Analysis: Fitzgerald fell a touchdown short of a solid day for fantasy owners. Two of his 11 targets were in the end zone, but quarterback John Skelton struggled on the day and couldn't connect with his top wideout. Ideally he won't catch less than 40 percent of his targets on a weekly basis, but the Cards' shaky quarterback situation could keep Fitzgerald from being a Top 5 target this season. Keep an eye on Roberts as well. The next Cardinals player was targeted just four times.
