ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Detroit Lions

Larry Fitzgerald doesn’t seem to age. Despite just turning 34, Fitzgerald is coming off two consecutive 1,000+ yard seasons and enters the year once again atop the Cardinals wide receiver depth chart. Fitzgerald has caught at least 100 passes in each of his past two seasons and clearly has the trust of Carson Palmer.

Fitzgerald will open the season against a Detroit team that allowed the second-most touchdown passes in the league last year. While Detroit has upgraded a bit on the defensive side of the ball—I’m a fan of Jarrad Davis in the middle—I still expect this game to feature a fair amount of passing. Fitzgerald’s age limits his WR1 upside, but he should be a steady WR2/Flex option all season, including this week.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - 2017 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

It took the 33-year-old Larry Fitzgerald a month after the Cardinals' 2016 season ended to announce he'd return for a 14th season. He knows the questions about his retirement will continue, but the veteran wide receiver doesn't plan on answering them all season long like he had to last year. Good to his word, he addressed his future as training camp opened, telling reporters his confidence remains as high as ever and feels he'll be as effective as ever. "I can still play at a high level," Fitzgerald said. "If my number is called I can still make a play." That was certainly the case last season as Fitzgerald led the NFL with 107 receptions while securing his place as a first-ballot Hall of Famer by moving into third on the all-time receptions list, as well as into the top 10 in all-time receiving yards (ninth) and touchdowns (eighth).

Fantasy Downside

Fitzgerald isn't the deep threat he once was and he's only hit double-digits in touchdown grabs once in the last seven seasons.

2017 Bottom Line

Even if this season is his last, which seems likely, it's not like Fitzgerald has shown signs of slowing noticeably after reaching the 1,000-yard mark for the eighth time in his career. Expect another solid campaign in 2017, and with a WR3 price tag, he'll be a fantastic value in PPR leagues.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 17, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Los Angeles

Larry Fitzgerald had only four catches for 31 yards against the Seahawks last week, and while he should continue to be an active part of the passing game, his lack of big numbers over the second half of the season is concerning. The Cardinals have looked underwhelming throughout the year, and while Fitzgerald has racked up receptions, his 9.6 yards per catch is a career-low.

This week, Fitzgerald faces a Rams defense that doesn’t allow many passing yards, but has given up 29 touchdown passes this year, tied for fourth most in the league. Still, the recent struggles by the team make him difficult to count on, and he’s a borderline WR2 to close out the season.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 16, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Seattle

Larry Fitzgerald had only 57 yards last week against the Saints, but he caught seven passes and was targeted nine times. Fitzgerald continues to be heavily targeted, making him valuable in PPR league formats, but his standard scoring output has been unimpressive over the second half of the season.

This probably isn’t the week he breaks out of that. Seattle has allowed the third least touchdown passes to opposing teams this season and feature one of the best CBs in football. Expect another slew of targets for Fitzgerald, making him a low-end WR2 option in most PPR formats, but if you can look elsewhere in standard leagues, you may be better off.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 15, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. New Orleans

Larry Fitzgerald had a rough game against Miami last week with only three catches and 12 yards. However, he still led the team with nine targets and continues to be the only reliable option in the passing game aside from RB David Johnson.

New Orleans has actually been average against the pass, giving up 19 touchdown passes all season, but they’ve given up a ton of yards. They rank 28th in the league, allowing 268 passing yards per game to opposing offenses. Fitzgerald should benefit from the matchup and another day with plenty of targets. He should be a borderline WR1 in all league formats, especially in PPR leagues.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 14, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 vs. Miami

Larry Fitzgerald hasn’t put up big yards the last three games, and he hasn’t scored since October 6th, but he gobbles up targets as well as anyone in the league right now. He’s tied with Antonio Brown for the most reception in the NFL going into Week 14, and had another 10 catches on 11 targets against Washington last week.

Fitzgerald goes up against an average Miami pass defense this week but should continue to catch a lot of passes, putting him in WR1 territory, especially in PPR formats. The Dolphins got absolutely torched by the Ravens passing offense last week, and the Cardinals should be able to put some pressure on an injured secondary and linebacking corps.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 13, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Washington

Larry Fitzgerald had his worst game of the season last week with only four catches for 53 yards against the Falcons. Otherwise, he’s been pretty steady this year, with no less than five catches in every other game. He hasn’t scored since Week 5, but continues to be the most heavily targeted receiver in Arizona.

This week, he’ll face a very average Washington pass defense that ranks 16th in the league in passing yards allowed per game. He should be once again targeted heavily by quarterback Carson Palmer and should be in for a good game. We have him as a top ten option and WR1 in all league formats, but he gets a little added value in PPR leagues due to the volume of balls that head in his direction.
