NFC West

Fantasy Impact: Conner is now locked in the Arizona backfield after being scheduled to become a free-agent after this season. The running back has been a mostly reliable option leading the backfield attack for quarterback Kyler Murray this season, rushing for 705 yards and five touchdowns as well as recording 29 catches for 288 receiving yards so far this season.

The Cardinals' D/ST logged five sacks and one interception while allowing 16 points in Sunday's loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Arizona's defense played well on Sunday. They only allowed Seattle to score 16 points over the course of the afternoon, but that wasn't enough to propel them to a win. This unit should not be started in a tough matchup against the Vikings in Week 13.

Chad Ryland went 2-of-3 on his field goal attempts in Sunday's 16-6 loss the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Ryland was responsible for all of Arizona's points on Sunday, finishing with six on the day. His fantasy total wasn't very good, however, especially considering that he missed one of his three field goal attempts. Fantasy managers shouldn't start him moving forward.

Trey Benson rushed the ball four times for 18 yards in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: The rookie technically led the team in rushing yards on Sunday, but he did it with just 18 on the day. He didn't get in the end zone at all and wasn't involved in the passing game either, so he ended up with a very poor fantasy total. He will continue to be nothing more than weak handcuff for James Conner moving forward.

Michael Wilson caught two passes for 54 yards in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Arizona's offense struggled heavily on Sunday, and Wilson was no exception. He caught just two passes over the course of the afternoon, but he was actually able to turn that into a solid 54 yards. He remains squarely off of the fantasy radar for the foreseeable future.

Trey McBride caught 12-of-15 targets for 133 yards in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: McBride was Arizona's lone bright spot on Sunday. He saw some insane involvement against Seattle, being targeted 15 times while the next closest player was targeted only six times. He has been a good fantasy option at the position so far this season, despite having yet to score even a single receiving touchdown on the year.

Marvin Harrison Jr. caught 3-of-6 targets for 47 yards in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: The rookie continued to struggle on Sunday. He totaled just 47 yards in the team's loss to the Seahawks, which marks the eighth game that he has had under 60 yards this season. Fantasy managers should not trust starting him on a week-to-week basis at this point in the season.

Kyler Murray completed 24-of-37 passing attempts for 285 yards and an interception in Sunday's 16-6 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
Fantasy Impact: Murray had a bad game on Sunday. He was held without a touchdown and wasn't able to get anything going on the ground, which ultimately led to the Cardinals suffering a defeat at the hands of the Seahawks. He has high week-to-week upside but doesn't project to be a strong fantasy option in a matchup against Minnesota's tough defense in Week 13.

The NFL suspended Markus Bailey six games for violating the league’s policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Fantasy Impact: Prater has been on IR for the past few weeks. He is eligible to return in Week 12. Chad Ryland should continue to start in his absence.

Elijah Higgins hauled in both of his targets for 34 yards in Arizona's Week 9 win over Chicago.
Fantasy Impact: Higgins' 34 yards produced a new season-high. However, he remains off the fantasy radar as long as Trey McBride is healthy.

Emari Demercado rushed four times for 59 yards and a touchdown in the Cardinals' Week 9 victory versus the Bears. He additionally hauled in both of his targets for 21 yards.
Fantasy Impact: Demercado was uber-efficient this week, as he compiled 80 scrimmage yards on merely six touches. He notched his first touchdown of the season, where he broke loose for 53 yards in the final seconds before halftime. Despite the productive performance, Demercado remains off the fantasy radar as long as James Conner is healthy.

Greg Dortch failed to haul in his lone target in Arizona's Week 9 win against Chicago.
Fantasy Impact: Dortch was simply not needed this game, thanks to the Cardinals rushing attack and defense leading the way. He'll face the Jets in Week 10, but is only worth rostering in deeper fantasy formats.

Zay Jones caught one pass for three yards in Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
Fantasy Impact: Since returning from his suspension, Jones has been uninvolved in the offense and has only been targeted twice. Jones currrently has a limited pass catching role in the offense and is not fantasy-relevant.
