Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer returned from a four-week hiatus in a Week 6 win against Washington and threw two touchdowns. He's batting 1.000 with multiple-TD games in his two chances, a trend that should continue against the Oakland Raiders in Week 7.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 7: Carson Palmer
Carson Palmer gets a little chance at revenge in Oakland. Should fantasy owners take advantage?

It's always fun when a quarterback gets to have some revenge against his former team, especially when that team is horrible. The Raiders are the 22nd-toughest matchup for fantasy quarterbacks and are coming off an ugly game, allowing a three-TD effort to San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers.
The Cardinals are also struggling a little on offense, so it’s not like they’re going to play clock control. Palmer should have every opportunity to post a huge line now that he has a strong grasp of coach Bruce Arians’ offense.
Fantasy impact: Palmer is going to be a popular choice in daily fantasy leagues and should be a very serviceable QB1. If you’re unsure of your usual guy, give Palmer a look.
