Notes
The Arizona Cardinals are unhappy with the lapses in concentration that WR Michael Floyd has shown this season and demoted him to the fourth wide receiver in Week 11 because of several focus issues during the game. Floyd is still expected to receive a good amount of playing time with the season winding down.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said Sunday, Nov. 18, that WR Michael Floyd was benched in the Week 11 game against the Atlanta Falcons when he did not line up correctly.
Fantasy Impact: Well, that was quick. Floyd was supposed to start playing a bigger role in the offense, but it seems the coaches are going to have a short leash with him.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said WR Michael Floyd has earned more playing time in the second half of the season. Floyd has played just over 60 percent of the offensive plays in the team's last two contests compared to around 40 or 45 percent the rest of the season. Floyd was targeted 18 times in the first seven games (eight catches) and has been thrown to 18 times in the last two games alone (10 catches).

Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said WR Michael Floyd will continue to receive more reps on offense moving forward.
Fantasy Impact: Early Doucet is really struggling so this makes sense to get the rookie involved.

Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Floyd, a Minnesota native, is excited to be headed home for the team's Week 7 game against the Minnesota Vikings. He has played in the Metrodome before, but only for high school games. 'Just the environment, it will be different because of the noise,' Floyd said. 'It's the NFL. Plus you've got some hometown kids. The crowd will want the hometown team to win, but I've got a lot of fans up there. It'll be a good time.'

Arizona Cardinals QB Michael Floyd had just one catch for eight yards in Week 3 against the Philadelphia Eagles for his first NFL catch and touchdown.
Fantasy Impact: It was good to see Floyd get in the end zone. He could be getting a few more chances going forward.

Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Floyd remains behind WRs Andre Roberts and Early Doucet on the depth chart, and he has played with the reserves through two preseason games. The complementary role should help Floyd ease into the league, according to WR Larry Fitzgerald. 'Michael has a unique opportunity,' Fitzgerald said. 'He's not going to be asked to carry the full load. He'll have a nice complementary role until he gets comfortable in there and he can get featured more and more. He's confident in his ability, and that's what I really like about him.'
Fantasy Impact: Floyd might have a hard time getting a ton of playing time his rookie season. At this point, he might not even be worth a draft pick.
Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald has been helping WR Michael Floyd throughout the offseason and training camp to help him adapt to pro life and be an instant contributor to the offense. 'One of the things you really like about Larry, and where he's grown tremendously over the years, is his leadership ability with the younger players,' head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. 'He recognizes that Michael Floyd is a young talent, he can help our team and (Larry's) working hard to make sure that Michael understands what he needs to be a good player and make a contribution for us in his first year.'
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Floyd is behind WRs Andre Roberts and Early Doucet at one of the wide receiver spots on the first depth chart.
Fantasy Impact: Floyd still has plenty of time to move up the depth chart.
Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Floyd is reportedly not in great shape, which explains why he currently is projected as the team's No. 4 wide receiver. There are also some early questions about his quickness and work ethic.
Fantasy Impact: Not a great start for Floyd. He has plenty of time to turn it around, though. The talent is certainly there for Floyd.
