What's At Stake?

While games like this don't get a lot of attention on the national stage, they are very important to the players and coaches involved.

Arizona's front office wants to see exactly what they have in Kevin Kolb, who is dealing with a foot injury, and John Skelton. The Cardinals will also be taking a long look at secondary receivers like Early Doucet and Andre Roberts to see if they can develop into a legitimate option opposite Larry Fitzgerald.

For St. Louis, the biggest questions surround Sam Bradford. The second-year quarterback has more turnovers than touchdowns in his young career. The Rams have to figure out how much of that is his fault and how much is a lack of weapons to utilize.

Cardinals Injury Report

DT Dan Williams (out, arm), DB Kerry Rhodes (doubtful, foot), QB Kevin Kolb (questionable, foot), TE Todd Heap (questionable, hamstring) and LB Joey Porter (questionable, knee)

Rams Injury Report

TE Lance Kendricks (questionable, concussion), LB James Laurinaitis (questionable, foot), WR Danario Alexander (questionable, hamstring) and RB Cadillac Williams (questionable, calf)

Fantasy Start 'Em, Sit 'Em and Sleeper

Start 'Em: WR Larry Fitzgerald (ARZ)—Fitzgerald is quietly putting together another solid season despite continued turmoil at the quarterback position. He has scored at least 10 fantasy points in three straight weeks and should remain in all lineups vs. St. Louis.

Sit 'Em: QB Sam Bradford (STL)—After being a popular sleeper selection in drafts, Bradford has been a useless fantasy player. He's only scored more than seven points once and there's no reason any owners should risk using him this week or moving forward in 2011.

Sleeper: WR Early Doucet (ARZ)—Doucet caught six passes for 78 yards when these teams faced off in Week 9, which makes him an intriguing flex option. The Rams rank 28th against opposing fantasy wideouts.

What They're Saying

Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic takes a look at the Cardinals' running woes and how they have a ripple affect throughout the team. Beanie Wells hasn't been able to maintain his early season success and there isn't a reliable option behind him.

"

Wells' injury isn't likely to get better without full time off, and that's something the Cardinals can't afford. Especially because they don't have Ryan Williams, the second-round draft pick who suffered torn knee ligaments in the preseason.

And be it Kolb or Skelton at quarterback, teams will continue to stack the line and dare the Cardinals to throw.

"

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch's Bernie Miklasz plays “Monday morning backup QB” and talks about Josh McDaniels' failures as offensive coordinator. He was expected to revolutionize the Rams offense, but the results have left a lot to be desired.

"

Still, there's no excuse for the Rams to be so inept and and weak on offense. And I thought that McDaniels reached a new low Sunday in the soul-deadening 24-7 loss to Seattle. The Rams' approach on offense made no sense. It was delusional, bordering on irresponsible.

Cardinals Player to Watch: CB Patrick Peterson

Peterson was the fifth pick in April's draft and has stepped right into Arizona's starting lineup. He's gone through growing pains, like almost every rookie does, but for the most part has played well as Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie's replacement.

Rams Player to Watch: RB Steven Jackson

Jackson continues to be St. Louis' most exciting player. He's gaining nearly five yards per carry and has scored five total touchdowns. If he's able to get 20 or more touches on Sunday, the Rams' chances of winning increase dramatically.

Key Matchup: Rams DBs Justin King and Josh Gordy vs. Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald

Simply put, Fitzgerald should dominate. Nobody in the St. Louis secondary has the size or ability to guard one of the game's elite athletes. They'll attempt to shade coverages in his direction to neutralize the threat, but whoever starts at QB for Arizona should throw it up and let Fitzgerald make plays.

On the Hot Seat: Rams head coach Steve Spagnuolo

Spagnuolo is in his third season with the Rams and has yet to guide the team to a winning record. His job might not be in immediate danger, but the seat is definitely starting to heat up. Being a head coach in the dog-eat-dog world of NFL football doesn't leave much time for improvement.

Prediction

Rams 24, Cardinals 23
