Fantasy Football Player Notes

Other than in Week 4 when Hopkins was battling an ankle injury, he has been everything his fantasy managers could have hoped for thus far. He has at least 137 yards or a touchdown in all four of his other games, and is getting an enormous target share each and every week. If he's not the top receiver on your board rest of season, he shouldn't be lower than second.

Edmonds enters the season in a familiar spot - as a fairly decent handcuff who could have enormous value (such as in Week 7 against the Giants last year) if the starter gets injured. Absent an injury to Kenyan Drake, Edmonds should see only a handful of touches per game and provide little fantasy value. If Drake does get injured, however, Edmonds has the chance to excel, given the Cardinals' addition of DeAndre Hopkins likely opening up running lanes, along with another year of growth from Kyler Murray. He's worth drafting as a handcuff in deeper formats.

Kirk will miss at least Week 3 with a groin injury. He hasn't been heavily involved with the offense even when healthy, so fantasy managers aren't missing much. Kirk is droppable, though there's no shame in continuing to roster him for now to see how the Cardinals offense develops over time.

Conner continues to produce each and every week. He may dominate from a yards-per-carry average at every turn, but he gets plenty of goal-line looks on a team that often plays from ahead. He's a locked-in strong RB2.

Isabella caught two touchdown passes in Week 3 against the Lions, but his long-term viability as a fantasy play is still questionable, considering Christian Kirk was out. He's someone to roster on your bench, but don't feel comfortable starting him until or unless you see another big game.
