News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts finished with only three catches for 18 yards during Arizona's 27-13 loss to San Francisco in Week 17. Roberts was coming off an outing against Chicago in which he was targeted 12 times -- the second-highest total of the year -- but generated half that amount Sunday (six). Instead, the Cardinals and new quarterback Brian Hoyer relied on rookie Michael Floyd, who posted eight receptions for 166 yards. Roberts did manage higher totals than Larry Fitzgerald (two catches for 13 yards).
Analysis: Roberts' effectiveness plummeted after the first half of the season as he was limited by an ankle injury that forced him to miss a game. He eclipsed 50 receiving yards only once over his past six outings while also failing to reach the end zone after Week 7. It's still early to think about next season, but Floyd may have surpassed Roberts as the leading option opposite Fitzgerald heading into 2013. Fantasy owners should consider Roberts a late-round option only in deeper formats for next year only if he retains his spot in the starting lineup.
News: Arizona wide receiver Andre Roberts had one of his most productive outings of the season during his previous matchup against San Francisco and will attempt to duplicate that performance in Week 17. Roberts posted seven receptions -- his second-highest total of the year -- for 65 yards on 11 targets during a loss to the 49ers in Week 8. San Francisco is still one of the stingiest defenses against the pass this season and ranks fourth in the NFL (199.7 yards allowed per game through the air).
Analysis: Roberts is also coming off a Week 16 outing against Chicago in which he collected 12 targets, one shy of his season high. But he hauled in just five of those passes as his scoreless streak extended to seven games. The 24-year-old will have another quarterback throwing passes to him as Brian Hoyer is the latest player to line up under center for Arizona. With the 49ers permitting a lowly average of 17.2 Fantasy points per game to opposing wideouts this year, Roberts should be left for deeper formats in Week 17.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts saw plenty of passes thrown his way in Week 16 against the Bears but could not make the most of them. He finished with five catches on 12 targets for 44 yards in the 28-13 loss. He had a long reception of 15 and averaged 8.8 yards per grab. Roberts finished third on Arizona in receiving behind Larry Fitzgerald (111 yards) and Michael Floyd (47 yards).
Analysis: Roberts has not been as productive since returning from an ankle injury but the quarterback situation in Arizona has not helped either. Still, he has proved this season that he can be a reliable option in Fantasy, which bodes well for his value in 2013. Heading into Week 17 against the 49ers, however, continue to view the 24-year-old as more of a low-end option in most formats. Roberts caught seven passes for 65 yards against San Francisco earlier in the year.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts has caught just six passes for 58 yards in his two games since returning from an ankle injury. He could be in for another quiet day in Week 16 against the Bears. Chicago ranks sixth in the league in pass defense, giving up under 211 yards per contest, and has allowed an average of 19.6 Fantasy points to opposing wideouts.
Analysis: Roberts has been one of the bigger surprises in Fantasy this season but has not found the end zone since Week 7 and has been slowed by the quarterback struggles in Arizona. He does not have the most favorable matchup for Week 16 either so plan on leaving Roberts for the deepest of Fantasy formats against the Bears.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts recorded three catches for 22 yards during Arizona's 38-10 victory over Detroit in Week 15. Roberts, who also finished with three receptions in his last game at Seattle, collected five targets from quarterback Ryan Lindley. He was active for the second straight game after being listed as probable on the injury report while shaking off an ankle injury
Analysis: Roberts has now been held under 40 receiving yards in three of his past four games, while failing to reach the end zone in that span. He is one of several Cardinals receivers to be adversely affected by Lindley's performance as the leading wideout -- Michael Floyd -- totaled just 37 yards Sunday. Roberts was effective earlier this season with four touchdown in four games, but has dropped to a low-end option in most Fantasy formats heading into Week 16 against Chicago.
News: Arizona wide receiver Andre Roberts (ankle) is active for Week 15 against Detroit after being listed as probable on the team's injury report. Roberts practiced in full last Friday for the first time since being saddled with the injury prior to Week 13, and will face a Lions team that is surrendering an average of 21.2 Fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers on the year.
Analysis: Roberts was hoping to provide a boost to the Cardinals' lagging pass offense last week, but produced only three catches for 36 yards during a loss to Seattle. It served as a rare miss for Roberts during the month of December as he has recorded 100-plus receiving yards or a touchdown in four of his past six games during the month. He has still posted career highs in catches (53), yards (675) and touchdowns (five) this season, and is worth considering as a flex option in deeper Fantasy formats for Week 15.
