Hakeem Butler

Butler was someone I was a big fan of coming out of last year's draft, but the injury he suffered has put him significantly behind the 8-ball. Butler could see some snaps in 10-personnel this season, but it's unlikely that this leads to any significant fantasy football value. He'd be extremely valuable if one or two receivers above him miss time though. This offense is simply too powerful for someone not to be relevant.

The Arizona Cardinals placed Hakeem Butler on the injured reserve with a broken finger.

Fantasy Impact

Butler was dealing with an avulsion fracture and won't return this season. The rookie likely wasn't going to have much value in re-draft leagues this season, though playing in Arizona helps his dynasty outlook.
