Houston Texans 2-6 at Arizona Cardinals 4-4
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Andre Ellington
#17 Ranked RB
Let’s jog your memory: In Week 8 Andre Ellington rushed for 154 yards and a TD. Now that we have your attention, let’s all agree that the Cardinals have a new stud in town. Hopefully you picked him up. If you need a fantasy jolt, Andre is the ticket.
Arizona Defense
#4 Ranked DEF
When it comes to REAL football, Arizona has a fabulous defense. In fantasy, they’re a little all over the map. And even though Keenam was great last Sunday night against the Colts, the Houston team seems to be in disarray so you can look for the Cardinals defense to take advantage. Houston has given up the 3rd most points to opposing defenses. Most of those points were scored on the Schaub pick-6 habit, so it is a bit inflated, but either way, you could do worse.
Gut Calls
Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd
#18 Ranked WR and #34 Ranked WR
Coming off the bye, Fitzgerald owners hope he’s fully healed from his injury. And Michael Floyd owners hope he worked on his chemistry with Carson Palmer. Both WRs are worth consideration even though Houston has given up the 5th least fantasy points to opposing WRs. Defenses have to account for Ellington, so the offense should open up a bit. We like that.
Bench Warmers
Carson Palmer
#26 Ranked QB
If you use the Yahoo fantasy football platform, you’ll see that Palmer is owned in 34% of leagues. Who are these people? He averages less than 11 points per game. Are you the same 4% of people who approve of Congress? You are, aren’t you?
