Arizona Cardinals DVOA, Stats, & NFL Rankings

Arizona Cardinals tight end Trey McBride remains at the top of tight end rankings as the Cardinals host the New York Jets in Week 10. McBride finally broke through and scored his first offensive touchdown of the season on a 2-yard jet sweep rush. It's clear that McBride remains the focal point of the Cardinals' passing attack, even though he has not yet recorded an end-zone reception this season. McBride is one of the premier tight ends in fantasy football, and that is likely to remain the case as the Cardinals host the Jets.

Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. is a boom-or-bust wide receiver when the Cardinals host the New York Jets in Week 10. Harrison Jr. led the team in targets in the Week 9 victory over the Chicago Bears; however, he only caught two of his targets. The Cardinals shifted to a run-first game plan and cruised to victory, not needing much production from the passing game to secure the win. In Week 10, the Cardinals will be underdogs against the Jets and will likely have to throw the ball more to get a victory, which creates a better game script for Harrison Jr. and the rest of the Cardinals' pass-catchers. Harrison Jr.'s inconsistency has made him a boom-or-bust player, but he could be due for a boom. Unless your roster has better options, Harrison Jr. will likely be a wide receiver two or flex in Week 10 when the Cardinals host the Jets.

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kyler Murray is valued as a mid-tier QB1 when the Cardinals host the New York Jets in Week 10. Murray delivered a quiet fantasy outing last week in the 29-9 victory over the Chicago Bears, but that shouldn't concern fantasy managers, as he is still playing his best football of the season recently. The Cardinals took an early lead and shifted to a run-first approach en route to victory, which was the primary contributor to Murray's low fantasy output. However, the Cardinals are currently underdogs to the Jets, and a closely contested matchup will likely lead to higher fantasy numbers for Murray. The Cardinals' offensive line has been great in pass protection and will be equipped to handle the Jets' solid pass rush. There is no reason to bench Murray heading into the Week 10 matchup against the Jets.

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (finger) was once again limited in practice on Thursday. The veteran back has now opened the week with back-to-back limited practice sessions due to a finger injury. Conner is coming off his third 100-plus yard rushing game of the season. He has been tough to stop on the ground and will be an important piece of this offense against the New York Jets in Week 10. If he sits, Trey Benson and Emari Demercado would split up the carries in the backfield. Although, it seems like Conner should be good to go and should be a solid RB2 this weekend.

Arizona Cardinals running back James Conner (finger) was listed as a limited participant in the team's first practice of the week. Conner left Arizona's 29-9 win against Chicago on Sunday, but the finger issue is new for the 29-year-old. That he was limited is good news, but fantasy managers should keep an eye on his status over the next few days. It might behoove Conner owners to tentatively scoop up rookie running back Trey Benson or second-year back Emari Demercado in anticipation of the veteran missing time. Both athletes split snaps pretty evenly in Conner's stead in Week 9's victory. The Cardinals get a tough matchup against a stout New York Jets front seven on Sunday in Week 10.
