Wed, 15 May 2013 15:04:08 -0700 Arizona Cardinals QB Carson Palmer said he wants to build chemistry with all of the wide receivers because he will not be able to throw to WR Larry Fitzgerald all the time. "It's of the utmost importance to be on the same page with Larry, but it's of the utmost importance to be on the same page with every one of those guys because the ball can't always go to him," Palmer said. "I know that's not what he wants to hear, but that's the truth. There will be teams that key on him and there will be games where he doesn't have as many catches as other games. It's that much more important I have that rhythm and timing down with [WR Michael Floyd] and [WR Andre Roberts] and whoever that third and fourth guy is going to be."
Tue, 14 May 2013 21:00:05 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald will be lined up in different spots this year, sometimes working in the slot with WR Andre Roberts on the outside. Fantasy Tip: Regardless of where Fitzgerald lines up, he will again be a top-notch fantasy option worthy of a selection in the neighborhood of Rounds 4 to 6 on Draft Day.
Tue, 23 Apr 2013 13:47:33 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald is not participating in the voluntary team practice Tuesday, April 23.
Tue, 02 Apr 2013 13:34:39 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald is very happy about the trade that brought QB Carson Palmer to the team Tuesday, April 2. Fantasy Tip: Fitzgerald should be happy, as this is a significant upgrade over what the team has had at the position before. Fitzgerald is still one of the top fantasy wide receivers in the game, and this trade should only solidify that standing.
Mon, 18 Mar 2013 21:18:44 -0700 There is no chance the Arizona Cardinals will trade WR Larry Fitzgerald, as they are more than happy with the receiver, and it would cost them a $15 million salary cap hit.
Sat, 16 Feb 2013 08:01:39 -0800 Former NFL WR Cris Carter said Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald is the only other receiver in league history who is comparable in terms of pass-catching ability. "Larry Fitzgerald Jr. is the only person I'd say is comparable," Carter said. "I have never said anybody had better hands than me. No, I haven't seen that. Catching the football is a gift. You can't teach that. But Larry is the only one that's comparable."
Tue, 22 Jan 2013 10:37:34 -0800 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald will play in the 2013 Pro Bowl for the NFC squad this weekend as a replacement for Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall (hip). This will be Fitzgerald's seventh Pro Bowl selection, which is the most by an offensive player in Cardinals history.
Sat, 29 Dec 2012 18:02:43 -0800 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald shrugged off how difficult it was to have had four different quarterbacks when asked about it this week. "Probably not as difficult as it would be to play with six," Fitzgerald said. Despite just 69 grabs for 785 yards, a down year by his standards, Fitzgerald was named a Pro Bowl alternate.
Sun, 23 Dec 2012 20:20:06 -0800 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald had eight receptions for 111 yards in the Week 16 game against the Chicago Bears, his most receiving yards since a season-best 114 yards back in Week 3. He has just 89 yards over his past five games combined.
Sun, 16 Dec 2012 18:10:08 -0800 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald had four catches for just 22 yards in the Week 15 game against the Detroit Lions. Fantasy Tip: Even in victory, Fitzgerald did very little. He has just six catches for 67 yards over the past four games, making him a candidate for the waiver wire if not for his past production and big name. Really, fantasy owners can no longer depend on him in their playoff games if they are still alive.
Tue, 11 Dec 2012 16:12:16 -0800 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald doesn't think the team has quit on their season, despite his father thinking otherwise. "We're professionals. That will never happen," Fitzgerald said. "We're going to continue to play. We're going to continue to practice. We're going to continue to prepare every week like we would if we had won nine games in a row. That's not going to change. We're not going to quit." Fitzgerald had just one catch for two yards in Week 14 and has only 652 yards on the season.
Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:38:58 -0800 Seattle Seahawks CB Walter Thurmond had three tackles, including one for a loss, and held Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald to only one catch for two yards in Week 14. Fitzgerald was thrown to 11 times in the contest. It was Thurmond's first start of the season, playing in CB Brandon Browner's absence. "It felt like right before I got injured last year," Thurmond said. "I felt real comfortable. It was just football out there today. I really felt back into the groove of things."
