Dre Kirkpatrick Fantasy

The Cardinals Defense got a much-needed addition this weekend with the signing of veteran cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick. The team recently placed veteran cornerback Robert Alford (pectoral) on Injured Reserve and were in need of support at the position. Kirkpatrick will likely start alongside fellow veteran cornerback Patrick Peterson with second-year corner Byron Murphy Jr. also in the mix. The Cardinals defense allowed 27.6 points per game last year, the fifth most in the league. With the team's high-octane offense, their defense will likely be involved in a number of shootouts this year, making them a tough unit to trust for fantasy purposes.

The Cincinnati Bengals released cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick on Tuesday. The Bengals went all out to improve their defense in free agency, so Kirkpatrick is being shown the door. The 17th overall pick in the 2012 draft, Kirkpatrick should still see significant interest late in free agency now that he's available. The 30-year-old hasn't played in a full season since 2015 and started just six games in 2019 due to injuries. He recorded one sack, 33 tackles (27 solo), four passes defensed and one fumble recovery. In the right situation, Kirkpatrick could be an effective veteran presence for another team's secondary.
