Fantasy Impact: Brown, who turns 27 years old this summer, has flashed his potential and big-play ability in the NFL but has also dealt with injuries the last two seasons. In 2023, playing for a rebuilding Cardinals team, he caught 51 of his 101 targets for 574 yards and four touchdowns. In Kansas City, he's penciled into a starting WR spot across from second-year WR Rashee Rice and TE Travis Kelce to catch passes from Patrick Mahomes in an offense designed by Andy Reid. It would be hard to find a better landing spot for Brown.

The Atlanta Falcons are acquiring WR Rondale Moore from the Arizona Cardinals in a player-for-player trade involving QB Demond Ridder. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Moore never had the breakout fans hoped for, with his yards per route run dropping every season (1.65, 1.47 and 0.73, respectively). Despite his drop in efficiency, Moore still has a potential niche to fill in the NFL as an underneath, speedy YAC threat or as a pseudo-satellite back. If Atlanta can get creative with Moore's usage, he could provide further versatility to the offense.

Fantasy Impact: The Cardinals will have another early pick in April, but it appears they'll use it to address the team needs elsewhere. It is still early so a lot can change, but for now it can be expected that Arizona will stick with Murray next season.

Arizona Cardinals D/ST allowed 31 points, while registering one interception in a 35-31 win over the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: The Cardinals’ defense allowed 184 passing yards and 91 rushing yards in the win over the Eagles. The defense was able to hold Jalen Hurts in check long enough for the Cardinals’ offense to get going and complete the upset victory. The Cardinals’ defense will take on the Seahawks to close out the season.

Matt Prater converted 2-of-2 field goals and 3-of-3 extra points in the Cardinals’ 35-31 win over the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: Prater remains one of the most reliable kickers in the league. The veteran has not missed a kick in his last four games and has missed just four total on the season. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable continuing to rely on Prater as we close out the season in Week 18.

Trey McBride caught 6-of-7 targets for 48 yards in the Cardinals’ 35-31 win over the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: McBride tied Greg Dortch for the team lead in targets Sunday. The 24-year-old will look to close out the season strong against Seattle in Week 18. Fantasy managers should expect McBride to be considered a top option at a thin position in 2024.

Michael Wilson caught 4-of-6 targets for 35 yards in the Cardinals’ 35-31 win over the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: Wilson found the end zone on a five-yard pass in the fourth quarter to tie the game. The 23-year-old wideout needed a bounce back performance after failing to record a catch on his last seven targets over the last two games. Wilson and the Cardinals will take on the Seahawks to close out the season.

Michael Carter rushed for 61 yards on seven carries in the Cardinals’ 35-31 win over the Eagles. He caught his lone target for a six yard touchdown.

Fantasy Impact: Carter’s six-yard touchdown reception came in the third quarter as the Cardinals’ began their comeback. The 24-year-old was the only other running back to record a rushing attempt behind starter James Conner. Carter will likely see plenty of playing time in Week 18, but should not be started by fantasy managers playing next week.

Emari Demercado caught 1-of-3 targets for nine yards in the Cardinals’ 35-31 win over the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact: Demercado did not log a rushing attempt and spears to have lost the backup job to Michael Carter. Fantasy managers should leave the rookie running back out of their lineups in Week 18 against Seattle.

James Conner rushed for 128 yards and a touchdown on 26 carries in the Cardinals’ 35-31 win over the Eagles. He caught 1-of-1 targets for five yards and a touchdown.

Fantasy Impact: Conner was a force in the running game, averaging 4.9 yards per carry. Conner has found the end zone in each of the last four games and will look to continue that streak in Week 18 against Seattle.

Fantasy Impact: With LB Josh Woods landing on IR, the Cardinals signed Maddox-Williams to replace him on the active roster. The 26-year-old will likely see meaningful snaps on a defense that has struggled throughout the season.

The Cardinals signed TE Travis Vokolek off the Ravens’ practice squad Wednesday. (Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Vokolek has yet to see the field this season but will get a chance with the Cardinals after the team placed Geoff Swaim on injured reserve. The 25-year-old will not see enough targets to be a fantasy option for the remainder of the season.