News: Arizona wide receiver Andre Roberts was listed as probable for Week 15 against Detroit as he continues to dismiss an ankle injury that forced him to miss a game earlier this month. Roberts practiced in full Friday for the first time since being saddled with the injury prior to Week 13 and is expected to remain in the lineup against the Lions, who rank 14th in the NFL against the pass this season (227.4 yards allowed per game). Detroit is also surrendering an average of 21.2 Fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers on the year.
Analysis: Roberts was hoping to provide a boost to the Cardinals' lagging pass offense, but produced only three catches for 36 yards during a loss to Seattle in Week 14. It served as a rare miss for Roberts during the month of December as he has recorded 100-plus receiving yards or a touchdown in four of his past six games during the month. He has still posted career highs in catches (53), yards (675) and touchdowns (five), and is worth considering as a flex option in deeper Fantasy formats for Week 15.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts sat out the previous contest due to an ankle injury but was able to return in Week 14 against the Seahawks. He finished with three catches for 36 yards in the 58-0 loss. He had a long reception of 24 and averaged 12 yards per grab. Roberts was targeted five times in the defeat.
Analysis: The quarterback struggles in Arizona continue to hinder their receivers but Roberts has had a career campaign in his third season out of The Citadel. He has 53 catches for 675 yards thus far with five touchdowns. The 24-year-old has become a decent option in Fantasy as a result and should be able to find some open room in the secondary next week against the Lions. Consider Roberts as more of a low-end Fantasy wideout for Week 15.
News: After missing the previous game due to an ankle injury, Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts has been ruled active for Week 14 against the Seahawks. He was able to practice on a limited basis Friday after sitting out earlier in the week. Seattle ranks fifth in the league in pass defense, giving up under 203 yards per game, and has limited opposing wideouts to an average of 15.7 Fantasy points.
Analysis: Roberts caught five passes for 54 yards and a touchdown when he faced Seattle earlier in the year. He has become a viable option in Fantasy in his third season out of The Citadel so consider him as a viable option in deeper formats against the Seahawks.
News: After missing the previous two days due to an ankle injury, Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts practice on a limited basis Friday and was listed on the injury report as questionable for Week 14 against the Seahawks. Roberts sat out Week 13 due to the ankle issue. Roberts caught five passes for 54 yards and a touchdown when he faced Seattle earlier in the year.
Analysis: Roberts practicing on Friday bodes well for his status for Week 14 but owners will have to keep an eye out for inactives before getting him active in Fanatsy. Seattle ranks fifth in the league in pass defense, giving up under 203 yards per game, and has limited opposing wideouts to an average of 15.7 Fantasy points. Roberts has become a viable option in Fantasy in his third season out of The Citadel but owners would be better off looking for a healthier option for Sunday.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts was unable to practice for the second consecutive day Thursday as he continues to deal with a lingering ankle issue. The Cardinals play the Seahawks in Week 14. Roberts caught five passes for 54 yards and a touchdown when he faced Seattle earlier in the year.
Analysis: Roberts sat out Week 13 due to the injury and could miss more time if unable to get back on the practice field. Friday will likely be his last chance to prove that he can play, so we'll keep an eye on his status leading up to Week 14. Seattle ranks fifth in the league in pass defense, giving up under 203 yards per game, and has limited opposing wideouts to an average of 15.7 Fantasy points. Roberts has become a viable option in Fantasy in his third season out of The Citadel but owners would be better off looking for a healthier option for Week 14.
News: Arizona wide receiver Andre Roberts was unable to practice Wednesday as he continued to deal with an ankle injury. The Cardinals play the Seahawks in Week 14. Seattle ranks fifth in the league in pass defense, giving up under 203 yards per game, and has limited opposing wideouts to an average of 15.7 Fantasy points.
Analysis: Roberts sat out Week 13 due to the injury and could miss more time if unable to get back on the practice field. Keep an eye on his status leading up to Sunday as he caught five passes for 54 yards and a touchdown when he faced Seattle earlier in the year. Roberts has become a viable option in Fantasy in his third season out of The Citadel but owners would be better off looking for a healthier option for Week 14.
News: Arizona wide receiver Andre Roberts was a surprise inactive for Week 13 at the Jets because of a troublesome ankle injury. Roberts was listed as questionable on the team's injury report after not being able to participate in practice last week. It's the first game of the season Roberts will miss because of an injury, and he will be replaced in the starting lineup by rookie Michael Floyd.
