 Steve Breaston - WRNov. 20 - 3:35 pm et
Steve Breaston (knee, probable) was limited in Friday's practice.
Breaston, however, will be active at St. Louis. He's always a fine WR3 bet against porous defensive backfields. The Rams are 25th against the pass.

 Chike Okeafor - LBNov. 20 - 2:41 pm et
Cardinals OLB Chike Okeafor (back) has been ruled out for Week 11.
Okeafor has 3.5 sacks to backup Bertrand Berry's 3.0, so the loss shouldn't prove too damaging. Berry will face off with Rams LT Alex Barron on Sunday.

 Gerald Hayes - LBNov. 19 - 6:13 pm et
Cardinals ILB Gerald Hayes (back) has resumed practicing in full and is expected to start against the Rams this week.
Without both Hayes and Chike Okeafor, Seahawks lightweights Justin Forsett and Louis Rankin ran all over the Cardinals defense last week. They'll need Hayes against a red-hot Steven Jackson on Sunday.

 Steve Breaston - WRNov. 19 - 3:51 pm et
Steve Breaston (knee) was limited again in Thursday's practice.
Breaston will play in his customary No. 3 receiver role against the Rams, and we have him ranked as the No. 28 fantasy option at wide receiver this week.

 Steve Breaston - WRNov. 18 - 4:14 pm et
Steve Breaston (knee) was limited in Cardinals practice Wednesday.
Breaston is in no danger of sitting out Week 11 at St. Louis. He is coming off a four-reception, 79-yard, one-touchdown effort against the Seahawks.

 Tim Hightower - RBNov. 17 - 9:22 am et
Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt indicated Monday that Tim Hightower is still his starting running back.
Hightower is still the starter, but Beanie Wells is making his move. "We're not going to make Beanie the starter just to make Beanie the starter. ... The rotation we've got going now has been very effective, and we're pleased with that," Whisenhunt said. Consider Hightower a strong option only in PPR leagues against the Rams this week.

 Chris Wells - RBNov. 16 - 1:57 pm et
Despite Beanie Wells' 127-yard, two-score breakout effort in Week 10, coach Ken Whisenhunt indicated Monday that the Cardinals will not shake up their running back depth chart.
"There's no reason to mess with what's working," beat reporter Darren Urban says. Wells saw 18 touches to starter Tim Hightower's 15 against Seattle, but Beanie's time appears to be coming. He'll be a high-upside RB2 in Week 11 at the Rams, while Hightower will be worth consideration as a PPR flex.

 Early Doucet - WRNov. 15 - 10:39 pm et
ESPN's Mike Sando confirms that Early Doucet has overtaken Jerheme Urban to be Arizona's No. 4 receiver.
Urban didn't play one snap in Sunday's win over Seattle, even losing his special teams responsibilities. Doucet had a drop, but caught an eight-yard pass while Urban went catch-less. Doucet can be added in deep leagues.

