ARI QB Drew Stanton - 2015 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
For the first time in his career Drew Stanton started more than three games in 2014 while filling in for Carson Palmer, who missed 10 games with shoulder and knee injuries. The extra playing time gave Stanton enough tape to see trends and tendencies develop. He's broken it all down, analyzing every nuance. But with Palmer fully recovered from a torn ACL, Stanton's chance to take what he learned on tape and implement it on the football field will be limited.

Fantasy Downside
Stanton's production (or lack thereof) will depend entirely on Palmer's health.

Bottom Line
Stanton isn't preparing for another 2014, when injuries were an issue all season long. He understands his role, but he also knows he needs to be ready. And after last season, his state of readiness will be better than it ever has been. Even if Palmer is hurt, however, fantasy owners shouldn't be clamoring for Stanton's services unless they're in dire straits at the QB position.

ARI QB Drew Stanton - Week 15, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 – Drew Stanton vs. St. Louis

Drew Stanton had 239 yards and a touchdown last week against the Chiefs, and he managed to help the Cardinals come away with a much needed win to stay on top in the NFC West.

Stanton has the division rival Rams up next, who have come alive lately on the defensive side of the ball and wreaked havoc on Washington last week. Stanton hasn’t been known for his prolific passing numbers, and it’s hard to imagine him blowing up this week against an elite front four. Leave him on the bench.

ARI QB Drew Stanton - Week 14, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 – Drew Stanton vs. Kansas City

Drew Stanton had 294 yards and a touchdown against the Falcons last week, but he also threw two picks, crippling the Cardinals’ chances of winning the game. Stanton has been up and down, but mostly has struggled as a starter lately and the Cardinals’ offense has looked rough overall.

The Chiefs are the best in the league in passing yards allowed per game, with only 197 yards allowed on average to opposing passers. That doesn’t bode well for Stanton and the struggling Cardinals passing game, and fantasy owners should look elsewhere for quarterback help.

ARI QB Drew Stanton - Week 13, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 – Drew Stanton vs. Atlanta

Drew Stanton had only 149 yards on 26 pass attempts last week and threw a pick. The Cardinals offense couldn’t do much of anything against the Seahawks and the current NFC West division leaders lost the game in Seattle. They only put up three points on the day, and Stanton will certainly be hoping to improve in Week 13.

This week, Stanton should have a much better game against the Atlanta Falcons, who allow more passing yards per game than any other team in the NFL this season. Stanton is still too risky to count on, but if you’re in a deep league, a 2QB league, or you’ve just found yourself desperate at QB, Stanton has some matchup upside.

ARI QB Drew Stanton - Week 12, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 12 – Drew Stanton vs. Seattle

Drew Stanton actually had a decent performance against the Lions vaunted front four last week. Though he did throw two picks, he also had a pair of touchdown passes and over 300 yards passing as he led the Cardinals to a big victory over the surging Lions. Stanton is the starter for the rest of the season and has earned the trust of coach Bruce Arians.

This week, Stanton has another tough matchup against the Seattle Seahawks, who have only allowed 215 yards per game through the air this year, though they’re turnovers and sacks are down from a year ago. Stanton should be added in most leagues, but this isn’t the week to start him. He’s got a tough matchup and there should be better options available. We have him ranked 29th this week, meaning owners should leave him on the bench in all formats.

ARI QB Drew Stanton - Week 11, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 – Drew Stanton vs. Detroit
Drew Stanton will take over for the rest of the season after Carson Palmer suffered a season ending knee injury in the victory last week over the Rams. Stanton put up modest numbers early in the season filling in for Palmer, but this isn’t the week to test him in his newfound starter status. He faces a Detroit defense that ranks third in the league against the pass and first in the NFL in points allowed. Stanton should be added as a valuable backup in leagues where owners can carry two quarterbacks, but this isn’t the week to start him.

ARI QB Drew Stanton - Week 5, 2014 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 – Drew Stanton vs. Denver

Drew Stanton has done an admirable job filling in for the injured Carson Palmer. He’s had two victories, including a nice win against the 49ers in Week 3 before the bye last week. In that game, he managed 244 yards and a pair of touchdowns without throwing a pick as the Cardinals stunned the always tough San Francisco team.

Stanton has a good chance of playing this week against the Broncos. With Palmer’s status still a little sketchy, Stanton should still be the guy. If he does start, he’s a fringe QB2 option anyway, so fantasy owners should probably look somewhere other than Arizona for a quarterback this week.
