Carson Palmer, QB, Arizona Cardinals

ESPN Ownership: 17.7%

Carson Palmer had a game to forget in Week 1.

The 37-year-old completed just 56.2% passes while tossing 3 interceptions in a 35-23 loss to the Detroit Lions. Palmer's Passing Net Expected Points (NEP) of -7.86 ranked just 23rd out of the 30 starting quarterbacks last week. While his poor performance has worn some of the sheen off his attractiveness as a streamer, his Week 2 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts has him poised to rebound.

Without top cornerback Vontae Davis, the Colts looked horrific in Week 1, allowing the Los Angeles Rams and Jared Goff to sling it all over them to the tune of 310 yards in a 46-9 rout. With Davis still not practicing and expected to be out again Sunday, Palmer and the Cardinals' offense draw the perfect opponent to get back on track, especially with star running back David Johnson out for the next two-to-three months.
