Larry Fitzgerald, Michael Floyd, Drew Stanton's Post-Week 11 Fantasy Reaction

Tim KeeneyNov 16, 2014

Oh, so that's where Michael Floyd has been these past several weeks: developing a rapport with Drew Stanton.

The third-year wide receiverlikely while sitting on everyone's benchdid his best reappearing act Sunday against the Detroit Lions, hauling in two touchdowns from Stanton to help the Arizona Cardinals to a 14-6 win.

Both scores actually came in the first quarter, but there wasn't much production from Floyd or fellow wideout Larry Fitzgerald the rest of the way:

ESPN's Josh Weinfuss noted the immense and sudden turnaround for the once popular breakout candidate:

While Stanton is still outside of the QB1 conversation and just a streaming optionalbeit a high-upside one due to the amount of weapons in this offensehe is proving to serve as a very minuscule drop-off from Carson Palmer.

That's key for Floyd and Larry Fitzgerald's fantasy prospects.

The former is still relatively touchdown dependent, which is typically risky in fantasy circles, and as ESPN Stats & Info noted, he wasn't particularly effective during Stanton's stint earlier this season:

Moreover, as Pro Football Focus' Mike Clay pointed out, his final three quarters of nothing on Sunday weren't exactly encouraging:

Still, he's talented, and he's a big, strong target in the red zone. If he was dropped in your league, he should be picked back up for his upside in the fantasy playoffs.   

Fitzgerald, meanwhile, struggled to make an impact, as he left with a knee injury and later returned. Nevertheless, he has done enough as of late to remain a solid WR3.
