8-8, 3rd NFC West
Final
Now in his second year, Kyler Murray will look to lead the Cardinals to a winning season. The offense is loaded with talent as they added DeAndre Hopkins in a trade with David Johnson this offseason. The receiving core is one of the deeper ones in the league with Christian Kirk and Larry Fitzgerald on the depth chart. Kenyan Drake will stick around at least another year on the franchise tag, as he came over from the Miami Dolphins last season. Arizona has surrounded Murray with a lot of talent, and improved the offensive line through the draft with Josh Jones.

Trying to climb up the rankings, the Arizona Cardinals added DeAndre Hopkins in the offseason. They had a very strong draft Arizona has a young offense led by second-year quarterback, Kyler Murray. He will have plenty of weapons around him as Christian Kirk, and Larry Fitzgerald is the other option besides Hopkins. Defensively the Cardinals needed a lot of help, and drafting Isaiah Simmons will be a great start. This depth chart is loaded with talent and should also be a very friendly fantasy football team. Positive regression is headed their way, given scoring numbers were fairly low despite them moving the ball.
Kenyan Drake is the starting running back for the Arizona Cardinals. After being traded from the Miami Dolphins, he headlines the Cardinals backfield, which has Chase Edmonds and rookie, Eno Benjamin. Edmonds will be the backup to Drake for the upcoming season.
The tight end position has not been a strong suit for Arizona, and this year is no different. With Dan Arnold and Maxx Williams as the tight ends, they will likely not be viable fantasy football options as the Cardinals will throw to a loaded wide receiver position.
Arizona’s wide receivers are made up of DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk, Andy Isabella, Hakeem Butler, and Keesean Johnson. Hopkins, Fitzgerald, and Kirk will be the main three when healthy. Isabella and Johnson will see the field four-wide sets.
Isaiah Simmons is a linebacker who can also play as an edge rusher and a safety. Playing at Clemson, he lined up all over the field, but the Arizona Cardinals have said they will shift his focus to being a dynamic linebacker.
Brett Hundley is the backup quarterback for the Arizona Cardinals. He will back up Kyler Murray for the upcoming season and does not have much starting experience in the NFL after being drafted back in 2015.
Patrick Peterson and Byron Murphy are the two starting cornerbacks for the Arizona Cardinals. Peterson has been one of the top cornerbacks over the last few seasons, while Murphy was drafted last season out of Washington.
