Arizona Cardinals Defense Not Worth The Start In Week 15

Arizona Cardinals Defense Not Worth The Start In Week 15

11 months ago

The Arizona Cardinals will face off against the San Francisco 49ers in Week 15. Fresh off their Week 14 bye, the Cardinals have a brutal matchup. While it is possible that the bye allowed their defense to become well-rested, they are set to face off against Brock Purdy and the 49er offense, one of the best in the league. Purdy is also one of the best at the deep pass and leads the NFL by a wide margin in YPA with 9.9. Comparatively, the Cardinals are allowing the second-most EPA/pass and the eighth-most schedule-adjusted fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. This doesn't include figuring out a way to stop the other San Francisco offensive weapons, including running back Christian McCaffrey. As a unit ranked 30th overall, the Arizona defense is best avoided in Week 15.
