It was expected that fantasy stalwart Larry Fitzgerald would be taking a step back without Kurt Warner throwing him the ball anymore. And while Fitzgerald had a pretty good opening week for fantasy purposes by gaining 43 yards and a touchdown, it was obvious that he and new Cardinals quarterback Derek Anderson weren’t yet on the same page.
Anderson targeted Fitzgerald 15 times against the Rams, but the duo only connected on three passes, oftentimes being well off the mark.
