ARI QB Josh Rosen - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Minnesota Vikings

Cardinals fans can be excited about Josh Rosen. He’s kept the Cardinals competitive in each of his two starts, including a victory over the 49ers last week. Fantasy owners should not be excited about Rosen. While he hasn’t thrown a pick in either of his two starts, he’s only thrown two touchdowns and has yet to eclipse 200 yards passing. Regardless of the matchup, until we see some production out of the former Bruin, there’s no reason to grab him off waivers outside dynasty league formats.

ARI QB Josh Rosen - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 at San Francisco 49ers

Josh Rosen didn’t do much last week, but he showed a little more life than Sam Bradford did in his three starts. Rosen finished with 180 yards and a touchdown pass against the Seahawks in his first career start, but most importantly, kept his Cardinals in the game until the very end with a late-game touchdown pass to Chad Williams. Rosen remains a work in progress and shouldn’t be counted on, regardless of the matchup, but dynasty owners should be encouraged by Rosen’s long-term potential, and re-draft owners should keep an eye on his development as the Cardinals continue to find their groove under a new coaching staff and a rookie quarterback.

ARI QB Josh Rosen - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Josh Rosen didn’t have a great NFL debut against the Bears last week, completing four passes for 36 yards and an interception in relief of Sam Bradford. Nonetheless, Rosen will take over as the starter this week against Seattle. He has potential and weapons to work with, but until we see production from him, it’s hard to trust him in most fantasy leagues. He’s a speculative add in deep leagues only, and streamers should look elsewhere.

ARI QB Josh Rosen - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 vs. Washington Redskins

Josh Rosen is set to ride the bench to start his career, but with starter Sam Bradford still a little banged up and his history of injuries, it’s always possible Rosen could see the field sooner rather than later. Even if Bradford ends up sitting, we advise a wait-and-see approach with the rookie. The Cardinals may have some growing pains and there should be better options available.

ARI QB Josh Rosen - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Make no mistake, Josh Rosen is ready to play as a rookie, and the presence of Sam Bradford on the Cardinals roster should not preclude the No. 10 pick in the 2018 NFL Draft from starting right away. Rosen, an impressive prospect since his high school days, completed 60 percent of his passes at 7.5 yards per attempt with 23 passing touchdowns and just 11 interceptions as an 18-year-old true freshman at UCLA in 2015. He can have a similar immediate impact in Arizona in 2018, mainly because his outstanding footwork and reliable, pinpoint accuracy at the short and intermediate levels make him an ideal candidate to run a West Coast Offense in the NFL.

Fantasy Downside

According to NFL.com, Rosen lacks "plus arm strength." In addition, the league's scouting report suggests that Rosen will need to quell concerns surrounding leadership and coachability early on in order to establish a strong first impression and get his career off on the right foot. All of this plays into comments from his college coach, Jim Mora Jr., indicating Rosen is easily bored if not mentally challenged.

2018 Bottom Line

If one of the knocks against Rosen is indeed the fact he's "too smart," then incoming Cardinals coordinator Mike McCoy's version of the West Coast offense—which has been characterized as too complicated in past seasons—could make this a match made in heaven. Assuming Rosen earns the starting nod this season, David Johnson and Larry Fitzgerald will provide the rookie with a solid fantasy foundation, even though the offensive line is still a work in progress. Don't be in a rush to invest draft capital, but don't be afraid to make a quick move in free agency if he starts fast.
