Tip Reiman Tip Reiman Returns to practice
Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 6:57 PM
Reiman (foot) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Reiman sat out in Week 2 versus the Panthers due to a foot injury, but he took a big step in the right direction to start the Cardinals' new week of practice. If he's able to log a full practice Thursday or Friday, he could potentially avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game at San Francisco. |

Elijah Higgins Elijah Higgins Records two catches in win
Wed, Sep 17, 2025, 4:52 AM
Higgins caught two of three targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Higgins played 22 of the Cardinals' 55 offensive snaps Sunday, behind starter Trey McBride (50) and ahead of Travis Vokolek (18). Barring an injury to McBride, the 24-year-old tight end remains far off the fantasy radar due to his limited playing time. The Cardinals are set to visit the 49ers in Week 3. |

Zay Jones Zay Jones Not involved against Panthers
Tue, Sep 16, 2025, 11:22 PM
Jones failed to record a single target in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Jones was a complete non-factor against Carolina despite playing 51 percent of the Cardinals' offensive snaps in the contest. With Arizona's aerial attack mostly going through Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison, Jones has been left with little to no action while competing for leftover targets with fellow wideouts Michael Wilson and Greg Dortch. Nonethless, the 30-year-old veteran will have his next opportunity to be involved in a Week 3 matchup against the 49ers. |

Michael Wilson Michael Wilson Hits pay dirt in win
Tue, Sep 16, 2025, 10:00 PM
Wilson caught one of two targets for 11 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: Wilson caught just one pass for a second-straight week, though his reception in Week 2 counted for his first score of the season. The third-year wideout played 38 of the Cardinals' 55 offensive snaps in the contest, behind only Marvin Harrison (51). Wilson is operating as Arizona's No. 2 wide receiver, but his lack of consistent usage makes him difficult to trust for fantasy purposes. The 25-year old will look to take a step forward in Week 3 when the Cardinals visit the 49ers in Week 3. |

Trey Benson Trey Benson Gets work as receiver Sunday
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 11:22 PM
Benson rushed three times for 14 yards while catching four of six targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over Carolina.
Analysis: Benson fell back to No. 2 in the RB pecking order Sunday after leading the team in rushing with 69 yards in Week 1. The Florida State product finished with eight fewer carries than starter James Conner (11-34-1), with the former making the bigger impact on the passing game. Conner is still the lead back and preferred fantasy option in Arizona, but Benson has carved out a nice role earning 5-10 touches heading into next Sunday's tilt versus the 49ers. |

Marvin Harrison Marvin Harrison Inefficient on five targets Sunday
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 10:07 PM
Harrison had two receptions on five targets for 27 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: Harrison's production crashed in Week 2 following last week's team high receiving line of 5-71-1 against the Saints. The 23-year-old took a back seat to TE Trey McBride (6-78-0) while fellow wideout Michael Wilson caught QB Kyler Murray's lone touchdown pass Sunday. Harrison experienced his fair share of ups-and-downs over his rookie campaign in 2024, and we may not see much consistency from him as a sophomore based on this two-game sample size. Managers will be hoping for one of Harrison's "up" games in road tilt against San Francisco next Sunday. |

Kyler Murray Kyler Murray Gets win despite mixed results
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 9:39 PM
Murray completed 17 of 25 pass attempts for 220 yards, one touchdown and one interception while rushing seven times for 32 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: It was a tale of two halves for Murray, who had his team up comfortably going into the break, but was barely clinging onto victory when time expired. An untimely interception to end a 70-yard drive in the fourth quarter played a huge role in letting Carolina back into this contest. It was Murray's first interception of the season to go along with his three passing touchdowns and 70 rushing yards through two starts in 2025. The dual-threat QB is shaping up to be a high-floor, low-ceiling fantasy option in a road matchup against a tough 49ers defense next Sunday. |