Mon, 10 Dec 2012 08:58:47 -0800 Arizona Cardinals quarterbacks were 1-for-11 for 2 yards and three interceptions targeting WR Larry Fitzgerald in Week 14. In the last four weeks, Fitzgerald has as many receptions (six) as his quarterbacks have interceptions (six) on his targets.
Fri, 07 Dec 2012 18:16:13 -0800 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald expects to be shadowed by Seattle Seahawks CB Richard Sherman in the Week 14 game, as CB Brandon Browner is serving a suspension. "I would anticipate that, if I were a betting man," Fitzgerald said Friday, Dec. 7.
Sun, 25 Nov 2012 21:22:44 -0800 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald posted three receptions for 31 yards in the Week 12 loss against the St. Louis Rams. Fantasy Tip: Fitzgerald has posted just four catches for 42 yards over his past two games, and he has found the end zone only once in the past five games. He also has just one 100-yard game this season, and that happened way back in Week 3. As such, he is best used as a WR2/3 or flex play until the team's QB play improves.
Tue, 13 Nov 2012 12:30:29 -0800 Arizona Cardinals WR Early Doucet will likely be the odd-man out with WR Michael Floyd expected to become a bigger part of the offense in the second half of the season. WR Andre Roberts will likely line up opposite WR Larry Fitzgerald in the team's two-receiver sets, but Floyd is a prototypical outside receiver in three-wide sets. "If Mike played more, he's just learning the 'Z' (position) and I would be forced to go into the slot," Roberts said. "I don't know what that would do to my reps. We have a whole bunch of formations. We'll see."
Mon, 29 Oct 2012 20:56:59 -0700 Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (head, eye) posted five catches for 52 yards in Week 8 against the San Francisco 49ers. He left the game on two occasions, once due to a head injury and league-mandated concussion testing, and another time after getting something in his eye.
Mon, 29 Oct 2012 19:40:46 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (eye) went down face-first in the end zone on an incompletion in the third quarter and left the game for attention on the sidelines, apparently after getting something in his eye.
Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:46:25 -0700 Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (head) reportedly looked all right at halftime of the Week 8 game against the San Francisco 49ers after leaving briefly in the first half due to a head injury. However, he was monitored by the medical staff during the break.
Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:22:26 -0700 Updating a previous report, Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (head) returned to the Week 8 game against the San Francisco 49ers early in the second quarter after passing tests for a possible concussion.
Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:19:17 -0700 Updating a previous reports, Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (head) has been given the standard litany of tests required by the NFL for a possible concussion. He was standing on one foot taking a balance test and he was given ammonia. His return is still up in the air.
Mon, 29 Oct 2012 18:15:49 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald (head) is on the sidelines being tended to by the medical staff after hitting his head on the turf after an incompletion in the first quarter of the Week 8 game against the San Francisco 49ers.
Mon, 22 Oct 2012 12:16:43 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald was not thrown to when he went deep in Week 7 because the Minnesota Vikings kept a safety behind Fitzgerald the entire game. QB John Skelton said he believes future opponents will use that scheme to try to stop Fitzgerald. "I think a lot of teams are going to start looking at it that way and play coverage over the top," Skelton said. "We've got to find other ways to get the ball down the field."
Sun, 14 Oct 2012 18:13:32 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald had team-highs with six receptions and 93 yards in the Week 6 game against the Buffalo Bills. He also found the end zone. Fantasy Tip: After posting just five catches in the first two games, Fitzgerald has racked up at least six catches and 64 yards in each of his past four games.
Sun, 14 Oct 2012 16:54:18 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald passed 10,000 receiving yards for his career in the Week 6 game against the Buffalo Bills. He and San Francisco 49ers WR Randy Moss, who also passed a career milestone Sunday, Oct. 14, are the only played to hit 10K yards before the age of 30. Fitzgerald finished with six grabs for 93 yards and a score.