Analysis: Roberts was coming off a dominant performance in his previous game when he tallied a season-high nine receptions for 92 yards in a loss to St. Louis. The strong showing moved him past Larry Fitzgerald for the team lead in receiving yards (639 to 627) as he continues to shine in his third season. However, he will use Week 13 to rest his ailing ankle in the hopes he can return next Sunday at Seattle. He should be left on the bench only in deeper Fantasy formats for now.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts was absent from practice for the third consecutive day Friday as he continues to deal with a lingering ankle injury he suffered in his previous game. Roberts was considered questionable on the injury report and his status for Sunday's game is uncertain. If active, he will be facing a New York pass defense that ranks seventh in the NFL and is allowing just 211.3 yards through the air this season.
Analysis: Roberts is coming off a dominant performance in his previous game when he tallied a season-high nine receptions for 92 yards in a loss to St. Louis. The strong showing moved him past Larry Fitzgerald for the team lead in receiving yards (639 to 627) as he continues to shine in his third season. Roberts also has five touchdown on the year while benefiting from the additional coverage opponents place on Fitzgerald. But with his injury, coupled with the Jets' stinginess against receivers (17.6 Fantasy points allowed per game), but Fantasy owners should bank on healthier options for Week 13.
News: Cardinals receiver Andre Roberts was unable to return to practice Thursday because of an ankle injury, missing a second straight session as the team prepares for Week 13 at N.Y. Jets.
Analysis: The fact Roberts missed another practice is concerning. If he sits out again Friday, then his chances of playing Sunday is in doubt. Continue to keep tabs on his progress. If active, Roberts is a low-end Fantasy start for Week 13.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts did not practice Wednesday because of an ankle injury. The Cardinals are at N.Y. Jets Week 13.
Analysis: Roberts banged up his ankle Week 12, but he finished out the game. Perhaps he is having some residual effects, which is why he didn't practice Wednesday. If he continues to miss practice, then it will be cause for concern. Continue to keep tabs on his progress. If active, Roberts is a low-end Fantasy start for Week 13.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts was one of the few bright spots on his team in Week 12 against the Rams. He gained 92 yards on a season-high nine catches and also had a 13-yard run in the 31-17 loss. He had a long reception of 21 and averaged 10.2 yards per grab. Roberts, who was targeted a team-high 13 times, led Arizona in receiving in the defeat.
Analysis: Roberts had caught just five passes for 93 yards in the previous two contests so it was nice to see him get back on track Sunday. He has already set new career marks in receiving yards (639) and touchdowns (five) thus far and is two catches away from surpassing the 51 he posted a year ago. While the starting quarterback could change again going forward, the 24-year-old has been productive no matter no ends up under center. Roberts has become a viable option in Fantasy in his third season out of The Citadel and should remain active in deeper formats heading into Week 13 against the Jets.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts heads into Week 12 against the Rams coming off his worst performance of the season. He posted just a 7-yard catch last week and will have rookie Ryan Lindley throwing his way Sunday as he replaces John Skelton as the starter for Arizona. St. Louis ranks 14th in the league in pass defense, giving up over 222 yards per game, and has allowed an average of 19.4 Fantasy points to opposing wideouts. Roberts caught five passes for 39 yards and also had a 3-yard run when he faced the division foe earlier in the year.
Analysis: Roberts has been one of the bigger surprises in Fantasy this season but the quarterback situation in Arizona does not bode well for him going forward. Lindley will be making his first career start Sunday and completed just 9 of 20 passes for 64 yards after taking over for Skelton last week. While the Rams have surrendered nine touchdowns to wide receivers thus far, owners should leave Roberts for the deepest of Fantasy formats for Week 12.
News: On a day when the Cardinals were unwilling to suffer through another mediocre performance by starting quarterback John Skelton, making the switch to rookie Ryan Lindley in the second quarter, Andre Roberts, along with the rest of the receiving corps, paid the price Week 11 at Atlanta. Lindley went 9 for 20 for 64 yards on the day. No receiver had as many as 30 yards. Roberts had one catch for 7 yards, though he was targeted five times.
Analysis: Coming into the game, the biggest concern for Roberts was whether or not he's lose targets to rookie wide receiver Michael Floyd. Now, he has to worry about another rookie. Lindley showed he's not the solution to the Cardinals' quarterback woes, so maybe the team will make another switch heading into Week 12 against the Rams. With the whole passing game in flux, though, Roberts looks like a player to avoid in Fantasy no matter which way the Cardinals decide to go.
