Michael Floyd, Larry Fitzgerald, John Brown's Post-Week 7 Fantasy Reaction

It's good to have Carson Palmer healthy again.   

In his second game back from an early-season nerve injury in his throwing shoulder, the veteran quarterback continued to boost the fantasy stock of Michael Floyd, while Larry Fitzgerald and John Brown didn't benefit nearly as much.

Here's a look how each performed during Sunday's contest against the Oakland Raiders:

Player	Tar	Rec	Yds	Avg	TD	Fan Points
Michael Floyd	3	3	47	15.7	1	10.7
Larry Fitzgerald	5	4	21	5.3	0	2.1
John Brown	5	2	41	20.5	0	4.1

The numbers are mostly underwhelming, but it's obvious Palmer is capable of moving the ball far more efficiently than Drew Stanton or Logan Thomas. Moreover, he won't always spread the ball to nine different receivers, and Stepfan Taylor won't always poach a pair of touchdowns.

As long as Palmer stays healthy, better days are ahead for his three starting wide receivers.

Floyd has had a slightly up-and-down season, but he now has at least 10 fantasy points in each of the three games Palmer has started. Considering his talent, he is a legitimate WR2 with WR1 upside.

Darren Urban of AZCardinals.com offered immense praise, comparing Floyd to his future Hall of Famer teammate:

Fitzgerald and Brown are a little more difficult to trust. Fitz is more of a chain-mover and possession receiver at this point in his career, but you still have to view him as a WR3 or solid flex option, especially in PPR leagues. Brown, meanwhile, is a definite gamble on a weekly basis, albeit one with high upside because of his big-play ability. Of his five targets Friday, four were deep down the field.

Ultimately, as long as Palmer is under center, the fantasy arrow is pointing up for all three players.
