a Week 12 bye and figures to be back for Week 13’s meeting with the Bears. QB Colt McCoy (pectoral) is active and gets his 3rd straight start today.

Both ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Ian Rapoport hear that Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (ankle) is unlikely to play vs. the Seahawks today. Schefter reports that a final decision on Murray's status won't be made until pregame warmups but that "signs point" to QB Colt McCoy getting another start. Rapoport says there's a "chance" Murray is able to play -- but a "better chance" that it's McCoy. We won't get Arizona's inactives until 3 pm ET, so Murray belongs on fantasy benches unless we get a more optimistic report on his status. McCoy played well in his 1st start vs. the 49ers 2 weeks ago but bombed last week vs. the Panthers. He's a low-end QB2 and a clear downgrade for Arizona's offense.

Saints RB Tony Jones (ankle) has been activated from IR. He figures to serve as the #2 RB behind Mark Ingram vs. the Eagles on Sunday. Jones isn't a fantasy option; Ingram remains a solid RB2 play.

Cardinals QB Kyler Murray (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Seahawks. He got in 3 limited practices this week.

Cardinals HC Kliff Kingsbury said Monday that "it's going to be close" for QB Kyler Murray (ankle) to be ready for this weekend's game vs. the Seahawks. Murray returned to a limited practice on Friday but didn't seem close to playing vs. the Panthers. The Cardinals have a Week 12 bye, so they could get Murray 2 more weeks of rest if they hold him out this weekend. But the ugly loss last week might push the team to get Murray back out there. We'll keep you updated on his progress throughout this week.

Broncos LB Baron Browning left Sunday's loss to the Eagles early with a back injury. Browning showed up on Thursday's injury report with a back issue that kept him out and then limited his Friday participation.