News: Though Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt has said rookie wide receiver Michael Floyd will get more playing time, he recently confirmed that it won't come at the expense of No. 2 wide receiver Andre Roberts. “We’ve got some receivers who are playing pretty good in front of [Floyd]," Whisenhunt told the team's official website. "Andre’s got what? How many touchdowns? He’s playing pretty good. So what do you do, play him over Andre?" Roberts has five touchdown receptions on the season, but only one in his last five games. Still, he's averaging 6.0 catches and 84.7 receiving yards over his last three and has a good chance of maintaining those numbers Week 11 at Atlanta. The Falcons don't exactly struggle against the pass -- they rank a modest 19th, allowing 235.8 yards per game -- but because they average 27.4 points per game, the Cardinals will have to lean on the pass in order to keep pace.
Analysis: Roberts hasn't been the most reliable Fantasy option this season, but with the Cardinals getting more consistent quarterback play from John Skelton in recent weeks, Roberts has gotten a little steadier. You still probably wouldn't want to start him in an unfavorable matchup, like against the Seahawks or the 49ers, but he's a serviceable option for a matchup like this one. Just don't hold your breath on him scoring a touchdown. The Cardinals as a whole generally don't score much.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts had a team-high 86 receiving yards on four receptions Week 9 at Green Bay. Roberts' longest reception was a 40-yard catch to the Green Bay 3-yard line in the second quarter. He was targeted seven times.
Analysis: Roberts has had a good run the last three weeks since John Skelton has taken over at quarterback for the injured Kevin Kolb. Roberts has 18 catches for 254 yards and one touchdown since Week 7. The Cardinals' top receiver is still Larry Fitzgerald, but Roberts is emerging as a reliable threat as well. He could be used in deep Fantasy formats when the Cardinals return to action Week 11 at Atlanta. Arizona is on a bye Week 10.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts heads into Week 9 at Green Bay with seven touchdowns in his last 12 games. However, he has struggled to score lately with just one touchdown in his last four games. Wide receivers have totaled seven receiving touchdowns against the Packers, but just one in the last three games. Wide receivers are averaging 179.5 receiving yards and 22.3 Fantasy points per week against Green Bay.
Analysis: Roberts has re-emerged as a viable Fantasy option again because he has been one of John Skelton's favorite the last two games. Roberts has 14 catches for 168 yards and one touchdown since Skelton became the starting quarterback again in the wake of Kevin Kolb's latest injury. Roberts has a little more value in PPR formats, but he is certainly worth a look as a flex option Week 9.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts led his team in receiving in Week 8 against the 49ers. After gaining just 18 yards on two grabs in the first half, he finished with seven catches for 65 yards in the 24-3 loss. He had a long reception of 20 and averaged 9.3 yards per catch. Roberts was targeted 11 times -- tied for the team lead -- in the defeat.
Analysis: Roberts continues to be one of the bigger surprises in Fantasy this season as he has already posted a career-high five touchdowns and his 454 yards receiving puts him 133 yards away from surpassing his mark from a year ago. While the 24-year-old can be hit-or-miss in Fantasy at times, he has become a serious threat in the red zone and has stepped up when opponents double team All-Pro wideout Larry Fitzgerald. With the Packers up next on the schedule, consider Roberts a viable low-end Fantasy option for Week 9.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts has scored seven touchdowns in his last 11 games but could have a hard time finding the end zone in Week 8 against the 49ers. San Francisco boasts the best pass defense in the NFL, giving up fewer than 174 yards per game, and has limited opposing wideouts to an average of just 14.7 Fantasy points. In two games against the division foe last season, Roberts caught five passes for 59 yards and a touchdown.
Analysis: Roberts already has more touchdowns this season than he posted in his first two years in the league and is coming off his fourth career 100-yard performance in Week 7. His ability to find the end zone has given him value in Fantasy but the 24-year-old could be in for a letdown against the 49ers. San Francisco has surrendered just two touchdowns to wideouts thus far and has a solid pass rush that should be able to terrorize John Skelton. Consider Roberts as more of a flex option in deeper formats for Week 8.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts caught seven passes for 103 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-14 loss to the Vikings. He was targeted a team-high nine times. All but 30 of Roberts' yards came in the fourth quarter, with John Skelton looking to him often as the Cardinals mounted a comeback attempt.