Sat, 13 Oct 2012 08:07:58 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald needs 48 more receiving yards to reach 10,000 in his career. Fitzgerald has averaged 67.4 yards per game this season, and he has reached or exceeded 48 yards in 95 of his 129 regular-season games (73.6 percent), so he should accomplish the feat in Week 6. Fitzgerald would join San Francisco 49ers WR Randy Moss as the only players in history to amass 10,000 receiving yards before turning 30.
Sat, 13 Oct 2012 05:46:32 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald was fined $7,875 for grabbing the facemask of St. Louis Rams CB Janoris Jenkins in Week 5.
Mon, 01 Oct 2012 11:19:40 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald caught a pass in his 121st straight game in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins, tying the franchise record set by Mel Gray. It is the second longest active streak in the league behind Atlanta Falcons TE Tony Gonzalez (183).
Sun, 30 Sep 2012 18:38:20 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald had a team-high eight receptions for 64 yards and a score in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins. Fantasy Tip: After being blanked in the first two games, Fitzgerald has TDs in back-to-back games. WR Andre Roberts is emerging as a viable threat in the passing game, and that is opening up more chances for Fitzgerald. That's great news for his fantasy owners heading into Week 5 against the St. Louis Rams Thursday, Nov. 4.
Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:01:34 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald has been named NFC Offensive Player of the Week for Week 3.
Sun, 23 Sep 2012 20:35:48 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald posted nine receptions for 114 yards and a touchdown in the Week 3 win against the Philadelphia Eagles. It was Fitzgerald's first 100-yard game of the season, and was a nice bounce-back game after managing just one grab for four yards in Week 2.
Sat, 22 Sep 2012 05:12:37 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald said the Philadelphia Eagles offered the Cardinals a first- and a third-round draft choice for him in 2008. The Cardinals, however, refused to pull the trigger on a deal.
Fri, 21 Sep 2012 12:38:39 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald thinks the team will have more opportunities to get the ball downfield in the team's Week 3 game against the Philadelphia Eagles man coverage.
Tue, 18 Sep 2012 10:30:41 -0700 Arizona Cardinals head coach Ken Whisenhunt said he plans to get WR Larry Fitzgerald more involved in the offense after his star receiver had only one catch for four yards in the team's Week 2 win over the New England Patriots. "Larry is going to have his catches," Whisenhunt said. "We're certainly going to make sure we work on that."
Sun, 16 Sep 2012 21:19:53 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald managed just one catch for four yards in Week 2 against the New England Patriots. That's the fewest yards he's had in a game since 2004, his rookie year. The Patriots double-teamed No. 11 for most of the game, forcing others to beat them.
Wed, 12 Sep 2012 08:14:30 -0700 New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald could arguably go down as one of the league's all-time great receivers. "He does everything well. He's a great, great receiver; will go down as one of the all-time greats and might end up being the best one ever, I don't know," Belichick said. "He has size, quickness, ability to separate and gets open, exceptional hands ... It's very hard to defend him. It's very hard to find him and then it's very hard to defend him."
Sun, 09 Sep 2012 22:32:21 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald posted four receptions for a game-high 63 yards in Week 1 against the Seattle Seahawks. He entered play with 91 or more yards in five of his past eight games against Seattle since the start of the 2008 season.
Fri, 07 Sep 2012 21:15:39 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald posted nine catches and 149 yards in the regular season finale against the Seattle Seahawks, the team's Week 1 opponent. Fitzgerald has 102 receptions for 1,371 yards against the Seahawks, his top marks against any one franchise. Fantasy Tip: Fitzgerald is obviously a great fantasy start any time, but especially so this weekend against Seattle. He has 91 or more receiving yards in five of his past eight games against the Seahawks since the start of the 2008 season.
Fri, 24 Aug 2012 00:30:08 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald had five catches for 91 yards in limited play against the Tennessee Titans Thursday, Aug. 23.
Thu, 16 Aug 2012 07:45:01 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Michael Floyd remains behind WRs Andre Roberts and Early Doucet on the depth chart, and he has played with the reserves through two preseason games. The complementary role should help Floyd ease into the league, according to WR Larry Fitzgerald. "Michael has a unique opportunity," Fitzgerald said. "He's not going to be asked to carry the full load. He'll have a nice complementary role until he gets comfortable in there and he can get featured more and more. He's confident in his ability, and that's what I really like about him."
