Marvin Harrison Jr.

ARI Wide Receiver #18

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Marvin Harrison, Jr. (heel) will practice Wednesday.

Harrison, who sat out in Week 15 with the heel issue, could make yet another return to the Arizona lineup in time for a good matchup against a burnable Atlanta secondary dealing with myriad injuries going into Week 16. Harrison, who has 40 receptions over ten games this season, would profile as a WR3 play if he suits up and plays a full complement of snaps against the Falcons. The dominant Michael Wilson would go from a locked-in WR1 to an iffy WR3/4 with MHJ back in the lineup.
Zonovan Knight

ARI Running Back #20

Cardinals placed RB Zonovan Knight (ankle) on injured reserve.

The ankle injury suffered against the Texans in Week 15 will send the running back to season-ending IR. Knight had control of the lead role in the Cardinals backfield for the majority of the season after season-ending injuries to James Conner and Trey Benson left Arizona reliant on depth. The 24-year-old acquitted himself well with a 82/269/4 line on the ground, adding one receiving score on a 22/160 line through the air. He’ll be a restricted free agent this offseason. Knight showed enough to stick on a roster somewhere, even if he isn’t necessarily someone dynasty managers should build around.
Andre Baccellia

ARI Wide Receiver #82

Cardinals placed WR Andre Baccellia (neck) on injured reserve.

He’ll miss the remainder of the regular season. Baccellia suffered a scary neck injury and was stretchered off against the Texans in Week 15. The soon-to-be 29-year-old will be an exclusive rights free agent this offseason. He has had nine catches for 53 yards in three seasons on the active roster since coming into the NFL as a UDFA in 2020.
Zonovan Knight

ARI Running Back #20

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Cardinals RB Bam Knight (ankle) is believed to have suffered “a bad sprain” in Week 15’s loss to the Texans.

Knight is expected to undergo an MRI on Monday to confirm the diagnosis, but the belief is that he did not break anything. Knight is highly unlikely to play in Week 16’s game against the Falcons, and depending on the severity of his injury, it wouldn’t be surprising if this proved to be season-ending. We’ll check back in with an update when the team provides one, but an already thin Cardinals backfield could be looking at Emari Demercado and Michael Carter as it’s top two options down the stretch.
Elijah Higgins

ARI Tight End #84

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 for 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 Jaxon 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 here 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.
