This Week Outlook
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, S Budda Baker will miss the Arizona Cardinals final two regular season games after suffering a fractured shoulder in Sunday’s loss.
Fantasy Impact
The Cardinals have already been eliminated from playoff contention, so Baker’s season will end early. Baker is one of the key components to the Cardinals’ defensive system, and losing him is a big blow for the team to end the year. He finished the season with 111 tackles, one forced fumble and two interceptions.
Budda Baker (ankle) is active for Week 10 and will play for the Arizona Cardinals against the Los Angeles Rams Sunday.
Fantasy Impact
Baker was originally slated to be out for at least a couple of weeks with the ankle injury, but the safety was able to do enough throughout the week to be cleared in time for the team's Week 10 matchup.
Budda Baker suffered a high-ankle sprain on Sunday and the team hopes that he is out for just 2-to-3 weeks.
Fantasy Impact
Baker has been a key piece of the Arizona defense all season, collecting 71 tackles and two pass breakups in eight games played. The next three games for the Cardinals include matchups against the Rams, 49ers and Chargers as they currently sit at the bottom of the NFC West at 3-6.
Budda Baker (neck) is active for Week 17's game against the Rams.
Fantasy Impact
