Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught six passes for 49 yards in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans, but the bad news was that he suffered a concussion in overtime. Early reports indicate he did not feel well after the game.
Larry Fitzgerald suffers concussion in win over Titans
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald caught six passes for 49 yards in the Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans. We bring you the fantasy implications here.
Fitzgerald was targeted a team high nine times and finished with 8.2 yards per catch. Fitzgerald saw a lot of Titans excellent corner back Alterraun Verner and underrated slot defensive back Coty Sensabaugh. Michael Floyd was targeted five times and caught two passes for 33 yards matched up against Jason McCourty. This was the first time Fitzgerald had been held scoreless since Week 10. Fitzgerald has ten touchdowns on the year while Floyd has four.
Fantasy impact: Fitzgerald will enter the NFL concussion protocol, which requires multiple levels of clearance before he can return to action. If he is able to be asymptomatic at rest and after exertion, and get cleared by an independent neurologist, he could get back for the Cardinals Week 16 matchup against the Seattle Seahawks.
If Fitzgerald does return in Week 16, he faces a Seahawks team giving up the least fantasy points to wide receivers. We’ll keep an eye on his injury status in the meantime.
