Arizona Cardinals receiver Michael Floyd looked like he could be in for a breakout season after his 119-yard, one-touchdown performance in Week 1. However, the injury to quarterback Carson Palmer derailed his chances and he hasn't scored since.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 5: Michael Floyd
Michael Floyd will have Drew Stanton as his quarterback this week. Should you give him a chance to perform in your fantasy starting lineup?

It took some time for Floyd to get on the same page with quarterback Drew Stanton. In Week 2, he only had one catch for 19 yards, but he turned it around in Week 3 against the San Francisco 49ers with 114 yards. The bye in Week 4 could help his chances, too. Obviously the Cardinals will need to throw the ball around to hang with Peyton Manning and company.
Fantasy impact: The Broncos have done a decent job against receivers to date, ranking 13th in fantasy points allowed. However, they have only faced the Seattle Seahawks, Kansas City Chiefs and Indianapolis Colts, so two of those three teams aren't very strong on the outside. Floyd will have a chance to catch a long TD and should be a solid WR2 this week.