Analysis: Roberts had been relatively quiet contributor the last two weeks, catching seven total passes for 57 yards, but he exploded in the fourth quarter on Sunday, and followed a trend we pointed out earlier in the week -- that Minnesota has a tendency to give up the most yardage to their opponents' supplemental receivers. The Cardinals face the 49ers in Week 8, and San Francisco has allowed just 183.4 receiving yards per game, the lowest number in the NFL this season. The fact that Roberts gained most of his yards in the fourth quarter doesn't exactly bode well for him as a steady target, and he remains the team's No. 2 option behind Larry Fitzgerald, so he may be better bench depth than a starting option next Sunday. Still, the fact that he caught seven of his nine targets was a promising step in the right direction.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts, who started the season with four touchdowns and two double-digit Fantasy games in his first four games, has been a virtual non-factor since his Week 4 six-catch, 118-yard, two-touchdown game against the Dolphins. Over the last two weeks, Roberts has caught seven total passes for 57 yards and no touchdowns, for an average of two points per game.
Analysis: Roberts does have 15 targets in his last two games, so it's not like he's been totally eliminated from the offense. And the Minnesota defense has one peculiar trend that works in Roberts' favor: so far this year, they have allowed the supplemental receivers to lead the opposing team. Week 1: Cecil Shorts had 74 yards and a touchdown; Week 2: Donnie Avery caught nine passes for 111 yards; Week 3: Mario Manningham caught five passes for 56 yards; Week 4: Joique Bell and Brandon Pettigrew had 72 and 67 receiving yards, respectively; Week 5: Kendall Wright caught nine passes for 66 yards; and Week 6: Santana Moss had 46 yards receiving. So while Roberts has played himself down to a desperation flex play, he might end up being a better option than, say, a time-sharing RB, especially in a week with so many teams on bye.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts was not much of a factor in Week 6 against the Bills. Roberts finished with just two receptions for 18 yards in the 16-13 overtime win and was unable to get in the end zone for the third straight game. He also left briefly in the second quarter with an apparent injury but was able to quickly able to return and finish out the contest. Larry Fitzgerald led the Cardinals with six receptions for 93 yards and a TD.
Analysis: Roberts was targeted six times Sunday -- the second most on the team -- but was unable make much of an impact vs. the Bills. The team did also not offer type of injury update on the 24-year-old, so owners should keep an eye on his status over the next few days to make sure he doesn't land on the injury report. After racking up 15 receptions for 229 yards and four TDs over his first four games, Roberts has gone ice-cold. He has just seven catches for 57 yards over his last two contests and has not scored over that stretch. However, he remains Arizona's No. 2 option in the passing game so he should see plenty of passes thrown in his direction in Week 7 against the Vikings. However, with Kevin Kolb suffering a ribs injury, no one is sure who will be throwing to him next week. Whether it is Kolb or John Skelton, owners should consider Roberts more of a low-end option heading into his next matchup.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts enjoys playing at University of Phoenix Stadium, which is the site of Arizona's Week 6 matchup against the Bills. Roberts has hauled in 14 of his 20 receptions on the year at home this season, including three of his four touchdowns catches. He has also five receiving TDs over his last six home games and now looks to have a favorable matchup against a Buffalo secondary that is surrendering 278 passing yards per contest. The Bills have allowed 12 touchdowns through the air while yielding an average of 29.6 Fantasy points to opposing WRs.
Analysis: Roberts has been one of the more pleasant surprises in Fantasy thus far, especially when he plays at home. The 29-year-old has hauled in six TDs over his last nine games and looks well on his way toward putting up career numbers in Arizona this season. He now looks to have a fairly favorable matchup against the Bills, who have surrendered over 1,200 yards and 97 combined points over their last two games. 10 of the 12 TDs Buffalo has surrendered through the air have been hauled in by opposing wideouts, which could translate into a big day for Roberts. Fantasy owners should consider Roberts a viable low-end option heading into Week 6.
News: Coming off a breakout, two-touchdown game, there was plenty of interest in seeing how Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts would follow it up in Week 5 against the Rams. Unfortunately, St. Louis held him in check Thursday, limiting him to just 39 yards receiving on five catches and no touchdowns. He also had a single rush for 3 yards, in a 17-3 loss.
Analysis: Roberts is still well on his way to his finest season, having already established a new career high with four touchdowns through five games. He has 20 catches for 268 yards through five games, putting him on pace for 64 catches and 858 yards, both of which would be his finest marks for a season by a significant margin. It remains to be seen whether he can keep this kind of performance up moving forward, however the Cardinals face a very poor Bills defense in Week 6. Buffalo has allowed the fifth-most Fantasy points to opposing wide receivers, so consider Roberts a viable low-end Fantasy option for the upcoming matchup.
News: Through four games this season, the Cardinals wide receiver who leads the NFL in touchdowns isn't the player many onlookers would suspect. But Andre Roberts, not Larry Fitzgerald, currently sits atop the league with four touchdowns -- tied with three other tight ends for the spot -- after his two-score performance against Miami last Sunday. He will attempt to reach the end zone again during Week 5 at St. Louis, which has surrendered just one touchdown to opposing receivers this season (Washington's Leonard Hankerson in Week 2).
