Arizona Cardinals TE John Carlson has been the tight end who impressed the most during organized team activities and minicamp. Head coach Bruce Arians complimented Carlson's ability to pick up the system quickly, his speed and hands, and he considers Carlson an adequate blocker. Arians wants physical tight ends who are capable blockers. Carlson will compete for targets with TEs Rob Housler, Jake Ballard and Troy Niklas (hand).

Fantasy Tip: The Cardinals tight end corps has too many options to be able to rely on any of them as a weekly fantasy option, at least at this point.

Arizona Cardinals TE Troy Niklas (hand) is hopeful to return the first day of training camp, according to head coach Bruce Arians. If not, Arians expects him back a few days into camp when the pads go on.

Fantasy Tip: The Cardinals tight end corps is deep, and Niklas is too far down the depth chart to be drafted this season.

Arizona Cardinals TE Troy Niklas has only played tight end for two years, but he thinks that may benefit him. "I haven't developed a lot of bad tendencies," Niklas said. "I don't mind blocking at all. I like physical contact. It's always funny when you get a good block on a D-end (defensive end) and he's sitting there like, 'Man, this tight end is owning me.'"

The Arizona Cardinals selected Notre Dame TE Troy Niklas with the 52nd overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Tip: Niklas is very raw at the position and is more of a blocker than a pass-catcher, so don't expect him to make much of a fantasy football impact in Arizona for another year or two.
