Arizona Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald is adjusting to a new quarterback under center and the transition has been rough so far. In the two games since Carson Palmer went down with a broken arm, Fitzgerald has caught nine passes for 99 yards. Sunday, the 14-year veteran led the Cardinals receiving core in targets, receptions and receiving yards.

Getting on the same page with his new QB Drew Stanton is not going to be easy against the Seattle Seahawks Thursday night. Fitzgerald will get the most attention from Seattle’s Legion of Boom in the contest. The Seahawks have the 12th-ranked passing defense in the league and they are one of only six defenses holding opposing teams to under 10 passing touchdowns through eight games.
Fantasy impact: Facing the Seahawks with a new QB is not an ideal situation for Fitzgerald, especially in fantasy. Luckily, his role as the top target did not change when Stanton took over. As long as a good amount of balls are thrown in his direction, Fitzgerald remains fantasy relevant, even against a tough division rival opponent.