Analysis: Roberts also produced a career-high 118 yards against the Dolphins -- his third career 100-yard outing -- and has seemingly cemented his role as the Cardinals' secondary receiver behind Fitzgerald. The third-year wideout is now averaging 15.3 yards per catch, boosted by a long reception of 46 yards last Sunday. The Rams are tough against receivers, permitting an average of just 14.5 Fantasy points per game this season. But Roberts has developed into a quality flex option in deeper Fantasy formats for Week 5.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts hauled in a pair of touchdown passes in Week 4 against the Dolphins. Roberts was on the receiving end of a 46-yard scoring strike from Kevin Kolb in the third quarter, which capped off a three-play, 81-yard scoring drive. He was also on the receiving end of a 15-yard strike from Kolb in the waning moments of the fourth quarter, which sent the game to overtime. Roberts finished with six receptions for a team-high 118 yards and two scores in the 24-21 overtime win. He was targeted nine times and averaged 19.7 yards per reception.
Analysis: Roberts has been a touchdown machine over the first few weeks of the season as he already has a career-high four scores after just four games. While Larry Fitzgerald continues to be the Cardinals top option in the passing game, Kolb has been looking in the 24-year-old's direction quite frequently thus far. His 25 targets rank second behind Fitzgerald and he already has 18 receptions 229 receiving yards, which puts him well ahead of his pace from last season. Roberts appears primed for a breakout season, so Fantasy owners may want to think about scooping him before Arizona takes on St. Louis in Week 5. Consider Roberts a viable low-end option in most formats when he faces the Rams.
News: Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts will be looking to get back in the end zone in Week 4 against the Dolphins. Roberts has hauled in a pair of touchdown receptions on the season and finished with three receptions for 55 yards in Arizona's win over the Eagles last week. Miami enters the contest ranked 27th in pass defense, allowing an average of 307 passing yards per game. The Dolphins have surrendered three touchdowns through the air while yielding an average of 21 Fantasy points to opposing WRs on the season.
Analysis: Roberts has already matched his career high with two touchdowns on the year and has been a big part of Arizona's offense in the early going. However, as long as Larry Fitzgerald is on the field he will continue to see the majority of the targets, which will continue to limit Roberts' production most weeks. While he looks to have somewhat of a favorable matchup this week, only owners in deeper formats should consider rolling with Roberts as a low-end option against Miami.

News: After finding the end zone in each of the first two games this season, Cardinals wide receiver Andre Roberts did not have the same success in Week 3 against the Eagles. He caught three passes for 55 yards in the 27-6 win. He was targeted six times by Kevin Kolb in the contest and had a long reception of 29 yards. The catch could have gone for more but the play was brought back due to a penalty. Roberts finished second on Arizona in receiving behind Larry Fitzgerald (114 yards) in the victory.
Analysis: Roberts is coming off a career campaign and could be in for even better numbers this season. He already has nine grabs for 111 yards through three games and is turning into a reliable receiver for Arizona. Roberts is worth a look in the deepest of Fantasy formats for Week 4 against Miami but should remain on waivers in the majority of leagues.
News: For the second straight game, wide receiver Andre Roberts contributed a touchdown Week 2 at New England, scoring on a 2-yard toss from quarterback Kevin Kolb in the third quarter. It was Roberts' only catch -- or target -- of the day, though.
Analysis: Roberts was a little more involved in the offense last week, catching five passes (on nine targets) for 54 yards. Of course, the Cardinals had a different quarterback under center for this game. The Cardinals have had a hard enough time sustaining top wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald this season, so you shouldn't expect Roberts to make a significant contribution in Fantasy. He's worth a look in deeper leagues because of the touchdowns, but he should remain on waivers in most for Week 3 against the Eagles.
News:Andre Roberts showed some late game heroics during Sunday's opener against the Seahawks in Week 1. After starting quarterback John Skelton was carted off the field with an ankle injury, Kevin Kolb led the Cardinals to a game-winning drive that resulted in a six-yard strike to Roberts in the end zone in a 20-16 comeback victory. Roberts caught five of nine targeted passes for 54 yards and a touchdown. He also showed some elusiveness as he took an end-around for 15 yards.
