The Cardinals' website writes that second-year WR Michael Floyd appears to have made "a big leap" in his second NFL offseason.
Floyd worked ahead of Andre Roberts at the start of OTAs and appears to be in the driver's seat to open the season as the starter opposite Larry Fitzgerald. It'll be a camp battle to monitor. Floyd ultimately had a slow rookie year, but finished fast with 14 catches for 213 yards and a touchdown combined in Weeks 16 and 17. Arizona's quarterback situation has also received a big upgrade.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Michael Floyd ran with the starters more often than Andre Roberts at the outset of Cardinals OTAs.

Floyd was buried on the depth chart early last season, but came on late to finish with a 45/562/2 line. Per the Arizona Republic, Floyd now looks "impressive" and "more confident." He certainly has the talent edge on Roberts and fits Bruce Arians' aggressive, vertical scheme well. If Floyd can lock down the No. 2 gig opposite Larry Fitzgerald, he's going to be an ideal sleeper in fantasy circles.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Speaking at the Scouting Combine, new Cardinals coach Bruce Arians described 2012 first-round pick Michael Floyd as a "bright young star."

Arians loves the receiver corps he inherited; he just needs someone to get them the ball. "He is a bright young star," Arians said of Floyd. "He has to get better fundamentally. But he's physical, he's big, he's active. I loved him coming out. To see he and Larry across from each other, and Andre Roberts, that's a nice group. That's one position we don't have to worry about."

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Mike Jurecki of XTRA Phoenix expects 2012 first-round pick Michael Floyd to be the Cardinals' No. 3 receiver in 2013.

Jurecki notes that Floyd is a good "downfield option" at receiver, which fits Bruce Arians' vertical-passing mindset. In Jurecki's scenario, Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Roberts would continue to be the bookend starters in two-wide sets, with Roberts likely kicking inside to the slot on passing downs. The Cardinals' receivers will move around the formation more than ever, though.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Michael Floyd caught eight passes for 166 yards and one touchdown in Sunday's Week 17 loss to the 49ers.

After being a complete non-factor through the first seven weeks of his rookie season, Floyd picked up steam down the stretch and capped it off with an explosive regular season finale. In his first seven games, Floyd caught a total of eight passes for 91 yards and a touchdown. Over the final nine contests, he averaged 4.1 catches and 52.3 yards per game. The No. 13 overall pick out of Notre Dame finished with 45 catches for 562 yards and two touchdowns. Doing that with who Arizona threw out there at quarterback is quite an accomplishment. If the Cardinals can find a competent signal caller this offseason, Floyd could be a WR3 next season. Floyd should be no lower than the third wideout in 2013.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Michael Floyd caught six balls for 47 yards in the Cardinals' Week 16 loss to the Bears.

He was targeted eight times, securing all of his receptions on possession-type routes. Floyd officially came off the bench behind Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Roberts, but he's playing regular snaps in a three-receiver-heavy Cardinals offense. Floyd and Arizona will wrap up their season in Week 17 at San Francisco.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Michael Floyd caught three passes for a team-high 37 yards in Week 15 versus Detroit.

Floyd tied for the team-lead with his five targets and was the only receiver to top 22 yards. With Early Doucet (concussion) out, the first-round pick played a decent chunk of snaps. Floyd, along with the rest of the Arizona receiving corps, holds no fantasy value for Week 16 in the midst of a nightmarish quarterback situation.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Michael Floyd caught two passes for 30 yards in the Cardinals' Week 14 loss to the Seahawks.

Floyd played behind a healthy Andre Roberts but ahead of Early Doucet, seeing five targets. However, his standing on the depth chart doesn't really matter until the Cardinals get a warm body playing quarterback. The John Skelton/Ryan Lindley duo has rendered the entire Cardinals' receiving corps unusable.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Rookie Michael Floyd will make his second consecutive start if Andre Roberts (ankle) is unable to go Sunday at Seattle.

Floyd's 10 targets led the team last week, but managed just two catches for 22 yards with Ryan Lindley holding the offense hostage. He should see a slight uptick in production with John Skelton under center. Larry Fitzgerald has begun teasing Roberts for his two-week absence, calling him "Todd" and "Heap."

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Michael Floyd caught two passes for 22 yards in the Cardinals' Week 13 loss to the Jets.

Floyd's early-season struggles were on him; he lined up in the wrong place and dropped passes. His late-season woes are on Arizona's putrid quarterback play. Floyd started Sunday's game for Andre Roberts (ankle) and saw ten targets -- more than any Cardinals receiver. No Arizona pass catcher exceeded 23 yards in this game, however. Floyd is waiver-wire fodder for the fantasy stretch run.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Michael Floyd caught four passes for 35 yards in Arizona's Week 12 loss to the Rams.

Even with Early Doucet out with a rib injury, Floyd was an afterthought in the passing game, getting just four targets as Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Roberts and Rob Housler all drew 11 or more. Two of Floyd's grabs came with the game well out of reach in the fourth quarter. He remains off the redraft-league radar.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Coach Ken Whisenhunt confirmed Monday that Michael Floyd was benched in Week 11 for making two on-field errors.

Floyd initially came out of a pass route wrong, leading to an incompletion. He was benched plays later for lining up in the incorrect spot. "You have to create urgency," Whisenhunt said, explaining the benching. Floyd has talent to be a down-the-road fantasy contributor, but he's well off the 2012 radar.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Rookie WR Michael Floyd was benched during Sunday's loss to the Falcons for lining up wrong.

It's two steps forward, one step back for Floyd. As the Cardinals came out of their bye, they pledged to get their first-round pick more involved by lining him up opposite Larry Fitzgerald and kicking Andre Roberts to the slot. But Floyd let them down with a mental mistake, something that has plagued him all year. He ended up with two catches for 18 yards on four targets.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Michael Floyd caught two passes for 18 yards in the Cardinals' Week 11 loss to the Falcons.

He was targeted four times. Floyd was the Cardinals' third receiver Sunday, playing behind Larry Fitzgerald and Andre Roberts but ahead of Early Doucet. Doucet still caught more balls (5) for more yards (28) in a putrid performance for the Arizona passing game altogether. Floyd is an interesting long-term "hold" in Dynasty leagues, but he remains off the re-draft radar.

Michael Floyd - WR - Cardinals

Coach Ken Whisenhunt reiterated that first-round rookie WR Michael Floyd will see an increase in snaps as the Cardinals come out of their bye.

Whiz has confirmed that he will be making lineup changes. One of them will be at wideout, where Floyd is expected to see the majority of reps at Z. Andre Roberts will kick to the slot in three-wide sets. In the two games before the bye, Floyd played a little over 60 percent of the snaps and caught 10 passes for 115 yards. He's worth a look in deeper PPR formats.
