Cardinals, Team Vibes

  • Good - 11
  • Neutral - 2
  • Bad - 0

Staffers with Good Vibes

  • Chad Parsons: Kyler Murray is (hopefully) healthy and Marvin Harrison Jr. is a notable addition to a lagging wide receiver corps from a year ago.

  • Kyle Bellefeuil: A healthy Kyler Murray and new exciting rookie Marvin Harrison Jr. bring loads of optimism to Arizona.

  • Hutchinson Brown: With Marvin Harrison Jr. coming in along with some good additions on defense through the offseason, there is much to be excited about for the future of this team. They could sneak in a playoff spot as early as this season if Harrison comes through and brings their offense to a high level.

  • Phil Alexander: The Cardinals were plucky in their first season under head coach Jonathan Gannon. With Kyler Murray fully healthy and equipped with a rookie superstar wide receiver, the arrow is pointing up in the desert.

  • Bob Harris: With a healthy Kyler Murray, the addition of Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey Benson, and Trey McBride's emergence last year, the arrow is pointing up for this club.

  • Andy Hicks: They have brought in good new weapons, possibly great. Kyler Murray should be fully fit in the second year of this offense. All signs point to up.

  • Julia Papworth: After still playing their heart out last season with a less-than-desirable roster, the team gets back Kyler Murray, who has fully recovered from his ACL injury, and the future star receiver Marvin Harrison Jr.

  • Corey Spala: Kyler Murray will have a complete season to lead Arizona and their notable weapons to fantasy success.

  • Dave Kluge: Year 2 under Jonathan Gannon, more time removed from Kyler Murray's ACL injury, Trey McBride's ascension, and selections of Marvin Harrison Jr. and Trey Benson all point to an upward trajectory.

  • Justin Howe: Kyler Murray's return to health elevates this offense. And top rookie wideout Marvin Harrison Jr. should provide us with a focused target hog right off the bat.

  • Ryan Weisse: I almost went neutral here, but this offense has startable talent at every fantasy-relevant position. The trio of Kyler Murray, Marvin Harrison Jr., and Trey McBride could be excellent for fantasy production.

Staffers with Neutral Vibes

  • Jason Wood: The Cardinals won 4 games last year yet returned largely the same team save for a few potential impactful rookies, most notably Marvin Harrison Jr. and Darius Robinson. If the team wins two or three more games, as the Vegas win total implies, fans won't feel particularly good about things, but it'll be a step in the right direction.

  • Jeff Bell: The team should be coming off feel-good vibes, given a more competitive-than-expected season, but they had the second-fewest wins in the NFL and play in a loaded division. The offense is set up to impose a physical identity, but the defense lacks playmakers.

Staffers with Bad Vibes

  • None.
