Michael Vick270 pass yards, 2 pass TDs, 2 INTs, 40 rush yards
No. 7 bounced back from a four-interception game at Cleveland to throw for 371 yards and a touchdown against the Ravens in Week 2. The Cardinals have yet to allow a rushing touchdown, but they aren't slouches against the pass, either. Nevertheless, Vick remains a solid starter while he's healthy. |
| RB | ![]() |
LeSean McCoy90 rush yards, rush TD, 5 rec, 30 rec yards
McCoy continues to produce like a first-round fantasy pick, with 191 total rushing yards and a touchdown. The Cardinals haven't allowed a rushing touchdown yet, but don't let that discourage you from starting McCoy, who can score on passing plays, too. |
| RB | ![]() |
Bryce Brown15 rush yards, 1 rec, 5 rec yards
With three carries in Week 2, Brown carries the designation of Eagles backup running back. Still, he doesn't see enough action to warrant a look in fantasy play. |
| WR | ![]() |
DeSean Jackson7 rec, 80 yards, rec TD
With Jeremy Maclin not at 100 percent because of his hip, Jackson and tight end Brent Celek picked up the receiving slack, with Jackson getting seven catches for 114 yards. Keep him active in Week 3 against the Cardinals, who have been pretty good so far. |
| WR | ![]() |
Jeremy Maclin3 rec, 35 yards
Maclin was questionable for Week 2 because of a hip pointer, but he was still able to play against the Ravens. He caught one pass (a touchdown) on one target. He left the game and could be a question mark again in Week 3. |
| TE | ![]() |
Brent Celek6 rec, 55 yards, rec TD
Celek had a banner day against the Ravens, catching eight passes for 157 yards. With 19 targets so far this season, it's obvious that he has grown on Michael Vick in the passing game. Keep him active against the Cardinals. |
| K | ![]() |
Alex Henery3 PATs, 2 FGs
The second-year kicker has just two field goals this season, but he should be able to at least duplicate that against an Arizona team that bends but doesn't break. |
| DEFENSE |
2 INTs, 3 Sacks, TD
The Eagles have forced six turnovers to go with four sacks. They should be an excellent start once again in Week 3, as the Cardinals host Philadelphia. The Cards have yet to solve their quarterback issues, and it is severely affecting the rest of their offense. |

| QB | ![]() |
Kevin Kolb205 pass yards, pass TD, 2 INTs
Kolb threw 27 passes against the Patriots, but only five of those passes went to playmaker Larry Fitzgerald. That's not good for Kolb or Fitzgerald. Fantasy owners still should stay away from Kolb in most formats. |
| RB | ![]() |
Beanie Wells45 rush yards, 3 rec, 30 rec yards
The Cardinals split their running back duties between Wells and Ryan Williams again in Week 2, and both were equally ineffective. Expect more of the same in Week 3. Wells, at least, showed some promise, but he’s not a good fantasy starter against the Eagles. |
| RB | ![]() |
Ryan Williams30 rush yards, 2 rec, 10 rec yards
Williams had just 13 yards on 10 carries against the Patriots. One of those carries was a late-game fumble, allowing New England a shot at the win, which will likely cost Williams more playing time. Cutting him in fantasy isn’t a horrible idea. |
| WR | ![]() |
Larry Fitzgerald5 rec, 50 yards, rec TD
One catch for four yards on five targets killed most of Fitzgerald's fantasy owners. It's understood that John Skelton is better for Fitzgerald's numbers, but Kevin Kolb ended up getting the win against New England. |
| WR | ![]() |
Andre Roberts4 rec, 40 yards
None of the Cardinals' wide receivers saw many passes from Kevin Kolb, but Roberts did score on the one pass thrown to him. The Eagles should give the Cardinals' passing game fits, which hurts any chances of Roberts repeating his feat. |
| TE | ![]() |
Todd Heap2 rec, 20 yards
Heap had a big game in Week 2, catching five passes for 62 yards before leaving the game with a sprained PCL in his knee. Despite the big day, it's tough to rely on him in fantasy play. |
| K | ![]() |
Jay FeelyPAT, 2 FGs
For the second week in a row, Feely came through with two field goals and two extra points. He's not going to get a ton of scoring chances with this offense, however, so his fantasy value is still relatively limited. |
| DEFENSE |
2 INTs, 2 Sacks
The Cardinals have had a couple stout defensive efforts in their first two games, totaling seven sacks with three turnovers. While they stymied Tom Brady and Co., it's tough to recommend starting them in fantasy against Michael Vick, LeSean McCoy and the Eagles' other playmakers. |
