Carson Palmer, Michael Floyd, Larry Fitzgerald Post-Week 14 Fantasy Advice

Mike NorrisDec 10, 2015

It was another good night through the air for the Arizona Cardinals against the Minnesota Vikings on Thursday.

Quarterback Carson Palmer had a strong game for the highest-scoring offense in the NFL, which helped out fantasy owners.

It might not have been his best effort of the season, but it should be considered a good performance any time a quarterback can throw for 300 yards with multiple touchdowns and no interceptions.

Palmer, who broke Kurt Warner's single-season passing touchdown record in the game with his 31st score, per ESPN Stats & Info, is now tied with New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady for the most touchdowns in the NFL this season.   

His performance came against a 15th-ranked Minnesota Vikings defense in terms of passing yards allowed. His Week 15 matchup is even better, as the Philadelphia Eagles are ranked 26th against the pass heading into Week 14.

One of the beneficiaries of Palmer's good game was wide receiver Michael Floyd.

While fantasy owners should be happy Floyd scored for the first time in three games, they should be more excited for the enticing matchup he has against the Eagles.

Per ESPN.com, Philadelphia allows the most fantasy points to wide receivers at 27.1 per game. Floyd's had at least eight targets four of the past five games, and there is no reason to think Palmer won't look his way at least 10 to 12 times.

Consider Floyd a low-end WR1, and feel confident about a strong performance in Week 15.

The same should be said for Floyd's teammate Larry Fitzgerald.

Despite a down game for Fitzgerald, consider him a strong WR1 against the hapless Eagles secondary. He has nearly 130 targets this season and had double-digit targets five straight games until the Vikings game.

The 32-year-old has probably lost a step from his younger days, but he still has 96 receptions and seven touchdowns this year. 

Plug him into your Week 15 lineup with confidence, and expect 100 yards and at least one touchdown.
