Wide Receiver Rank: #5 Overall: #22
Despite getting terrible quarterback play most of the season, Fitzgerald had a pretty typical season for his standards. He had at least 90 receptions once again and topped 1,000 yards for the fourth straight season. His six touchdowns tied a career low, but his reception and yardage totals were near normal levels for Fitz. He had three 100-yard games and was targeted double-digit times all but four games. He is the clear No. 1 receiver in the Cardinals offense. In his last four seasons, Fitzgerald averages 96 receptions for 1,267 yards and 10 touchdowns. Fitzgerald doesn't have elite speed, but runs great routes and has plus hands. He is as athletic as any receiver in the game and remains in the prime of his career at age 28 (turns shortly before season). The Cardinals offense has to be better than last season, which should help the production of Fitzgerald.

Fitzgerald is an elite fantasy receiver. His quarterback situation remains somewhat of a concern, but he proved last season he can still produce despite poor quarterback play. You can pencil in Fitz for 90-plus receptions, 1,000-plus yards and double-digit touchdowns. He is a top-10 fantasy option. If he still had Kurt Warner throwing him passes, he might be the first receiver taken come draft day. |

| Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald gave credit to the coaching staff in the team's Week 14 game against the San Francisco 49ers for moving him around in the formations and allowing him to run routes out of the slot. 'When you move me inside it makes it a little difficult to identify where I'm going to be and I can see where the doubles are going to come from,' Fitzgerald said. 'Also, John (Skelton) can see where the doubles are, so we can find the matchups.' |
