Larry Fitzgerald Not Affected By Retirements of Bruce Arians and Carson Palmer
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald stated that the retirements of head coach Bruce Arians and quarterback Carson Palmer have not affected his decision on when he decides to retire. This comes in after there was a report that Fitzgerald would not retire until he found out who the new coach is. If Fitzgerald was to return, he would be considered a solid WR2 for the upcoming season despite his advanced age.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer has officially retired one day after head coach Bruce Arians announced his own retirement. This move was not completely unexpected, as Palmer had considered retirement throughout the season. With Arizona seemingly losing several key pieces this offseason, an acquisition via free agency or the draft at the position is almost a must. This should also have a large effect on players such as running back David Johnson and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald.However, it will take time to determine what their fantasy values will be for the upcoming season.
Solid Chance Larry Fitzgerald And Carson Palmer Retire
Just as Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians has announced his retirement, there is speculation that quarterback Carson Palmer and wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald might retire this offseason as well. This would be a huge blow to the team, as they would lose their franchise signal caller and leading wide receiver in one year. Fitzgerald finished the year as a WR1 while Palmer spent much of the year injured. Even if one or both of these players return, it is unknown how much they will fit with what will undoubtedly be a new offensive scheme.
David Johnson, Carson Palmer Not Expected To Return
Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said none of the team's Injured Reserve players, including running back David Johnson (wrist) and quarterback Carson Palmer (arm) have made much progress in their rehab, and none of them are expected to return this year. It was always a long shot that both Johnson and Palmer would return this year, and they should both be left to the waiver wire in redraft leagues. Palmer could ultimately decide to retire this offseason. Adrian Peterson continues to be Arizona's workhorse back and is a solid RB2 due to heavy volume. Blaine Gabbert is starting in Week 12 under center and is a low-end QB2.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer(arm) had his cast removed Monday. However, he is still a long way away from getting back on the field. Until Palmer returns, it appears that Blaine Gabbert and Drew Stanton(knee) will be quarterbacks for the team. Each is a low-end QB2, while Palmer brings a considerable upgrade to the position and should be considered a borderline QB1/2 should he return. However, Palmer's return likely wouldn't come until Week 16, otherwise known as the fantasy championship.
Carson Palmer Doesn't Know If He'll Return This Season
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer(arm) has stated that he doesn't know if he will return during the 2017 NFL season. This would be a blow to the Cardinals offense down the stretch, as quarterback Drew Stanton is not the same caliber of quarterback as Palmer. Fantasy owners should shy away from offensive weapons of the team at the moment, as their value seems to be headed in the wrong direction at the most crucial point of the fantasy season. Stanton projects as a low-end QB2 while wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and running back Adrian Peterson should be seen as high-end WR/RB3's, respectively. The other options on the Cardinals offense should only be rostered as upside lottery tickets at this point.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer (arm) is slated to have surgery to fix his broken arm Wednesday, according to a source. The team is hoping he will be out less than eight weeks. Even though the Cardinals are hoping for a late-season return for Palmer, one has to wonder if this is the end for the 37-year-old veteran. Even if he returns, he's likely to be of much use for fantasy owners and can be dropped in the majority of leagues. Drew Stanton replaced Palmer in Week 7 and was atrocious. It may not be long until Blaine Gabbert gets his shot under center in the desert.
Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians has stated that quarterback Carson Palmer, who broke his left arm in last week's game, could be out for four to six weeks and return before the end of the season. This is good news for fantasy owners with stock in the Cardinals offense as Palmer's return will boost their values for the fantasy playoffs. Although nothing is definite, keep an eye on how Palmer progresses in his recovery.
Arizona Cardinals head coach Bruce Arians said quarterback Carson Palmer will have surgery to fix his broken arm and will likely miss eight weeks. It's a tough break for the veteran quarterback. It doesn't mean his season is completely over, but he probably wouldn't be able to return until around Week 15, at best. That means you can safely drop him in fantasy leagues. Drew Stanton replaced Palmer in Week 7 against the Rams and didn't do anything. He'll be a bottom-barrel QB2 moving forward, and all of Arizona's pass catchers, including Larry Fitzgerald.
Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer (arm) was injured during the London matchup against the Los Angeles Rams. He is questionable to return. The veteran took a big hit during the second quarter and was forced to exit as a result with what is being called a left arm injury. Quarterback Drew Stanton has entered into the game and will play in Palmer's absence.
