32. Week 8 Projection: Standard: 11/PPR: 16. WR. Arizona Cardinals. Larry Fitzgerald. 4. player

Start ‘Em #2

With how good Jerick McKinnon (last slide) has been this year, Larry Fitzgerald has been that bad.

Fitzgerald is having the worst year of his career so far, even though it may not be his fault entirely. He is getting much fewer targets with the emergence of young wide receiver Michael Floyd in the picture. Carson Palmer has seemed to favor throwing Floyd’s way most of the season.

Fitzgerald will always draw plenty of attention from opposing defenses as long as he plays in the NFL, and that is starting to show in the later years of his career. On the other side of the formation, Floyd is getting open relatively easy with all the attention on the future Hall of Famer.

All this being said, I think that Larry could have a breakout game in Week 8.

The Cardinals go up against the Eagles in a game with two 1-loss teams. I see this game being a high scoring one, which would mean that Fitzy needs to be involved.

I have him scoring his second touchdown of the year against a defense ranked 27th against receivers in terms of fantasy.

I would start him if you can.

Consider him a good flex option for Week 8.