James Conner James Conner Reestablishes himself as lead back
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 8:14 PM
Conner took 11 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown while bringing in his only target for 18 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over Carolina.
Analysis: Conner reestablished himself as Arizona's lead back Sunday after Trey Benson led the team in rushing in Week 1. The latter received just three carries with most of his work coming in the passing game, while Conner handled a team-high 11 carries and hit pay dirt for the second time in as many weeks. Both talented backs figure remain involved moving forward, but fantasy managers have to be relieved seeing the workload distribution tip back in Conner's favor. The Cardinals' next matchup comes against the 49ers next Sunday in a battle of 2-0 NFC West squads. |

Trey McBride Trey McBride Leading receiver on seven targets
Sun, Sep 14, 2025, 7:44 PM
McBride corralled six of seven targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 27-22 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: McBride finished as the Cardinals' leading receiver after ceding that honor to WR Marvin Harrison in Week 1. The 25-year-old McBride has racked up six receptions in each of his two starts so far, putting him on pace for another 100-plus reception season following last year's breakout 111-catch campaign. McBride's allergy to the end zone (career high of three TDs in 2023) is what holds him back from breaking the fantasy stratosphere. The Colorado State product is still a PPR monster and a TE1 play against the 49ers next Sunday. |

Josiah Deguara Josiah Deguara Joins active roster
Sat, Sep 13, 2025, 4:20 PM
Deguara was elevated from the Cardinals' practice squad to the active roster Saturday.
Analysis: Deguara signed with Arizona's practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August, but he's now set to join the active roster ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. The Cincinnati product will provide the Cardinals with additional tight end depth with Tip Reiman (foot) sidelined in Week 2. |

Tip Reiman Tip Reiman Won't play Week 2
Fri, Sep 12, 2025, 12:31 PM
Reiman (foot) won't play Sunday against the Panthers, Cardinals coach Jonathan Gannon said Friday, Bo Brack of PHNX Sports reports.
Analysis: Reiman will sit out Week 2 due to the injury he suffered in the season-opening win over the Saints. Elijah Higgins is likely to be the primary beneficiary of Reiman's absence. Reiman had a 52 percent Week 1 snap share compared to Higgins' 30 percent mark, with both lagging significantly behind star starter Trey McBride's 97 percent. |

Tip Reiman Tip Reiman Another DNP on Thursday
Thu, Sep 11, 2025, 4:14 PM
Reiman (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Zach Gershman of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Analysis: Reiman's remains sidelined from on-field work due to the foot injury that he suffered in a Week 1 win in New Orleans. He likely will need to log at least some work Friday in order to give him a chance to be available Sunday against the Panthers. Trey McBride is the unquestioned top tight end on the Cardinals, but considering the team trots out 12 personnel often, Elijah Higgins, Travis Vokolek and potentially practice-squad member Josiah Deguara would be candidates for elevated roles if Reiman sits out this weekend. |

Elijah Higgins Elijah Higgins Makes one catch in Week 1
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 8:28 PM
Higgins corralled one of two targets for three yards and had a tackle on punt coverage during Sunday's 20-13 victory in New Orleans.
Analysis: Higgins was third among Cardinals tight ends in offensive snap share (30 percent) behind standout Trey McBride (97 percent) and Tip Reiman (52 percent). All three recorded receptions, with McBride making six and Reiman and Higgins notching one apiece. Reiman showed up as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice report due to a foot injury, which, if it limits or sidelines him, may afford Higgins a few more opportunities to produce. |

Greg Dortch Greg Dortch Contributes mostly on special teams
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 8:21 PM
Dortch hauled in his only target for minus-2 yards, returned three punts for 30 yards, had two kick returns for 44 yards and recorded a tackle on punt coverage during Sunday's 20-13 victory at New Orleans.
Analysis: Dortch was busy on his limited snap count (10 on offense, nine on special teams), but his offensive snap share (15 percent) was a distant fourth among Cardinals wide receivers behind Marvin Harrison (89 percent), Michael Wilson (67 percent) and Zay Jones (47 percent). Most of Dortch's weekly contributions in 2025 are expected to come outside the offense as long as the aforementioned trio are healthy and available. |

