Denver VS Arizona Fantasy

Start:

Royce Freeman

The Broncos have yet to use the stud running back properly this season. This is the week they need to give Freeman the ball 15+ times. The Cardinals rank 31st in the league in run defense and have given up a league high ten touchdowns. Lindsay should get his touches as well but Freeman is the bruising back that should run through the Arizona defense. Projections- 110 yards, one touchdown.

David Johnson

The Cardinals are 31st in the league in rushing, you know who is 32nd? That’s right the Broncos. After giving up back-to-back 200 yard rushers, running backs are salivating at the chance to go against the Broncos. While Mike McCoy hasn’t used Johnson the correct way he is still one of the most talented backs in the league. While Johnson hopefully won’t rush for 200 yards he should see a good production. Projections- 115 yards, one touchdown.

Christian Kirk

Larry Fitzgerald is one of the very best receivers to ever play this game, but he hasn’t been involved much this season. He still will likely see a lot of attention from the defense, but Josh Rosen has found a favorite target in Kirk. Three of the last four weeks Kirk has led the team in yards, receptions, and routes run (According to ESPN). If he sees a lot of attention from Chris Harris Jr expect stats to be tempered but if not kirk could have a good game. Projections- 75 yards, one touchdown.
