We made it to the NFC! We're halfway through the team previews! I've had several requests for access to previous newsletters and rankings and wanted to let anybody looking for those know that both will be available on SportsLine. I'll tweet a link out for each when they are made available, so be sure to follow me on Twitter if you aren't already.

Before diving into Fantasy analysis for each team, I'll present a brief overview containing their offensive ranks in my baseline team projections as well as any notable coaching or offensive line changes.

Projected Offensive Plays – (25th)

Projected Passing TDs – 23.8 (22nd)

Projected Rushing TDs – 19.1 (12th)

Notable coaching changes:

• Run it back! Arizona's new-look coaching staff was a pleasant surprise in 2023.

Notable offensive line changes

• Signed right tackle Jonah Williams
• Drafted guard Isaiah Adams in Round 3
• Drafted tackle Christian Jones in Round 5

With the addition of Williams to play right tackle, Arizona will shift the sixth overall pick from the 2023 NFL Draft, Paris Johnson Jr. over to left tackle. That's the position that he played at Ohio State. Johnson was a bit underwhelming as a rookie, and any improvement that he is able to make from Year 1 to Year 2 will be pivotal in pushing this line from average to good.

Arizona also drafted 273-pound blocking tight end Tip Reipman in Round 3. I found this analysis from Nate Tice very interesting regarding the potential for more two and three-tight end sets from the Cardinals, how the presence of Marvin Harrison Jr. as the "X" receiver may force defenses into mismatches when forced to cover 12 and 13 personnel, and how this may result in an additional boost for the run game.

The Cardinals improved the run game dramatically in the first year under offensive coordinator Drew Petzing, offensive line coach Klayton Adams, and running backs coach Audric Denson. That trio joined forces in 2023 to engineer one of the best rushing attacks in the NFL in their first crack at designing an NFL run game. The Cardinals were one of just three teams (Miami and Detroit being the other two) with a positive rushing EPA (expected points added) on RB rush attempts.
