Michael Floyd-Arizona Cardinals

Floyd is the only option from last week’s list that I think can still be a “sleeper” this week since Stefon Diggs, Nate Washington, and Rishard Matthews prices have gone up and they’re not on many waiver wire any more. Floyd is still available in 40% or ESPN leagues and a solid bargain on DraftKings (3,500) and FanDuel (4,900).

Floyd has been increasingly involved in the Cardinals’ passing attack after a slow start to the season due to some dislocated fingers. He has 50 yards receiving or more in three of Arizona’s last four games and has a touchdown in each of his last two.

There’s a chance that Floyd will see a huge bump in playing time since John Brown is battling a hamstring issue. Brown is expected to play as long as he can get loose in warmup’s, but if he is forced to sit or limited in any way look for Floyd to step up and continue to show plenty of upside in the Cardinals effective passing attack. Arizona is on a short week after their Monday night win, but they’re in a good matchup to attack as they head to Cleveland
