Oof. A would-be touchdown clanked off his hands in the end zone as well. McMillan in theory is poised to have a big role going forward due to Chris Godwin’s certain absence and Mike Evans’ likely absence. He has five catches in five active games despite 15 targets. The volume is projectable and intriguing, but it’s not like he’s been scorching defenses in this small sample.

Quarterback Kyler Murray attempted only 26 passes in a game the Cardinals controlled with their defense and ground game, playing with a lead from five minutes left in the second quarter until the two-minute warning. A last-second field goal would eventually send the team to 3-4, just one game back of the division-leading Seahawks. Up next for Wilson and the Cardinals is a Dolphins team expecting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa back from his most recent concussion.

Dortch got the Cardinals on the board with a touchdown in the second quarter, taking a lead they would not surrender until under two minutes remaining to play in the fourth quarter. An eventual last-second field goal would send the Cardinals to 3-4, just one game back of the division-leading Seahawks as the midway point of the season approaches. Dortch does not see enough time on the field to be counted on in fantasy formats of all sizes.

Harrison Jr. has all the talent in the world but continues to be restricted by his offensive coordinator, with a pass game design that fails in providing an environment conducive to upside-generating routes for the primary pass-catchers. Considering his lone eruption game this season came with quarterback Kyler Murray making plays happen out of structure, we could be continuing to share in Harrison Jr.'s visible frustration for as long as Drew Petzing is calling plays in the desert. Up next for Harrison Jr. and the Cardinals is a Dolphins team expecting to get quarterback Tua Tagovailoa back from his most recent concussion in Week 8.

McBride led the team in targets but was out-gained by running back James Conner. While the third-year tight end continues to display elite athleticism on a weekly basis, offensive coordinator Drew Petzing’s pass offense remains unimaginative and flat, most notably constraining McBride to low upside routes over the middle of the field and to the sideline. Until that changes, McBride unfortunately feels restricted to low end TE1 production.

Down 34-10 as the fourth quarter started, Otton was the hot hand against Baltimore’s prevent defense, racking up eight targets and 83 yards and getting punished heavily by Ravens defenders for the privilege. Otton would seem to be a real beneficiary of Chris Godwin’s absence going forward, and could make for an interesting waiver wire target now in our TE-starved timeline.

The only thing Conner failed to do in this one was find paint after functioning as the primary point of emphasis for a Cardinals team that pulled off the upset at home. Most notably, a timely fumble recovery after a 41-yard reception from Jalen Reagor at the three yard line allowed the Cardinals to control the flow of the game on the ground, keeping the ball away from the elite run offense of the Chargers in the process. Conner continues to see reliable volume for a Cardinals team suddenly just one game back for the division lead.

He was the clear third banana as he took an early-downs only share and the Buccaneers spent most of the game trailing. That doesn’t mean he can’t have fantasy value going forward, but it is hard to predict that a big game is coming next week against the Falcons without some affirmative words from the coaching staff about his role.

In what seemed like a reenactment of his celebration at the 40 yard line on a long touchdown run a few weeks back, Murray broke free off the edge in the second half and took a 44-yard run to the house, holding the football up to the crowd at the 30 yard line on his way to the end zone. Murray and the Cardinals struggled to get much going through the air against the stout and zone-heavy Chargers defense, making up for the lack of aerial production with 181 total yards on the ground. The Cardinals improve to 3-4 and played their way into contention in the tight NFC West, looking to further their playoff chances nearing the midpoint of the season in a Week 8 matchup with a Dolphins team expecting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa back from his third concussion.

Irving got two of three Tampa Bay goal line carries, if you want to read into that. He did play in the two-minute drill, and he seems well trusted. The touchdown bailed out the fact that he was second place in a three-back race. Irving will be a hard-to-trust FLEX play against the Falcons in Week 8.

Reagor snuck free behind the Arizona defense in the first quarter for a 41-yard gain down the left hash but was chased down from behind and lost a fumble at the Arizona three yard line. That play would set the tone of the game for both teams, with the Cardinals holding the Chargers out of the end zone and forcing five field goals. Reagor remains a fantasy long shot moving forward.
