Wide Receiver (6)

Starters: DeAndre Hopkins, Larry Fitzgerald, Christian Kirk

Backups: Trent Sherfield, Andy Isabella, KeeSean Johnson

Cut: Hakeem Butler, JoJo Ward, Johnnie Dixon, Andre Patton, A.J. Richardson

There is no doubt who the top three receivers on this team are. After that, it would seem pretty clear right now who the leaders are to fill in the last spots.

It would seem the Cardinals would go with six receivers if they decide to go with four running backs. If the Cardinals decide to go seven receivers, they could decide to hold onto Hakeem Butler.

Butler has been documented to be struggling in camp again. He is coming off his rookie season being spent on IR.

Butler struggled in camp last season before he was shelved for the season because of his injury. That may not save him from being cut though. He could be a practice squad option.

Isabella figures to get more playing time this season. He did not have many plays called for him in 2019 despite being a high draft pick. Sherfield has proven to be more than a one-preseason wonder.
