Arizona Cardinals
NFC West
Jacoby Brissett completed 27-of-37 passes for 277 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact: Brissett was efficient and showed his typical veteran leadership in what most would call a season-opening upset of the Chargers. Brissett added 14 yards rushing on six carries, with a long of 11, giving him nearly 300 yards of total offense. The 11th-year veteran is coming off a career-best season, and he's now picked up right where he left off. Brissett could be a matchup-based streamer in standard leagues for the duration of the campaign.

Jeremiyah Love picked up 41 yards and a touchdown on 11 carries in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact: Love added a pair of grabs for nine yards to his NFL debut, and despite still being somewhat limited by the ankle sprain he sustained a month ago, the rookie certainly showed promise of things to come. Tyler Allgeier did get six more carries than Love, but that load share should begin to swing the other way as the season moves forward. The Cardinals have a tough matchup with the Seahawks on tap for Week 2.

Tyler Allgeier gained 61 yards on 17 carries and nine yards on two receptions in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact: Allgeier shouldered the majority of the backfield load for the Cardinals on Sunday, getting six more carries than Jeremiyah Love. Allgeier was not especially impressive, averaging just 3.6 yards per carry with a long of 11. Allgeier will remain involved, but the share of the carries should tilt more toward Love as the rookie gets further removed from the ankle sprain he sustained a month ago.

Kendrick Bourne caught all eight of his targets for 75 yards in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact: Well, this was surprising. Bourne outpaced both Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson in Sunday's season opener, finishing just one reception behind TE Trey McBride for the team lead. This effort should make Bourne a popular waiver claim for Week 2, but the Cardinals are headed into a tough matchup against the defending Super Bowl champs.

Michael Wilson secured 5-of-7 targets for 56 yards in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact: With his next lucrative contract extension in hand, Wilson turned in a decent performance during Sunday's win. The fourth-year receiver finished third on the team in receptions, targets, and receiving yards, maintaining a solid rapport with QB Jacoby Brissett.

Marvin Harrison Jr. caught only 1-of-3 targets for 33 yards in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact: Aside from one big play, Harrison did not make much of a mark for the Cardinals in Sunday's win. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett looked Harrison's way just three times, which was good for only fifth on the team. After finishing well behind fellow wide receivers Kendrick Bourne (8) and Michael Wilson (7) in targets, Harrison might be best viewed as a wait-and-see bench stash for now.

Trey McBride hauled in 9-of-13 targets for 95 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact: McBride is arguably the league's top fantasy asset at tight end, and he certainly looked the part in Week 1. Coming off back-to-back seasons with more than 100 receptions and 1,100 yards, McBride was QB Jacoby Brissett's favorite target on Sunday, getting five more looks than the next-closest Arizona pass catcher.

The Cardinals D/ST limited the Chargers to just 14 points and 268 yards of total offense in Sunday's 26-14 win.
Fantasy Impact: The Cardinals pulled off an impressive road victory in Week 1, and their defense played a huge part in it. The unti sacked Chargers QB Justin Herbert three times and forced a pair of turnovers. Arizona will certainly gain some extra attention after this performance, but will have its hands full with the defending Super Bowl champs in Week 2. The Seahawks will be without starting quarterback Sam Darnold (glute), though.

Chad Ryland made 4-of-5 field-goal attempts and both of his PATs in Sunday's 26-14 win over the Chargers.
Fantasy Impact: Ryland was very active in Week 1, making six of seven kicks overall for a total of 14 points. The fourth-year pro hit two field-goal attempts from beyond 40 yards, with a long of 49. The Cardinals could have a tougher time moving the ball against the division-rival Seahawks in Week 2.
