Arizona Cardinals

Michael Floyd/ John Brown/ Larry Fitzgerald (Wide Receiver): Floyd was barley a factor as he was returning from a hamstring injury. Floyd only registered 1 catch for 14 yards. Brown and Fitzgerald were more prominently featured in the offense. Brown hauled in 5 out of 7 catches for 99 yards while Fitzgerald caught 10 of his 14 targets for 66.

David Johnson (Running Back): Johnson came in after Chris Johnson and Andre Ellington were both injured. Johnson will now lead the backfield until one or both can return. Johnson did not rush for a ton of yardage as he only had 8 carries for 21 yards and a touchdown. He also usually is a bigger threat in the passing game however today he was relatively quiet in that department only hauling in 2 of his 4 targets for 8 yards.

Carson Palmer (Quarterback): Palmer had a surprisingly quiet game. It was assumed the Cardinals would blow out the 49ers in convincing fashion but that just never got around to happening. Palmer completed 24 of 40 passing attempts for 271 yards and added a 7 yard rushing touchdown for fantasy owners.

San Francisco 49ers

Shaun Draughn (Running Back): Draughn was a solid flex play as he had some positive production against one of the best defenses in the league. Draughn finished the game with 15 rushing attempts that gained 51 yards; he also caught all 5 of his targets for 35 yards.

Anquan Boldin (Wide Receivers): Boldin had a surprising game considering everyone assumed this would be a blow out. He finished his day racking up 93 yards on 8 receptions. Boldin has becoming a more reliable player with Gabbert under center.
