Another setback
The Arizona Cardinals dropped to 3-6 with a 17-3 loss to the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field in Week 9. Arizona heads into its matchup with the Los Angeles Rams having alternated wins and losses over its past four games. The Cardinals have scored 178 points and allowed 255 this season, leaving them with a minus-77 point differential. Their three-point output in Seattle followed a 33-30 win at Dallas in Week 8—a sharp drop in scoring from one game to the next.
Recent wins have been narrow
Arizona's two victories over the past four games came by a combined five points: 18-16 at the Rams in Week 6 and 33-30 at the Cowboys in Week 8. Its losses in that stretch were both by 14 points, with a 30-16 home defeat against Denver preceding the setback in Seattle. That run leaves the Cardinals with two recent examples of winning close games, but no sustained momentum entering Week 10.
McBride leads the fantasy production
Tight end Trey McBride tops Arizona's season fantasy totals with 162.8 PPR points, ahead of wide receiver Michael Wilson at 120.7. Quarterback Jacoby Brissett has 111.2, running back Tyler Allgeier has 90.7 and kicker Chad Ryland has 83.0. McBride and Wilson also led Arizona's Week 9 fantasy production with 12.4 and 12.0 PPR points, respectively, despite the team's low scoring total. Quarterback Gardner Minshew finished with 7.0, followed by Allgeier at 6.6 and wide receiver Reggie Virgil at 3.5. McBride and Wilson remain the leading names in Arizona's fantasy picture: they rank first and second in season PPR scoring and held those same spots in Week 9.
Rams rematch next
The Cardinals host the Rams at State Farm Stadium in Week 10 on Sunday, Nov. 15, at 4:05 p.m. ET. Arizona won the first meeting 18-16 on the road in Week 6; the rematch gives the Cardinals a chance to rebound against a team they have already beaten.
