Michael Crabtree

Welcome to the desert Michael Crabtree.  As a veteran who has proven to be reliable most of his career, he automatically starts as the number three receiver on the team.

He came over a couple of weeks ago however he has not played at all.  He will wear his number 15 jersey.

Last season he started out hot with Joe Flacco in Baltimore but once Lamar Jackson and his running game came into play, Crabtree only caught 13 passes the second half of the season.

Now, after two attempts, he’s signed with the Cardinals as a free agent.  The second time is a charm.

Fantasy value: Early on, probably not much of a value.  However if you pick him up now and stash him on your bench for the second half of the season, you will likely not be sorry.

As the number three on the depth chart, you’d expect him to get a number of touches.  It will all come down to how quickly he can pick up Kliff Kingsbury‘s offense.