Analysis: Roberts is coming off a career season in 2011 and could emerge as the team's second receiver, even though they selected rookie Michael Floyd in the first round. he showed some of that big-play ability that Fantasy owners saw last year in an end-around on Sunday. The fact that the Cardinals may have to shuffle through quarterbacks now that Skelton is injured, could hurt his production. We'll have to monitor his production moving forward. He is not worth starting against the patriots in Week 2, but could be worth adding in deeper Fantasy formats.
News: The Cardinals went with a surprise focal point in their offense Thursday against the Titans, as third-year receiver Andre Roberts was targeted a team-high nine times. He brought in five catches for 32 yards and the lone receiving touchdown of the game. Roberts was inactive for the team’s previous preseason game, but he seems to have a firm grip on the No. 2 receiver job, over rookie Michael Floyd, who had just two catches on four targets.
Analysis: Roberts is coming off a year in which he posted career highs in receptions (51) and yards (586), and he is a classic third-year breakout candidate. Of course, his ability to break out and post decent numbers will depend largely on production from the quarterback position, which could limit him. For now, it looks like Roberts has emerged as the leader in the battle for the second starting spot, making him worthy of a late-round pick in Fantasy PPR formats, as he has some upside.
News: Cardinals receiver Andre Roberts caught two passes for 14 yards in Sunday's Hall of Fame game against the Saints. He was targeted four times in the 17-10 defeat finished with a long of 11 yards. Rookie receiver Micahel Floyd finished one reception for 15 yards in the loss.
Analysis: Roberts continues to battle with Floyd for the Cardinals other starting receiver spot opposite Larry Fitzgerald and by all accounts has been able to hang onto his spot thus far. However, this is a battle that could end up lasting throughout the entire preseason, so Fantasy owners will have to keep an eye on the situation moving forward. Roberts finished with career highs in receptions (51) and yards (586) last year while finding the end zone twice. The 24-year-old does have some upside and could be worth a late-round pick in Fantasy PPR formats if he winds up starting.
News: In a move that might not last into the regular season, the Cardinals listed Andre Roberts as a starting wide receiver on their depth chart Monday, the team's official website reports. Roberts finished with career highs in receptions (51) and yards (586) during his second season last year. He has reportedly shined during offseason workouts, but could still ultimately be supplanted by rookie Michael Floyd prior to Week 1 of the season.
Analysis: Roberts benefited from opposing defenses placing additional coverage on star receiver Larry Fitzgerald last season for an average of 11.5 yards per catch. Arizona envisions Early Doucet in the slot this year, but Roberts could also see some time in that role if he is bumped off the line in favor of Floyd. The 24-year-old, who is entering his third NFL season, isn't a major scoring threat and hauled in two touchdown passes last season -- both in the last four weeks. Roberts holds some upside and could be worth a late-round pick in Fantasy PPR formats if he starts.
News: ESPN.com reports that the Cardinals will likely move receiver Andre Roberts to the slot as the No. 3 receiver behind Larry Fitzgerald and rookie Michael Floyd. The report says "Floyd's arrival signals Roberts' move to the slot, where the Cardinals think he's ideally suited."
Analysis: Roberts played well for the Cardinals in 2011, but Floyd has more upside and talent. Keep an eye on what happens with Roberts and his move to the slot, but he should not be drafted in the majority of leagues. He might be worth a late-round flier in deep PPR leagues.
News: Notre Dame wideout Michael Floyd was the top pick of the Arizona Cardinals, 13th overall, in the 2012 NFL Draft. He will likely start ahead of Andre Roberts and Early Doucet this year.
Analysis: Roberts played well for the Cardinals in 2011, but Floyd has more upside and talent. Keep an eye on what happens with Roberts, but he should not be drafted in the majority of leagues.
News: Arizona WR Andre Roberts posted six receptions for 75 yards during the Cardinals' 23-16 loss at Cincinnati in Week 16. Roberts finished with six catches for the second game in a row as he averaged 12.5 yards per reception. He finished with 10 targets from QB John Skelton.
Analysis: Roberts was the second-most targeted receiver for Arizona on Saturday as he finished with one less look than WR Larry Fitzgerald (11). Roberts has seemingly overtaken WR Early Doucet as the team's secondary receiving threat with his recent production and has amassed 254 yards in his past four outings with two touchdowns. Consider him a low-end Fantasy WR option for the remainder of the season.
News: Arizona WR Andre Roberts caught six passes for 60 yards in Week 15 against Cleveland. He would score on a 9-yard pass from QB John Skelton just before halftime. Roberts was targeted a team-high 10 times on the day. Roberts also gained 7 yards on a run play in the second half. The Cardinals would win the game, 20-17, in overtime.
