The Arizona Cardinals have been able to shut down the run, but they are getting gashed in the passing game, which has helped quarterback Carson Palmer because the Cardinals are playing close games.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 8: Carson Palmer
Palmer should have some success against the Eagles. Should fantasy owners use him in their lineups?

In his three games, he’s thrown TDs in every game with 112 attempts and has a passer rating of 101.3 in that span. He’s clearly grasped head coach Bruce Arians’ system very well and he gets a great matchup this week.
The Eagles have allowed the fifth-most points to fantasy quarterbacks and have been dreadful on the road. Palmer has most of his weapons close to full strength and this should be a shootout. The Eagles have some injuries all over their defense and the deep balls to receivers Michael Floyd and Larry Fitzgerald should be plentiful.
Fantasy impact: This is one of the best matchups he’s going to get, so he should be in your lineup as a low-end QB1. To be clear, you shouldn’t play him if you have a must-start guy.
