Larry Fitzgerald, WR, Arizona Cardinals

The first cause for concern for Larry Fitzgerald is under center now for the Arizona Cardinals, so it's easy to find: quarterback Carson Palmer tore ligaments in his knee this past week, and now backup Drew Stanton will be taking snaps and slinging the rock. That alone is enough to cause concern for this veteran wideout, but in addition, our aging friend has crossed into double digits just three times this season. A more risky passer will not alleviate concerns about Fitz's own decline, and we could see another near-useless game for this former fantasy stud.

Add in the fact that the Detroit Lions, who possess the 5th-best defensive unit by Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP and the 2nd-best unit in Adjusted Defensive Total NEP, and you have a matchup that would make one question even the most reliable fantasy player. Sit Larry this week if you can. It might be worth it.
