Arizona Cardinals top 5 fantasy picks for 2019

Fitz is going to have a milestone to reach early in the season. Expect Murray to feed him the ball early and often.
Fitz is going to also do everything he can to make Murray comfortable on the field, so he should continue to receive the number of targets a number one receiver should be getting. Not saying he could approach 100 receptions again, especially with all of the new receivers in the offense, but he will not be overlooked.
Fitz is just 22 receptions behind Tony Gonzalez for second all time in total career receptions. Once he hits 23 receptions on the season, Fitz will be number two.
Why stop there. Fitz has had six touchdowns each of the last three seasons but had 109 receptions just two years ago.
He had nine touchdowns in 2015 and 10 in 2013. That would be a nice neighborhood to reach at least one more time before he calls it quits, which may not necessarily be after this upcoming season.
