Arizona Cardinals Defense Not Worth Starting In Week 4

Arizona Cardinals Defense Not Worth Starting In Week 4

one year ago

The Arizona Cardinals' defense will have their work cut out for them in Week 4 as they travel to face the San Francisco 49ers. The Cardinals currently boast the league's 21st-rated passing defense and have allowed four players to catch a touchdown against them in the first three games. With star safety Budda Baker still currently on IR, there is even more pressure on the Cardinals to stop the San Francisco passing attack. In addition to stopping the pass, the Cardinals rank slightly below average (18th) against the run, and will need to bottle up Pro Bowler Christian McCaffrey to keep the game close. The 49ers offense is at or near the top in many statistical categories, and as such the Cardinal defense remains too risky of a unit to trust. There are better fantasy options for Week 4.