Thu, 09 Aug 2012 08:07:03 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald has been helping WR Michael Floyd throughout the offseason and training camp to help him adapt to pro life and be an instant contributor to the offense. "One of the things you really like about Larry, and where he's grown tremendously over the years, is his leadership ability with the younger players," head coach Ken Whisenhunt said. "He recognizes that Michael Floyd is a young talent, he can help our team and (Larry's) working hard to make sure that Michael understands what he needs to be a good player and make a contribution for us in his first year."
Sat, 21 Jul 2012 07:43:04 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Andre Roberts is the favorite to start opposite WR Larry Fitzgerald at wide receiver.
Wed, 18 Jul 2012 09:02:44 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald said Wednesday, July 18, that Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson is a superior fantasy option than Fitzgerald due to their quarterback situations.
Wed, 18 Jul 2012 05:46:58 -0700 Denver Broncos QB Peyton Manning is the highest-paid player in the league in terms of annual salary plus endorsements. His $13 million in endorsements put him at $31 million overall, ahead of Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald ($26.25 million), Buffalo Bills DL Mario Williams ($25.5 million) and Detroit Lions WR Calvin Johnson ($22.25 million.)
Tue, 17 Jul 2012 22:07:36 -0700 Cincinnati Bengals WR A.J. Green recently worked out with Arizona Cardinals Pro Bowl WR Larry Fitzgerald. The veteran has helped a number of young receivers prepare for the season with his grueling workouts. Green played in a variety of spots during offseason workouts, including the slot.
Mon, 16 Jul 2012 05:27:48 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald will turn 29 in the preseason and he acknowledges that he is on the downside of his career. As a result, Fitzgerald sees his window of opportunity to win closing. "I don't have another eight, nine years to play. I would love to, but realistically, that's not going to happen. So the window of opportunity is short, and that's another reason why I talked to Michael (Floyd), why I talk to Andre (Roberts)," Fitzgerald said. "I tell them, 'Before you know it, you're going to look down and find gray hair in your beard. You're going to be sore in parts that were never sore before. It changes that fast, and I never realized that before. So I need your best right now.' Adrian (Wilson) is telling the defense the same thing, getting everyone to buy in because we need to make it happen now."
Thu, 12 Jul 2012 05:27:00 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald has been pushing WR Michael Floyd to get his offseason training regimen into gear. Fitzgerald scolded Floyd via Twitter for skipping workouts; however, Floyd appeared to have received the message as he has resumed workouts this week.
Tue, 10 Jul 2012 21:53:01 -0700 Arizona Cardinals rookie WR Michael Floyd showed up to WR Larry Fitzgerald's camp Tuesday, July 10. The workouts are taking place in Minnesota. "I know (Fitzgerald) wants the best for me and every time I'm out here with him, I work hard," Floyd said.
Sat, 30 Jun 2012 20:27:51 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR LaRon Byrd, an undrafted rookie free agent, had a strong showing at organized team activities (OTAs) and minicamp. In his hometown back in Louisiana, people nicknamed him "Little Fitzgerald." Now, he is playing alongside WR Larry Fitzgerald, a player he idolized growing up. The two have struck up a friendship, and the Pro Bowler has taken the rookie under his wing. Byrd turned heads in minicamp, making several impressive catches, but he still has an uphill battle to make the club in training camp and the preseason.
Thu, 28 Jun 2012 06:58:31 -0700 Arizona Cardinals WR Larry Fitzgerald said he is happy to be considered among the best players in the league; however, after eight seasons, Fitzgerald is in search of a championship. "I've completed eight NFL seasons, and while I am somewhat satisfied with personal achievements, I have come close only once to achieving the ultimate team goal," Fitzgerald wrote on his Facebook page. "Being a productive wide receiver is no longer enough. I've grown into a position of leadership as a Cardinals team captain and have tried to expand my role as a mentor and example for our core of young players. My sincere hope is that we can get back to the playoffs on a regular basis and become Super Bowl Champions."
