Fantasy impact: Palmer’s performance on Sunday marked the second game in a row he’s thrown for over 300 yards and found the end zone at least twice.
Both of his touchdown passes against the Colts went to wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald and Michael Floyd was also a big part of the Cardinals' passing game on Sunday.
Although it doesn’t show up on the fantasy stat sheet, Palmer has now led the Cardinals to four straight wins. The Colts aren’t known for their pass defense and Palmer was able exploit it.
It helped that he got support from Rashard Mendenhall and Andre Ellington in the running game as well. On top of that the Cardinals defense held the Colts to 11 points too.
Palmer faces a porous Philadelphia Eagles secondary in Week 13, so he could be in for another big fantasy day.
