Arizona Cardinals Defense Not Playable In Week 17

Arizona Cardinals Defense Not Playable In Week 17

11 months ago

As the Arizona Cardinals defense prepares to face the Philadelphia Eagles in a crucial Week 17 matchup, fantasy managers should approach this cautiously. The Cardinals' defensive unit, with only 33 sacks on the season, ranks among the lower echelons of the league in terms of quarterback pressure. Their pass defense stands at a mediocre 16th, while their run defense languishes at the 29th position, hinting at vulnerability against the rush. The Eagles, with the seventh-highest points scored in the league, pose a formidable offensive challenge. Furthermore, D'Andre Swift and the Eagles' potent run game could exploit the Cardinals' run defense weaknesses. Fantasy managers relying on the Cardinals' defense should explore alternative options for Week 17, given their potential challenges against a dynamic Eagles offense. As such, the Arizona defense shouldn't be a viable starting option in fantasy championships.
