Arizona Cardinals wide receiver A.J. Green scored the first touchdown of his career as a non-Cincinnati Bengal during the win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The 33-year-old caught three passes from Kyler Murray, with one of them being a nine-yard grab for a score in the third quarter. While it's apparent that Green's best days are behind him, his 12 targets over the last two weeks would suggest that there is room for him on fantasy rosters in deeper formats. Murray is playing at an MVP level during the 2021 campaign, and because he has been so generous with spreading the ball around, it appears Green has more fantasy value than some realize moving ahead.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins pulled in his third touchdown grab of the year during Sunday's win over the Minnesota Vikings. The trip to the end zone came off a 15-yard pass from the mighty Kyler Murray late in the first quarter. Overall, the 29-year-old would go on to finish with four catches for 54 yards to increase his total to 12 receptions and 137 yards during the 2021 campaign. Still, it would be comforting to fantasy managers if Murray had looked his way a few more times over the last two weeks, but it's still been a successful start to the season for the veteran, nonetheless. While it goes without saying, Hopkins should remain a must-start option against the horrendous Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 3, although his ceiling may significantly lessen if the game gets out of hand on the scoring end.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Christian Kirk pulled in three of his four targets for 65 yards during the win over the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. Although the 24-year-old didn't find the end zone like some of his comrades, it was another strong showing from the former Aggie, who now has eight catches for 135 yards and two scores on the season. With Kyler Murray playing at an MVP level, it's ideal that managers continue to utilize Kirk's fantasy services moving ahead, including during the upcoming Week 3 matchup against the Jaguars.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Rondale Moore had a fantastic showing during Sunday's meeting with the Vikings, securing seven of his eight targets from Kyler Murray to finish with 114 yards and a score. While the rookie's fantasy output wouldn't have been as impressive had it not been for a 77-yard touchdown grab late in the second quarter, it's hard to downplay how well he's played throughout the first two weeks of his career. At this point, Moore is worth a start in virtually any fantasy format imaginable, with that notion staying true for the Week 3 matchup against the horrendous Jacksonville Jaguars.
Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner had 26 yards off eight carries during the win over the Vikings on Sunday. The 26-year-old hasn't done much to impress this year, especially since he remains stuck in a committee system with Chase Edmonds and Kyler Murray, who serves as a back in his own right. Although Conner is worth a stash in case brighter days lie ahead, he isn't deserving of a start in nearly any fantasy format at the moment, which includes the Week 3 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
