Corey Peters Fantasy

The Arizona Cardinals placed defensive lineman Corey Peters (knee) and Jordan Phillips (hamstring) on Injured Reserve on Thursday, thereby officially ruling the duo out for their Week 11 matchup against Seattle. Domata Peko was brought in to help serve as depth on the defensive front, but with both players having logged a pair of sacks in 2020, the Cardinals Defense will be playing short-handed in their absence. While the unit began the year on a roaring start from a sack perspective, their upcoming matchups with the Seahawks, Patriots and Rams limits their season-long intrigue. Factor in the absence of two defensive line stalwarts, and fantasy managers are best served looking elsewhere for defensive production.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury said that defensive tackle Corey Peters (knee) will miss the rest of the season because of his knee injury. Peters has started nearly every game for the team in the last five seasons, so his loss will be a big one for Arizona's defensive line the rest of the way. The 32-year-old is dealing with a torn patellar tendon. The Cardinals run defense will be a bit more vulnerable without Peters in the fold the rest of the way. He racked up 15 tackles and two sacks before his injury this season. Arizona's D has allowed just four rushing touchdowns all season, which ties them for the fourth-fewest in the NFL.
