Summary

The defense continues to be up and down for the Cardinals. They have their moments but usually end up about middle of the road, which was the case last season. The pass defense is the area of strength for the Cardinals with Patrick Peterson, Greg Toler and William Gay serving as the top corners of the team. Peterson has shutdown potential but hasn't lived up to that billing just yet. Another area of strength for the Cardinals is the pass rush, which generated 42 sacks. Calais Campbell does a great job of pressuring the quarterback up the middle. And Sam Acho is emerging as a solid pass rusher off the edge. The rush defense can be an issue for the Cardinals, though. Campbell does well in run support but the linebackers have the occasional struggles stopping the run, which could be an issue once again this season. The Cardinals have a top special teams unit with Patrick Peterson leading the way. Peterson is one of the top return men in the game right now. He is a difference maker.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The Cardinals are a decent platoon team. Their secondary has some potential and they'll get some sacks. And their return game is top notch with Peterson back there returning punts and kicks. But we wouldn't use them against a great offensive team. Arizona is capable of allowing some big point and yardage totals.

Impending free-agent LB Jasper Brinkley might be brought back at the right price, but he is unlikely to be counted upon as a three-down solution. He played 857 of 1,192 gradable snaps (77.5 percent), and the highlight of his season might have been forcing fumbles by Chicago Bears RB Matt Forte, Houston Texans RB Arian Foster and Tennessee Titans RB Chris Johnson. However, he struggled against zone-read attacks, and he played in the base defense only for the first two weeks. He reportedly looked lost in the open field.
