Michael Floyd injury update: WR probable, will play for fantasy owners
The Cardinals wide receiver is listed as probable and will suit up in Week 12. We break down the fantasy implications.

Fantasy Impact: Floyd finally had the break-out performance last week that patient owners had been waiting for all season. He went off to the tune of six catches for 193 yards and one touchdown. Floyd’s sophomore campaign has been as good as one can reasonably expect in the Cardinals’ limited offense. He has three touchdowns on the year and has proven to be a low-end but reliable PPR option. Last week’s performance was his first 100-yard game of the season, but Floyd has been playing well and is averaging an explosive 15.6 yards per catch.
Floyd’s breakout game was encouraging, but fantasy owners shouldn’t get ahead of themselves just yet. The talented first-round pick is still dealing with suspect quarterback play and a screen-door of an offensive line. The Colts do present a favorable match up but owners hoping he replicates last week’s numbers could be disappointed. Floyd is a high-upside WR3 and should be in starting lineups.
