Larry Fitzgerald Fantasy News 2013/14

[HacheMan]

Appearing on GameDay Morning, NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) is "tentatively" expected to play versus the Lions.

This will be just one of many updates on "Fitzgerald Watch" before the Cardinals and Lions kick off at 4:05 PM ET. Fitzgerald tweaked his hamstring in Wednesday's practice. He put in three limited sessions for the week. We'd expect Fitzgerald to end up playing, but it's a situation to monitor closely.

Jay Glazer reported on the FOX Sports pre-game show that Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) will be about "80 percent" for Sunday's 4:05ET tilt with the Lions.

There are only about 15 NFL receivers we'd take over Fitzgerald at 80-percent health, making him at worst a mid-range WR2. Of course, the hamstring will be susceptible to in-game aggravation, but Cards doctors wouldn't have green-lighted Fitz for a Week 2 game unless they believed he would likely avoid setbacks. Keep him in fantasy lineups. Fitzgerald is in a lot better place than Roddy White, who's about 60 percent with a high ankle sprain.

Larry Fitzgerald (hamstring) remained "full" in Thursday's practice.
"Am I where I want to be? No," Fiztgerald said after practice. "But I'm better than I was, and that's progress." Fitzgerald has been at less than 100 percent all season, but will have had 10 days to heal up by the time Sunday gets here. He's a high-risk, high-reward WR2.
