Rotoworld Player News

Elijah Higgins

ARI Tight End #84

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Elijah Higgins caught 1-of-2 targets for three yards in Arizona’s Week 15 loss to the Texans.

Higgins played 42-of-62 snaps for the Cardinals on offense and watched Trey McBride catch a lot of targets. We salute his selflessness.
Jalen Brooks

ARI Wide Receiver #86

Jalen Brooks caught 1-of-3 targets for 19 yards in Arizona’s Week 15 loss to the Texans.

Uh, yeah. That’s Arizona Cardinals WR2 Jalen Brooks, the former Cowboys 2023 seventh-round pick. Brooks played 43-of-62 snaps. The target tree in Arizona is narrow enough that Brooks still retains no fantasy value even if the seas have parted to allow him this opportunity.
Michael Wilson

ARI Wide Receiver #14

Michael Wilson caught 5-of-11 targets for 54 yards and a touchdown in Arizona’s Week 15 loss to the Texans.

He was 1-of-4 four six yards at halftime, and Jacoby Brissett’s lone interception came targeting him in the red zone in the third quarter. But he made a sensational sideline catch in the end zone with Kamari Lassiter draped all over him to avoid an ugly dud in your fantasy box score. Wilson will slide back down to WR3 next week if Marvin Harrison Jr. returns, but otherwise he can be fired up as a high-end WR2 with confidence against the Falcons.
Trey McBride

ARI Tight End #85

Trey McBride caught 12-of-13 targets for 134 yards and two touchdowns in Arizona’s Week 15 loss to the Texans.

He was unstoppable from the jump, taking underneath screens and running over Texans defenders as the Cardinals kept things conservative against Houston’s defensive line. He’s only the second receiver to score more than 20 PPR fantasy points against the Texans all season, after Jaxson Smith-Njigba did it in Week 7. McBride and Jacoby Brissett may not be winning (m)any games, but they are a fantasy bonfire that can’t be contained. McBride will be an easy TE1 overall against the Falcons in Week 16.
Emari Demercado

ARI Running Back #31

Emari Demercado rushed one time for one yard in the Cardinals’ Week 15 loss to the Texans.

He added two catches for ... zero yards, managing just seven snaps. It was disappointing that Demercado was a clear backup to Michael Carter, but it’s possible the Cardinals wanted to bring him along slowly in his return from a high-ankle sprain. The Cardinals will never make this easy to understand, so Demercado is still a potential RB3/FLEX play against the Falcons next week despite this dud. We’d feel better starting him if we got some coach quotes about the injury limiting him ahead of next Sunday.
Michael Carter

ARI Running Back #22

Michael Carter rushed 14 times for 56 yards in the Cardinals’ Week 15 loss to the Texans, adding four catches for 38 yards on four targets.

Carter was nearly an every-down running back, playing 49-of-62 snaps after Zonovan Knight’s early exit. Emari Demercado played just seven snaps behind him and didn’t really look himself. Of course, it’s possible that next week Demercado gets a larger share of the load as he — in theory — recovers more from his high-ankle sprain. Whoever totes the head of the Arizona role has some real RB3/FLEX fantasy equity against the Falcons next week, and Carter comes out of this week’s game looking like he’ll have the best shot at the role after Demercado’s disappointing day.
Jacoby Brissett

ARI Quarterback #7

Jacoby Brissett completed 27-of-40 passes for 249 yards, three touchdowns and an interception in the Cardinals’ 40-20, Week 15 loss to the Texans.

The Texans came up huge on a few key downs, including an end zone interception, to stop the overwhelming mass of positive energy that is Jacoby Brissett. The Cardinals went 1-for-3 on fourth-down gos and also left a two-point conversion on the turf, but anyone who had to start Brissett into one of the best defenses in the NFL was rewarded for their decision. Brissett will draw another tough matchup against a Falcons secondary that’s held down quarterbacks all season in Week 16, but it’s hard to say he’s not a QB1 the way he’s currently playing.
Cody Simon

ARI Linebacker #50

Cardinals LB Cody Simon (knee) left Arizona’s Week 15 game against the Texans and was ruled out.

Simon left in the first quarter, was initially questionable, and then was later ruled out. Owen Pappoe took over at linebacker. This injury could possibly end Simon’s season.
Andre Baccellia

ARI Wide Receiver #82

Cardinals WR Andre Baccellia (neck) left Arizona’s Week 15 game versus the Texans and did not return.

Baccellia took a kickoff and appeared to get lost in the pile after getting a helmet-to-helmet hit. We’re unsure exactly what the diagnosis is, but it looked serious and several players were praying as he was loaded up on the cart. He did show a little movement and gave a thumbs up while leaving. It would not be surprising if this injury sent Baccellia to season-ending injured reserve. He was taken to the hospital for further observation.
Zonovan Knight

ARI Running Back #20

Cardinals RB Zonovan Knight (ankle) left Arizona’s Week 15 game against the Texans and was ruled out.

He was carted off the field after being tackled on his first carry. Knight left with minus-2 rushing yards. Though they initially called him questionable, FOX’s sideline reporter Jen Hale described Knight as being “in a tremendous amount of pain.” Knight may be staring at a season-ending injury.
