The Cardinals’ wide receiver room is in a major state of flux heading into Week 7. Amid chaos, opportunities can present themselves for others to step into new roles.
The crux of the chaos is how the team will fill the gaping void left by star wideout Marquise Brown. The 2019 first-round pick has been the Cardinals’ top wideout since joining the team via an in-draft trade from the Ravens this April. Brown is coming off of a banner season for Baltimore in which he caught 91 of 146 targets for 1,008 yards and six touchdowns, finishing as the WR22 in half-PPR scoring.
Brown was on-pace for an even stronger season this year, tallying 38 catches for 417 yards and three touchdowns. He is out indefinitely with a foot injury he suffered in Week 6 and is expected to miss six weeks, or the vast majority of the fantasy regular season.'
