ARI QB Carson Palmer - Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Minnesota

Carson Palmer had 376 yards, a touchdown and a pair of interceptions in a close win over the 49ers last week. He’s been inconsistent this season after an MVP-caliber 2015, and is throwing an average of only 1.375 touchdowns per game, his worst average since 2011, his first year in Oakland. Palmer at age 36 may be slowing down a bit and the offensive line in Arizona has struggled with injuries and inconsistent play, hurting his week-to-week fantasy value.

The Vikings have slipped a bit recently, but they’re still a top-ten pass defense in both passing yards and touchdowns allowed. With Palmer’s struggles to put up consistent fantasy numbers this season and his propensity for turnovers, he’s too risky to trust in most fantasy leagues this week, and owners should look elsewhere if possible.

ARI QB Carson Palmer - Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. San Francisco

Carson Palmer had a nice fantasy outing the last time he took the field in Week 8 before the bye. While the Cardinals lost badly, Palmer had 363 yards and three touchdown passes with only one interception, giving the Cardinals hope for a turnaround.

This week should be another good game for Palmer. He faces a 49ers defense that has given up the fourth most touchdown passes this season and the most total points per game. Palmer is a great QB1 option in all league formats and should be one of the safer starts this week at the position.

ARI QB Carson Palmer - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Carolina
Carson Palmer had 342 yards against the Seahawks last week, but he didn’t score a touchdown as the game featured a strong defensive effort on both ends of the field. Palmer has struggled this season with inconsistency, turnovers, and injuries, making him a riskier option than anticipated after an MVP caliber season a year ago.

This week, he has a nice matchup against a Carolina team with problems in the secondary, but he’s battling a hamstring issue. He should be considered a low-end option in most leagues and fantasy owners should look to a safer option if at all possible.

ARI QB Carson Palmer - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Seattle
Carson Palmer only had 213 yards and a touchdown against the Jets on Monday night, as the Cardinals beat the snot out of the Jets and were able to rest Palmer at the end of the game to essentially run the clock out. It was good to see Palmer back after missing the previous week with a concussion, but he’s only had one really solid fantasy game this year so far, which is discerning for fantasy owners.

This week probably isn’t the best bet for him to get back on track. Palmer faces a Seahawks defense that is second in the league against the pass and has picked off opposing passers five times so far this year, versus allowing only four touchdown passes – three of which were last week against the blazing hot Matt Ryan. If you can look elsewhere for a QB this week, you should probably wait a little longer on Palmer.

ARI QB Carson Palmer - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. New York Jets
Carson Palmer has reportedly been cleared to return to action after missing last week with a concussion. He has struggled with turnovers this year, but is still averaging 269 passing yards per game and has an excellent array of weapons at his disposal.

This should be a good comeback week for him. Palmer faces a Jets pass defense that gave up 380 yards and four touchdowns to Ben Roethlisberger last week and has allowed 12 touchdown passes total this year. Look for Palmer to get back to QB1 numbers this week and he should be active in all leagues.

ARI QB Carson Palmer - Week 5, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at San Francisco
Carson Palmer struggled against the Rams on Sunday, throwing for 288 yards, a touchdown and a pick before being knocked out of the game with a concussion. Palmer has struggled this season with turnovers, and the Cardinals are a disappointing 1-3 to start the year. Palmer was supposed to be a steady producer, but has thrown only six touchdowns compared to five interceptions so far.

If he’s cleared for Thursday night’s game against the 49ers, he should be worth starting. The 49ers just lost their best defensive player – LB Navorro Bowman – for the season and have allowed eight touchdown passes to opposing teams this year, including two to rookie Dak Prescott this past Sunday. Watch the injury status though, because if he doesn’t clear concussion protocol, he won’t play. Be ready for a last minute lineup change.

Update:

It was announced Palmer will not play Thursday night. Be sure to get him out of your lineups.

ARI QB Carson Palmer - Week 4, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Los Angeles
Carson Palmer had a rough game against Buffalo last week. He threw for 287 yards, but didn’t find the end zone and had four interceptions. Palmer will need to get back on track after a shaky start to the season if the Cardinals are going to be in position for a deep playoff run again.

This week, Palmer should have a good chance at a rebound. While the Rams are supposed to be good on defense, they allowed 405 yards and three touchdowns passing to Jameis Winston last week and rank right in the middle of the league in pass defense. In a division game, the Cardinals need to get back on track and Palmer should be in line for at least borderline QB1 numbers this week.
