John Brown, Michael Floyd, Drew Stanton's Post-Week 12 Fantasy Reaction

A quick summary of the Arizona Cardinals fantasy value, told in the form of a years-old Internet meme that people haven't used since like 2011: DO NOT WANT.

The Cardinals left owners feeling despondent everywhere, watching helplessly as futile attempts at matriculating the ball downfield against the Seattle Seahawks piled up. Arizona accounted for just 204 total yards in the 19-3 loss, with the Seahawks holding possession for more than 35 minutes.

Drew Stanton, in his second start since Carson Palmer's season-ending ACL tear, threw for 149 yards and had an interception on his 26 attempts. John Brown led the way with 61 yards on his three receptions, using Larry Fitzgerald's absence to step into a more prominent role. Fitzgerald missed Week 12 with a knee injury, snapping a streak of 110 straight games played.   

Placed in the Expected to Step Up But Did Not category I just created out of thin air is Michael Floyd, who finished without a catch and was targeted only twice. Floyd caught two touchdowns last week and was good earlier this season when Stanton spelled Palmer.

Michael Floyd	0	0	0.0	0	2

While playing Seattle at home is a difficult matchup, this could be the beginning of the end for the Arizona passing game's relevance. Stanton was OK earlier this season, but he was inefficient on the day.

There is a distinct possibility that Stanton will struggle down the stretch and take everyone with him. He was completing less than 50 percent of his passes before Palmer's return from his shoulder injury and doesn't have a sterling record of NFL success.

Of the Arizona receivers, Fitzgerald is probably the only one worth owning down the stretch. Brown might be an interesting flier given his recent uptick in production, but he tops out as a lowish-end flex play. Floyd can safely be dropped in nearly every format.
