| QB | ![]() |
Kevin Kolb220 pass yards, pass TD, INT
Kolb had his best fantasy day in Week 4 against Miami, throwing for more than 300 yards and three touchdowns. He also threw his first two interceptions of the season. Despite the breakout performance, he's not a recommended start against the Rams, who have allowed only two passing touchdowns this season. |
| RB | ![]() |
Ryan Williams60 rush yards, rush TD, 3 rec, 20 rec yards
Williams' fantasy owners are still waiting for that breakout week after he rushed 13 times for 26 yards against Miami. He has to do better than 2.0 yards per carry before he earns an RB2 title in fantasy play, although a flex play against the Rams isn't a bad idea. |
| RB | ![]() |
William Powell15 rush yards, 2 rec, 15 rec yards
With Beanie Wells (toe) on IR, Powell had two carries for two yards against the Dolphins in Week 4. He also had two catches for six yards, but he's not worth a look in fantasy right now. |
| WR | ![]() |
Larry Fitzgerald7 rec, 75 yards, rec TD
The Cardinals' top playmaker caught eight passes for 64 yards and a touchdown against Miami in Week 4. He was targeted a team-high 15 times, though, and fantasy owners should remain excited about the rest of his season. |
| WR | ![]() |
Andre Roberts4 rec, 45 yards
Roberts had a banner day against the Dolphins in Week 4, catching six passes for 118 yards and scoring twice, including a touchdown that sent the game into overtime. He was targeted nine times, and fantasy owners should consider him a WR3 in bye weeks with good matchups. |
| TE | ![]() |
Rob Housler2 rec, 15 yards
Housler had a big 33-yard catch up the seam last week against the Dolphins, but didn't do much else. He's not worth a look in Week 5 at St. Louis. |
| K | ![]() |
Jay Feely2 PATs, 2 FGs
Feely's only field-goal attempt against the Dolphins ended the game in overtime in Week 4. He also had three extra points, but fantasy owners should look elsewhere for help in Week 5. He averages about eight fantasy points per game. |
| DEFENSE |
INT, 2 Sacks
After a five-sack Week 3 against the Eagles, the Cardinals had four sacks and four forced turnovers against Miami in Week 4. They allowed a season-high 21 points, however, and they remain a mediocre fantasy defense after failing to have the huge week many anticipated against a rookie QB. |

| QB | ![]() |
Sam Bradford210 pass yards, pass TD, INT, 15 rush yards
For the second week in a row, Bradford failed to throw a touchdown pass. He passed for 221 yards against Seattle in Week 4, but he's not yet reliable enough to start in fantasy -– especially against an improving Cardinals defense. |
| RB | ![]() |
Steven Jackson65 rush yards, 2 rec, 20 rec yards
While Jackson remains the top rushing option for the Rams, he's just not doing enough for his fantasy owners. He has yet to break the 60-yard mark in four games, and Arizona is pretty tough against the run. |
| RB | ![]() |
Daryl Richardson20 rush yards, 2 rec, 15 rec yards
Richardson got six carries for 16 yards and a couple short catches against the Seahawks in Week 4. Until Steven Jackson gets injured, fantasy owners should keep Richardson reserved. Jackson hasn't been outstanding either. |
| WR | ![]() |
Danny Amendola8 rec, 80 yards, rec TD
Amendola led the Rams in receiving once again, with six catches for 55 yards and a touchdown (on a fake field goal). That type of game will be more of the norm for Amendola than his crazy 15-catch, 160-yard Week 2. |
| WR | ![]() |
Brandon Gibson3 rec, 35 yards
Gibson played a supporting role in Week 4, with two catches for just 28 yards. He has yet to get more than four catches or 60 receiving yards in any game this season. |
| TE | ![]() |
Lance Kendricks2 rec, 25 yards
With two catches for 22 yards in Week 4, Kendricks is becoming a reliable TE3 in fantasy play. Look elsewhere for fantasy help this week. |
| K | ![]() |
Greg ZuerleinPAT, 3 FGs
Zuerlein kicked a franchise-record 58-yard field goal and then topped it with a 60-yarder, to go with two other field goals, in a win against Seattle in Week 4. He is a perfect 12-for-12 on the season and is worth starting at home in Week 5. |
| DEFENSE |
INT, 3 Sacks
The Rams' defense continues to show some promise, as it hurried rookie quarterback Russell Wilson into three interceptions in Week 4 while also notching two sacks. The Cardinals aren't a strong offense, but it's still tough to consider the Rams as a fantasy starter in Week 5. |
