Tyrann Mathieu

Tyrann Mathieu (shoulder) unlikely to play for Cardinals in Week 11

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Tyrann Mathieu (shoulder) is not expected to play against the Minnesota Vikings, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.

What It Means:

On Friday, head coach Bruce Arians called Mathieu's availability a "Sunday decision." It sounds like it's already been decided. Mathieu's absence increases the chances cornerback Patrick Peterson will shadow wide receiver Stefon Diggs into the slot. Mathieu remains week to week with a dislocated shoulder.

Our algorithms project Diggs as a fantasy FLEX option in Week 11, with 77 receiving yards and 0.33 touchdowns on 6 catches. He's our 30th-best wide receiver.
