AZ Cardinals Recap and Notes

Knight rushed nine times for 27 yards and caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Monday’s 27-17 win over Dallas.

Knight watched teammate Emari Demercado (14-79-0) return from an ankle injury and reclaim the starter’s workload out of Arizona’s backfield. Head coach Jonathon Gannon stated that he would lean on the hotter hand Monday, and Demercado was that guy on Monday Night Football. Knight still handled a decent amount of touches, so he could retain value in deeper formats in a potential timeshare against the Seahawks on Sunday.

Harrison finished with seven receptions on 10 targets for 96 yards and a touchdown in Monday’s 27-17 win over the Cowboys.

Harrison entered Monday’s primetime tilt facing a team boasting two proven superstar receivers, only to casually finish as the game’s leading receiver and top fantasy producer. The seven receptions also represented a new career high for the 22-year-old. Harrison’s big night upped his season line to 31-492-3 through eight starts, giving managers hope for strong second half to his sophomore campaign. Even in games in which Harrison doesn’t go off, he is providing enough of a floor to earn a spot in fantasy lineups against the Seahawks on Sunday.

McBride corralled five of nine targets for 55 yards and a touchdown in Monday’s 27-17 win over the Cowboys.

McBride found himself back in the end zone just two weeks after setting a new career high in touchdowns with a multi-score effort against the Packers. The PPR monster had historically struggled in the red zone over the first three years of his career, but he has addressed that deficiency by hitting pay dirt four times in his last three appearances. McBride entered rare air with Monday’s stat line, joining current and former legends Travis Kelce and Tony Gonzalez as the only tight ends in NFL history to record at least five catches in 10 consecutive games. The 25-year-old McBride will attempt to carry over his red-hot play into Sunday’s division matchup against the Seahawks.

Cardinals head coach Jonathan Gannon said after Monday’s 27-17 win over the Cowboys that Murray (foot) will remain the team’s starting quarterback once fully healthy, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Jacoby Brissett was once again impressive Monday while filling in for Murray under center, leading Arizona to a primetime win while throwing for multiple scores for the third contest in a row. Brissett’s performance has seemingly created a quarterback controversy in Arizona, though Gannon tried to end that chatter with a clear statement that Murray remains atop the depth chart. Murray has yet to record a full practice since suffering a mid-foot sprain, so it remains unclear if he’ll be ready to return Week 10 against Seattle.
