Monthly Archives: September 2017
Cardinals | Carson Palmer on track to play
Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer (non-injury) fully participated in practice Saturday, Sept. 23, and is not on the injury report for Week 3.
Footballguys View: Fantasy owners who stream QBs are not really thrilled if Palmer is their option this week. It’s a Monday night game against the Cowboys that gave up four TD passes to Trevor Siemian (Broncos) last week. The Cardinals offense has gotten off to a slow start in 2017, and they are hoping to get things revved up faster in Week 3.
Cardinals | JJ Nelson listed as questionable
Arizona Cardinals WR JJ Nelson (hamstring) was limited during practice Saturday, Sept. 23, and is listed as questionable for Week 3.
Footballguys View: Fantasy owners are looking forward to Nelson’s Monday night performance, but they have to have a backup plan in case he doesn’t play. He’s been limited all week in practice, and hamstring injuries can slow a speedy receiver like him down. We might see Jaron Brown get a little more love if Nelson isn’t quite himself.
Cardinals | John Brown will not play
Arizona Cardinals WR John Brown (quadriceps) did not participate in practice Saturday, Sept. 23, and has been ruled out for Week 3.
Footballguys View: No surprise here. Brown did not practice all week. On Monday night against the Cowboys, the Cardinals will line up Larry Fitzgerald, J.J. Nelson and Jaron Brown in 3WR sets.