Zay Jones Zay Jones One target in Week 1
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 8:15 PM
Jones caught his only target for four yards during Sunday's 20-13 win in New Orleans.
Analysis: Jones ranked third among Cardinals wide receivers in offensive snap share with 47 percent behind Marvin Harrison (89 percent) and Michael Wilson (67 percent). Unsurprisingly, Harrison led the way with 5-71-1 on six targets, while Jones nearly matched Wilson's 1-5-0 line (on four targets). In an offense dominated by TE Trey McBride, Harrison and RB James Conner when it comes to looks from QB Kyler Murray, Jones is merely provided with scraps with which to produce. |

Michael Wilson Michael Wilson Manages one catch in Week 1
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 8:07 PM
Wilson gathered in one of four targets for five yards during Sunday's 20-13 win at New Orleans.
Analysis: Wilson was on the field for 44 of 66 offensive snaps (67 percent), but his 26 routes run yielded little, while top wide receiver Marvin Harrison's 32 routes resulted in a 5-71-1 line on six targets on an 89 percent snap share. At the same time, No. 3 WR Zay Jones (1-4-0) nearly matched Wilson's output on one target and a 47 percent share of plays. The Cardinals consolidate most of the targets among TE Trey McBride (nine on Sunday), Harrison and RB James Conner (four), so Wilson has his work cut out for him to produce weekly. |

Tip Reiman Tip Reiman Dealing with foot injury
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 3:58 PM
Reiman didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury that he sustained early on during this past Sunday's win at New Orleans, Theo Mackie of The Arizona Republic reports.
Analysis: Reiman handled 34 of 66 offensive snaps (52 percent) Week 1, which ranked behind top TE Trey McBride (97 percent) and ahead of fellow reserve Elijah Higgins (30 percent). While starting off this week with a DNP is cause for concern, Reiman also may be operating under a maintenance program for the health concern. In the end, his status may gain some clarity by week's end ahead of Sunday's game against the Panthers. |

Simi Fehoko Simi Fehoko Joins active roster
Wed, Sep 10, 2025, 12:49 PM
Fehoko was signed to the Cardinals' active roster Wednesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The 2021 fifth-round pick joined the Cardinals' practice squad after failing to make the initial 53-man roster in late August. However, with the injury to key special-teamer Joey Blount (neck/concussion), Fehoko has been added to the active roster. The Stanford product is expected to contribute on special teams and as a depth piece in Arizona's wide receiver corps as the season continues. |

Trey Benson Trey Benson Leading rusher in Week 1 win
Sun, Sep 7, 2025, 5:19 PM
Benson carried the ball eight times for 69 yards and caught his only target for six yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Saints.
Analysis: The second-year back led Arizona in rushing thanks to a 52-yard scamper around right end on the team's first drive of the second half. James Conner saw 12 carries but gained only 39 yards, with his longest run going for 12, and the split both of touches and of production bodes well for Benson as the season moves forward. He'll look to continue carving out a significant role in the offense at home Week 2 against the Panthers. |

James Conner James Conner Salvages day with TD
Sun, Sep 7, 2025, 5:16 PM
Conner carried the ball 12 times for 39 yards and caught all four of his targets for five yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Saints.
Analysis: The veteran was bottled up at the line of scrimmage and watched second-year back Trey Benson break off a 52-yard gain to help him lead the Cardinals in rushing on the day, but Conner was able to make an impact with a four-yard TD catch on an underhand flip from Kyler Murray in the second quarter. Benson was expected to cut into Conner's workload as the 2025 season progressed, but the split could tip even further in the youngster's favor based on the duo's Week 1 performances. Conner will look to reinforce his claim to the RB1 role at home Week 2 against the Panthers. |
