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.
