8. WR Larry Fitzgerald, Cardinals

Week 13- Dec. 2

Even as he approaches 35 years of age, Fitzgerald is still getting it done using his impeccable technique at receiver. Just last season he went for over 1,000 yards receiving for the ninth time in his career. Carson Palmer may not be throwing to him anymore, but one thing we’ve learned over the years is Fitzgerald can put up big numbers regardless of who his quarterback is.

Packers fans may remember Fitzgerald from his 75-yard catch and run that ended their 2015 season. It was one of the many heartbreaking playoff loses the team has gone through in the last decade.

It appears he will be catching balls from either Sam Bradford or 10th overall pick Josh Rosen the upcoming season, however, Fitzgerald is still the number one option in Arizona. Green Bay’s defense needs to avoid letting him go for 176 yards like he did the last time they faced off.
