Arizona Cardinals

Jonathan Gannon has been fired by the Arizona Cardinals after three seasons with the team.

Fantasy Impact

Gannon failed to do much with the Cardinals in his three seasons, especially on the defensive side. As someone who was seen as seen as a good defensive hire thanks to his work as Philadelphia’s DC, Gannon’s defense became one of the worst units in the league in 2025, minus the play of Buddy Baker. He will look to find a home elsewhere and the Cardinals will begin their head coach search alongside a handful of other teams.

The Cardinals D/ST allowed 259 passing yards, 143 rushing yards, and 37 points in a 37-20 loss to the Rams.

Fantasy Impact

The Cardinals' defense tallied one sack and failed to force a turnover in the loss. The defense left a lot to be desired this season and the Cardinals will likely look to improve in free agency in the draft ahead of the 2026 season.

The Cardinals D/ST allowed 37 points on 429 total yards with three sacks on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

The Cardinals defense remains well off the fantasy radar at this point.

The Cardinals' D/ST logged one sack, one interception, and one fumble recovery while allowing 26 points in Sunday's loss to the Atlanta Falcons.

Fantasy Impact

Arizona's defense was able to log a couple of key takeaways on Sunday, but that wasn't enough to lead them to a win over the Falcons. They allowed 26 points and will now fall to a lowly 3-12 on the season. This unit should not be started in a matchup against the Bengals next week.

The Arizona Cardinals D/ST allowed 40 points and got just a single sack in the Cardinals' 40-20 loss to the Texans on Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

The Cardinals' defense has allowed 40+ points in back-to-back games and in four of their last six. HC Jonathan Gannon has a defensive background, and it's not a good look for him to have his defense allowing so many points. The offense has been able to put up points at times, but the defense is simply too much to overcome.
