Larry Fitzgerald caught eight passes for 111 yards on 12 targets in Week 16 against the Bears. It marked just his second 100-yard performance of 2012 after suffering through constant issues with Cardinals’ quarterbacks.
Larry Fitzgerald finally pays off again for fantasy owners

Brian Hoyer entered the game for Arizona in the third quarter, which helped boost Fitzgerald’s numbers in a big way.
Fantasy Impact: Hoyer wasn’t outstanding in his one half of work, but he did a much better job getting the Cardinals star wideout the ball than Ryan Lindley ever has. Fitzgerald’s eight receptions were his highest since matching that number back in early October.
If the Cardinals decided to stick with Hoyer under center, Fitzgerald’s fantasy value will certainly improve. Regardless, he faces a tough matchup next week against San Francisco.