 Steve Breaston - WRNov. 15 - 8:03 pm et
Steve Breaston caught four passes for 79 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks in Week 10.
Seahawks corner Marcus Trufant was expecting help over the top, and Breaston was left uncovered for a 28-yard score in the second quarter. He added another touchdown just before the half, but it was called back on a holding penalty. Breaston has been over 50 yards in every game but one this season, and he remains a WR3 fantasy play next week.
 Anquan Boldin - WRNov. 15 - 8:00 pm et
Anquan Boldin caught eight passes for 105 yards against the Seahawks in Week 10.
Coming off a sprained ankle, this was Boldin's best performance of the season. Boldin was featured heavily on underneath routes, and his 37-yard catch-and-run in the fourth quarter put the Cardinals in position for the go-ahead score. He should be back to a solid WR2 starting next week against the Rams.
 Larry Fitzgerald - WRNov. 15 - 7:56 pm et
Larry Fitzgerald caught seven passes for 73 yards and a touchdown against the Seahawks in Week 10.
Fitz scored his NFL-leading eighth touchdown of the season on a nice back shoulder fade and a lunging effort to get inside the pylon. Extra defensive attention and Kurt Warner's inability to get the ball deep are killing Fitz's big-play ability this season, but he's still the most consistently productive receiver in the league.
 Tim Hightower - RBNov. 15 - 7:53 pm et
Tim Hightower rushed 10 times for 37 yards and added five receptions for 21 yards against the Seahawks in Week 10.
Slowly but surely, Hightower is getting usurped in the running game by Beanie Wells. He still has a significant role in the passing game, but his fantasy value is taking a hit with Wells' emergence.
 Kurt Warner - QBNov. 15 - 7:52 pm et
Kurt Warner completed 29-of-38 passes for 340 yards and two touchdowns against the Seahawks in Week 10.
Warner became the 29th player in NFL history to reach 200 touchdown passes on his fourth-quarter connection with Larry Fitzgerald. While he still can't get anything going beyond 20 yards, he deserves credit for his accuracy and decision making in the short passing game. Warner has come back strong since his five-pick game in Week 9, and he's a viable QB1 against the Rams next week.
 Chris Wells - RBNov. 15 - 7:46 pm et
Beanie Wells rushed 16 times or 85 yards and two touchdowns and added two receptions for 32 yards to lead the Cardinals over the Seahawks in Week 10, 31-20.
The Cardinals unleashed the beast in the second half, with Wells shaking tackles and punishing defenders while finishing off his runs with authority. The 13-yard touchdown in the the fourth quarter was a highlight reel effort, showingcasing his explosiveness and physicality. Wells had 16 carries to Tim Hightower's 10, and he's emerging as the preferred choice in the red zone. He's a viable RB2 at St. Louis next week.
 Ben Patrick - TENov. 15 - 2:55 pm et
Cardinals declared TE Ben Patrick, LB Chike Okeafor, LB Gerald Hayes, WR Sean Morey, OL Brandon Keith, OL Herman Johnson, TE Dominique Byrd, and QB Brian St. Pierre inactive for Week 10 against the Seahawks.
Anquan Boldin is active after practicing all week. Stephen Spach will replace Patrick at tight end. Ali Highsmith will fill in for Hayes at linebacker.
 Anquan Boldin - WRNov. 14 - 6:26 pm et
The Cardinals will try much harder to trade Anquan Boldin this spring, according to ESPN's Len Pasquarelli.
Pasquarelli says that, "some coaches and team officials are at their breaking point with the seven-year veteran." Boldin was held out of the Week 9 win by the team and wasn't afraid to publicly let the Cardinals know about it. Boldin also hasn't been happy with his contract for some time now. He'll make "just" $3 million in 2010. If only we all were so lucky.

 Anquan Boldin - WRNov. 13 - 4:40 pm et
Anquan Boldin (ankle) practiced without limitations again Friday and is listed as probable for Week 10.
Boldin should he as healthy as he's been since early in the season after getting Week 9 off to rest. He'll square off with the Seahawks' No. 17 pass defense Sunday, and makes for a high quality WR2 or flex in fantasy leagues.

 Tim Hightower - RBNov. 13 - 12:29 pm et
The Cardinals rank second in the NFL in red-zone efficiency, having converted for points on 69 percent of their chances inside opposing 20-yard lines.
Only the Bengals have been more efficient. Tim Hightower has dominated red-zone carries all season and isn't in danger of losing his goal-line duties. He has seen 80% of Arizona's running back touches in the red area.

 Sean Morey - WRNov. 13 - 10:37 am et
Cardinals WR Sean Morey realized during last week's game that he had suffered a concussion the week before.
Morey, recently elected to chair an NFL Players Union committee that will look into head trauma, is not practicing this week. The special teams ace will likely be held out of Sunday's game against Seattle.

 Steve Breaston - WRNov. 12 - 5:26 pm et
Steve Breaston (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice.
Breaston is fine. With Anquan Boldin returning this week, he'll move back to third receiver duties against the Seahawks.
