Larry Fitzgerald

What happens when you have an offense that's going to run 70 plays per game, yet they have multiple rookie wide receivers in the starting lineup? You get a lot of Larry Fitzgerald targets. Many are basing their decisions not to draft Fitzgerald on what he offered last year, which was still a top-30 fantasy wide receiver while his team ran just 56 plays per game with Sam Bradford and Josh Rosen under center. Don't be shocked if Fitzgerald becomes a safety blanket for the rookie Kyler Murray and finishes as a top-30 wide receiver once again.

Larry Fitzgerald to return for 16th NFL season

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Larry Fitzgerald will return to the Cardinals for a 16th NFL season in 2019.

Fantasy Impact

That was quick. Fitzgerald left the door open for retirement after Arizona’s final regular season game, but he obviously didn’t but have to think about it for too long. Fitzgerald will play next season at age 36 and will be a trustworthy receiving option for Josh Rosen. There isn’t a whole lot of talent around Fitzgerald in Arizona, which could once again limit his fantasy upside. Perhaps new coach Kliff Kingsbury can scheme guys open more often next year.
