QUARTERBACKS

Kyler Murray553.8373.84098.126.3111.9191.4502.75.26327.17
Colt McCoy41.727.5300.21.460.839.917.30.118.52

Kyler Murray: Early offseason drama led to Murray scrubbing his social media accounts of references to the Cardinals, but the dual-threat quarterback has a new contract and QB1 overall upside, when healthy. Even though he'll be without DeAndre Hopkins to start the season, the additions of Marquise Brown, his former Oklahoma teammate, and Trey McBride, the first tight end drafted in 2022, give Murray a talented group of pass catchers when the team's at full strength.

RUNNING BACKS

James Conner: Conner scored 18 regular-season touchdowns with multiple scores in six of 15 games last season as he finished 2021 as a top-five fantasy running back. The Cardinals have replaced Chase Edmonds, now in Miami, with Darrel Williams, but Conner enters 2022 as Arizona's clear lead back.

WIDE RECEIVERS

Antoine Wesley5.468.20.500012.52
Andy Isabella1.824.20.20004.52

Marquise Brown: Brown had a minimum of five targets and three receptions in every game last season as he posted his first-ever 1,000-yard campaign (91/1,008/6). With Baltimore trading him to Arizona, Brown is reunited with his former college quarterback and should be able to rebuild rapport early. The fourth-year receiver should be Arizona's WR1 for at least the first six games with DeAndre Hopkins suspended.

DeAndre Hopkins: Missing seven games in 2021, Hopkins set career lows in targets (64), receptions (42) and yards (572) as he averaged a non-rookie career low of 57.2 yards per game. A six-game suspension to begin the year limits Hopkins' ability to rebound strongly from last year's disappointing numbers.

TIGHT ENDS

Trey McBride22.7246.31.700046.18
Maxx Williams10.8125.40.700022.14

Zach Ertz: Targeted nine-plus times in the final four weeks of the season, Ertz finished that span with 28 catches for 253 yards on 43 targets. While those games overlapped with games that DeAndre Hopkins missed, Ertz should be heavily targeted during Hopkins' suspension to begin the season.
