top fantasy quarterback through the first five weeks. And if you’re looking for consistency, Carson Palmer is getting closer to returning, meaning more (and better) opportunities coming for the Arizona pass-catchers.

extremely elite athletic profile, you can’t dispute his growing role in the Cardinals’ offense. He played 97% of the offensive snaps last week, and is now the clear number-one tight end in town.

Arizona gets Washington at home this week, offering up a very exploitable matchup for Carlson. Washington ranks 26th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP and has given up 18.6 PPR points per game to opposing tight ends.

While the quarterback situation is worrisome, Carlson is worth a dart throw in a good matchup.
