Arizona’s James Conner looks to exploit favorable matchup against league’s worst run defense
Associated PressArizona at Carolina Sunday, 1 p.m. EST, FOX. They’re third in the NFC West, one game behind the Seattle Seahawks and Los Angeles Rams.. Arizona’s defense has allowed an average of just 17.9 points over the past eight games. That ranks second in the league over that span, trailing only Philadelphia.. LB Baron Browning and rookie DL Darius Robinson both had their first sacks of the season last week against the Patriots.. S Budda Baker signed a three-year extension this week, keeping him with the Cardinals through 2027. The Panthers are 2-6 at home.. QB Bryce Young had four turnovers in last week’s loss to the Cowboys — two on interceptions and two on sack-fumbles — and was sacked a season-high six times.. RB Chuba Hubbard has his first career 1,000-yard season, but is coming off a rough game last week in which he was held to 32 yards on 10 carries.. WR Adam Thielen has been targeted 28 times and has 22 catches over the past three games for 252 yards and a touchdown.. Fantasy tip Marvin Harrison Jr. has been quiet of late with only six catches for 81 yards over the past two weeks, but Arizona’s rookie wide receiver could be in for a big game against a Carolina defense that allowed Dallas’ Cooper Rush to throw for a career-high three touchdown pass last week at home.
