It's obvious Palmer wasn't even looking his way Monday night. It looked more than just a fluke. Would you sit him this week, here is my bench

Tate
Randell
Hurns

I'd go with Fitz before any of those guys.

Id probably start Tate over him, although they have a tough matchup with Carolina this week

You'd think Palmer would be good for Fitz... but its been the exact opposite

Fitz has 4 seasons where hes finished with less than 1000 yards, 2 of those have come in the past 2 years(other 2 were rookie year, and a year he missed 3 games)... only 4 games over 100 yards in that same time frame.

Hes still talented as hell, but for some reason Palmer hasnt been able to get him the ball

For the life of me, I still haven't figured out why Larry Fitzgerald isn't commonly viewed as fantasy football poison.

I love Larry. LOVE him. But I have never seen so talented a receiver consistently ignored in the passing game by his QB's, year after year after year after year.

It's not like the guy can't score points, but there are about 15-20 WR's who are better, more consistent and actually targeted by their QB's out there right now.

I'm unsure at this point. I think (hope) he bounces back this week against the putrid Giants. I'm fumbling between he, G.Tate & Knowshon this week.

Arians said today they wont force the ball to Fitz. That said, it will work itself out. FItz isnt complaining, he is going to go out and grind and will see more balls going forward. If you have a better option, then throw em out there. I like Fitz as a strong flex play

Tate looked pretty good imo. But you can't bench Fitz (yet)

That's what I'm thinking. I don't like Knowshon up in Buffalo, so I'm going to give Fitz another crack at it. Figure if he can't get it going against NYG he's getting benched.

I can see this too. It'll come down to a Sunday morning decision for me.

Palmer and Arians have been qouted saying they won't force the ball, how about just look his way. Looks pretty bad on their part with his contract situation

I'm bumping this back to page 1 to see if there are any new thoughts or comments. My second best option to playing Fitz at WR3 is Dwayne Bowe, so I think I'm rolling with No. 11 for one more week.

If Fitz repeats Week 1, he's toast.

Wait for some reason I thought you meant the RB Tate haha. I think you can coin toss between Golden Tate and Fitz.

I'd roll with Golden Tate. Arians and Palmer's comments this week doesn't leave me with much confidence that they will actively try to get Fitz involved.

I've gotta choose outta these 3 and I've ranked them in this order as of now:

Tate
Knowshon
Larry

Jury still out though... Flex in a PPR

Should have a pretty good week this week. I'm actually probably going to roll with him as a bargain buy on Fandual this week. CAR will most likely bracket Calvin (much better than NYG did in that 1st half), which could lead to a lot of looks for G.T.

I'm assuming this is Golden Tate and not Ben.

I watched Tate pretty closely on Monday and he looked solid. Defenses can't double team everyone, so his opportunities should continue.

But looking at the opposing defenses-he's facing the Panthers and Larry is going against the Giants. I see that as an endorsement of Larry over Golden.

Not sure what I'd do with Moreno as a third option. I guess I'd want to know more about his shoulder injury before making a decision.
