Ryan Grant had to make sacrifices to earn his roster spot this year, but it may not guarantee him featured back status.

If QB Kyle Orton ends up in Arizona, it would be a great move for several different players from a fantasy perspective.

Brett Favre headlined a list of big-name players who sustained injuries in Week 13.

Hoping for a spark, Ken Whisenhunt has pulled QB Derek Anderson in favor of rookie Max Hall against the Rams.

A rough start in Arizona by Cardinals rookie QB Max Hall – rough to the tune of two interception returns for touchdowns — has resulted in a Derek Anderson sighting during the second quarter.

Why does Cardinals QB Max Hall wear one of those wrist bands with all of the plays on it? The only thing that should be written on Hall’s arm should be — THROW IT TO LARRY — in huge block letters. Any play coming through the headset should just be translated to “throw it to Larry Fitzgerald.”

I was in a theater many years ago watching a trailer of the movie “Planes, Trains and Automobiles,” when one of the guys in front of my leaned over to his friend and said, “If John Candy could ever get the right role, he would be a superstar. He just needs the chance.”

Max Hall is a great story, and there’s no shortage of reasons why. Following his first NFL start, the reaction from his teammates shows he’s earned their respect.

And now for our weekly look around the NFL by the numbers, taking note of most notable numbers and best performances to come out of Week 5.

Packers QB Aaron Rodgers suffered a concussion in overtime, the team confirmed, meaning that many fantasy strategists might need to ensure that their roster is in order next week.

St. Louis QB Sam Bradford was the hot pickup this week, as enthusiasts scrambled to replace bye week starters Tom Brady and Chad Henne.

The Cardinals are going with Max Hall at quarterback this week according to the Arizona Republic (via Kent Somers‘ Twitter). And you have to imagine that the Cardinals are kicking themselves for cutting ties with the team’s top quarterback this offseason.

Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt feels us as fantasy enthusiasts. Or so I would love to believe. Because Whisenhunt sounds about as exasperated about his current quarterback situation than your typical fantasy owner talking about his injured or ineffective quarterbacks.

We might be witnessing the beginning of the Max Hall era in Arizona.

The big winner in Matt Leinart’s exodus from Arizona could be undrafted rookie Max Hall. The big loser also could be the Cardinals.
