Arizona Cardinals
Michael Floyd/John Brown/ Larry Fitzgerald (Wide Receivers): Floyd is the hot receiver right now in Arizona but he still has to compete with Brown and Fitzgerald for targets. Floyd is guaranteed to see around 5 to 8 targets a game depending on the coverage. The Browns have allowed the 11th fewest fantasy points to wide receivers so this may be a tough matchup for the Cardinals wide receivers. Brown will see around 6 to 10+ targets a game while Fitzgerald will have around 5 to 10.
Chris Johnson/David Johnson/Andre Ellington (Running Back): Chris Johnson had a monster game last week and Cleveland has given up the most points to running backs this season. Even so this backfield is a committee and with this game likely to get out of hand, the Cardinals could end up giving Ellington and David Johnson a lot of extra playing time. David Johnson is already receiving the goal line work and Ellington showed a lot of burst last week.
Carson Palmer (Quarterback): Palmer is one of the top fantasy quarterbacks in the league, it is likely he will bring another solid day of fantasy production. The Browns have been pretty good against quarterbacks but still Palmer has too many weapons to not succeed against them.
Cleveland Browns
Travis Benjamin (Wide Receiver): Benjamin is the clear cut Browns number 1 wide receiver however this means he will be shadowed by Patrick Peterson. Do not start wide receivers against the Cardinals; Steve Smith SR was the perfect example of that in week 7.
Gary Barnidge (Tight End): Arizona has given up the fewest points to tight ends in the entire league, the Cardinals secondary has put the Legion of Boom to shame this year. Barnidge gets a lot of targets but he should hit a wall against the Cardinals.
Duke Johnson (Running Back): Once again it is Arizona however I believe Johnson could be the highest scoring Browns player based off of the fact that he can catch as a running back. With the Cardinals secondary all over their tight ends and wide receivers, the ball has to go somewhere.
