Scouting report

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 12, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 vs. Atlanta

Larry Fitzgerald has been the only bright spot in the Arizona passing game this season, aside from David Johnson’s production out of the backfield. Fitzgerald is top-10 in the NFL in receiving yards and targets, and is second in the league with 74 receptions. He hasn’t found the end zone since October 6th, but he remains one of the most consistent WRs in fantasy football with at least five catches in every game.

This week, Fitzgerald has an excellent matchup against the Falcons. Atlanta has given up the second most passing yards per game and tied for the second most passing touchdowns this season to opposing offenses. Fitzgerald should once again be heavily targeted and should be in for a great game. We have him as a top-10 option and he should be active in all league formats.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 11, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Minnesota

Larry Fitzgerald had 133 yards on 12 receptions last week against the 49ers and was targeted an astounding 18 times on the day. Fitzgerald continues to be a solid borderline WR1 in all fantasy leagues this season and he’s been a steady producer week in and week out.

This week, Fitzgerald has a tough matchup against the Vikings, although Minnesota hasn’t been as dominant in recent weeks. While they rank in the top ten in pass defense, they allowed 262 yards and a pair of touchdowns to Kirk Cousins last week in a loss to Washington. Fantasy owners should temper their expectations, but Fitzgerald should still get enough targets to warrant WR2 value.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 10, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. San Francisco

Larry Fitzgerald had 10 catches for 74 yards against the Panthers two weeks ago before the bye, and he continues to be the most consistent and reliable target for QB Carson Palmer. Fitzgerald is a high floor fantasy option who hasn’t been targeted less than seven times in any game this year, and has only three games with less than 10 targets.

This week, Fitzgerald should be in for a great game. The 49ers have given up the fourth most passing touchdowns this season, and the most total points per game. Fitzgerald combined for 19 catches, 200 yards and two touchdowns in two games against San Francisco last season. Expect another full slate of targets for the veteran, which should turn into WR1 numbers in a great matchup.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 8, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Carolina
Larry Fitzgerald had nine catches for 70 yards on Sunday night against the Seahawks, and he was targeted a team-high 14 times. Fitzgerald is third in the league in receptions and tied for third in touchdown catches this season and has been a consistent WR2 during most weeks, especially in PPR formats.

This week, Fitzgerald should be in for a big day against a struggling Carolina secondary. The Panthers are tied for 26th in the league in passing yards allowed per game, and they’ve given up 13 touchdown passes this season. We have Fitzgerald in our top ten for a great matchup and he should be active in all league formats.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 7, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 vs. Seattle
Larry Fitzgerald had only 49 yards last week, but he caught six passes and was targeted a team-high nine times as the Cardinals beat the snot out of the Jets. Fitzgerald has been targeted at least seven times in every game this year and is tied for the league lead with five receiving touchdowns. He’s a quality WR2 option every week.

Fitzgerald’s value should be a little lower this week against a tough Seattle defense that ranks second in the league against the pass, although they gave up big numbers to Matt Ryan last week. Still, Fitzgerald is a high-floor option in all league formats and should be considered a quality WR2 who should gobble up another six or so receptions, even in a tough matchup.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 6, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. New York Jets
Larry Fitzgerald continues to defy age, as he ended up with six receptions for 81 yards and two touchdowns last week against the 49ers. Despite having a backup QB under center, Fitzgerald had a fantastic game and he is now tied for first in the league with five receiving touchdowns on the season.

This week, expect another big day from Fitzgerald against a struggling Jets secondary. The Jets have allowed 12 touchdown passes to opposing offenses, and while Darrelle Revis could make a return from injury this week, he hasn’t been as effective as he has been in years past. Fitzgerald is a borderline WR1 option and fantasy owners should take advantage of an excellent matchup.

ARI WR Larry Fitzgerald - Week 5, 2016 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at San Francisco
Larry Fitzgerald had only 62 yards on Sunday against the Rams, but he was targeted seven times and caught five passes. After starting the season on fire, Fitz has cooled off a bit over the last two weeks, failing to find the end zone since Week 2 against the Bucs. Still, he’s a big part of the Cardinals passing game and should be good as a steady option in most leagues.

This week, Fitzgerald has a nice matchup against the 49ers, who have allowed eight touchdown passes so far this season. However, with Carson Palmer possibly out with a concussion for Thursday night’s game, Fitzgerald should be knocked down a bit. He’s still worth starting, but if Palmer misses the game, he’s more of a WR3 option than a solid WR2.

Update:

With Palmer out Thursday night, Fitzgerald is a borderline WR2/WR3 option, even in a good matchup. Fitzgerald should still get targets, but he's not likely to put up big numbers with Drew Stanton behind center.
