QUARTERBACKS

Kyler Murray540.3353.94025.225.1211.3580.3417.63.61302.21
Winning the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year and finishing as fantasy's QB7 in 2019, Murray gave the Cardinals and his fantasy owners a glimmer of hope of what he could become. By adding DeAndre Hopkins to Arizona's receiving corps, Murray's outlook is significantly improved heading into his sophomore campaign.

RUNNING BACKS


PlayerAtt.YardsTDRec.YardsTDPoints
Kenyan Drake214.2985.38.0346.7350.32.34195.78
Drake's midseason trade to Arizona erased fantasy owner's frustrations over his usage as most felt that he was under-utilized during his time in Miami. With virtually no time to prepare, Drake rattled off 162 scrimmage yards and a touchdown in his Arizona debut and was one of the most productive backs in the second half of the season. From Week 9 (his debut with the Cardinals) to Week 17, Drake was fantasy's RB4 behind CMC, Derrick Henry and Ezekiel Elliott. With David Johnson now in Houston, Drake enters the season as an RB1 in Arizona's ascending offense.
Chase Edmonds55.6244.61.9518.5136.90.5653.21
Edmonds played 60 snaps (94%) against the Giants in Week 8 and exploded for 150 YFS and three touchdowns on 29 touches. Missing all of November and playing only 15 offensive snaps in December, the third-year back out of Fordham enters 2020 as Kenyan Drake's primary handcuff with David Johnson now in Houston.

WIDE RECEIVERS


PlayerRec.YardsTDRushYardsTDPoints
DeAndre Hopkins88.81172.28.4415.50.01168.47
With 150-plus targets in five consecutive seasons, Hopkins has a league-high 830 over that span and he's second in receptions (504), yards (6,590) and touchdowns (46) since 2015. Even if he doesn't dominate targets to the same degree he did in Houston, Hopkins is a top-end WR1 heading into 2020 with his new club.
Christian Kirk60.1700.23.6110.387.60.21101.7
Kirk missed three games, but he led the team in targets per game (8.2), receptions (5.2) and yards (54.5) last season. Obviously, the opportunity to build upon those numbers in 2020 takes a huge blow with the addition of DeAndre Hopkins this offseason.
Larry Fitzgerald64.7689.13.7200091.23
Ranking second all-time in receptions and yards, Fitzgerald had 75/804/4 on 109 targets in his age-36 season. Like with Kirk, Fitzgerald will have difficulty matching those numbers with a new alpha receiver in town even though Kyler Murray has said that the team has a chance for three 1,000-yard receivers.
Andy Isabella19.3277.91.546.227.90.0640.18
Hakeem Butler11.9149.91.0100021.05