Analysis: Roberts and the Cards overcame a tough Browns defense on Sunday. He has scored in two straight games and will try to make it three in Week 16 when the Cardinals face the Bengals. Cincinnati has been allowing 214 passing yards per contest this season. Cincinnati has allowed 18 touchdowns through the air in 14 games. Despite his solid performances lately, Roberts is still a low-end WR option in all Fantasy leagues.
News: Arizona WR Andre Roberts scored his first touchdown of the season last weekend and will look to keep that trend going in Week 15 against Cleveland. The Browns boast the second-best pass defense in the league allowing 180.7 passing yards per game. The Browns have given up just 13 passing touchdowns as well, which averages out to one per contest. They also allow a league-low 13.62 Fantasy points per game to opposing team's receivers.
Analysis: Roberts had just two catches last weekend, but he made them count. With John Skelton likely remaining the quarterback for the Cards, the team should lean on Beanie Wells and the running game. In four November games with Skelton as quarterback, Roberts had 14 catches for 175 yards. At this stage of the season, Fantasy owners should not be starting Roberts.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts was able to haul in his first receiving touchdown of the season in Week 14 against the 49ers. Roberts was on the receiving end of a 3-yard touchdown strike from John Skelton in the fourth quarter. He finished with just two receptions for 8 yards in the 21-19 victory, while being targeted five times.
Analysis: Last week Roberts racked up a career high in receiving yards, but was unable to get in the end zone. This week, Roberts was finally able to find the end zone, but unable to rack up any yards. Still, it was nice to finally see the 23-year-old score a touchdown, which is something he had only done twice prior to Sunday. However, Roberts production has been very inconsistent this season, making it tough to start him most weeks. With the playoffs now here in most formats, owners should seek other options heading into Week 15 against the Browns.
News: After posting a career-high 111 receiving yards last week against the Cowboys, Cardinals WR Andre Roberts will be looking for another big-time performance in Week 14 against the 49ers. San Francisco enters Sunday's contest ranked contest ranked 16th in pass defense, allowing 232 yards per game. The 49ers have surrendered 15 touchdowns through the air and are allowing an average of 20.2 Fantasy points to opposing WRs on the season. Roberts hauled in three receptions for 51 yards in the teams' meeting back in Week 10.
Analysis: While Roberts had himself a career day last week against the Cowboys, his overall production has been very inconsistent this year. He has only caught more than four passes in a game twice this season and is still looking for his first touchdown. With the playoffs now here in most Fantasy formats, owners should consider Roberts merely a low-end No. 4 WR heading into Week 14.
News: For the second time in his career Arizona WR Andre Roberts went over the century mark receiving. Ironically both his big games have come against Dallas. Roberts caught all six passes thrown his way for a career-high 111 yards in Week 13. The Cardinals would go on to win the game, 19-13.
Analysis: Roberts seems to thrive against the Cowboys, so it is unfortunate that they don't play each other more often. Roberts got QB Kevin Kolb back on Sunday and it definitely seemed to elevate his game. The Cardinals face the 49ers in Week 14, which isn't a favorable matchup for Arizona. Fantasy owners shouldn't bank on Roberts performing this well in back-to-back weeks, which is why he's not a viable WR option at this time.
News: Arizona WR Andre Roberts was held in check on Sunday in Week 12 at St. Louis. With John Skelton throwing the passes, Roberts was limited to just two catches for 14 yards in the game. Roberts was overthrown early in the game on what could have been a touchdown play. Skelton was very off for most of the game with his passes and that didn't give Roberts much of a chance to perform admirably.
Analysis: Roberts had recorded at least 50 yards receiving in three straight games entering Week 12. That streak came to an end. The Cardinals head home to play the Cowboys Week 13 and Dallas' secondary has been lacking in recent weeks. With the run defense improving, it has been the Dallas pass defense that has been getting burned by opposing offenses. Dallas has allowed Jabar Gaffney and Brandon Marshall to top 100 yards receiving each with a touchdown in the last two games, and Roberts isn't in those WRs classes at this point in his career. Arizona's offense is in shambles, but the team should get QB Kevin Kolb back against Dallas. That bodes well for Roberts, who still should not be considered a viable Fantasy option for the Week 13 game.
News: Arizona WR Andre Roberts has definitely become a bigger part of the offense recently with three-straight games with at least 50 yards receiving heading into Week 12 at St. Louis. Even with John Skelton and Richard Bartel throwing the passes in San Francisco Week 11, Roberts still managed three catches for 51 yards. Playing the Rams Week 12, St. Louis is allowing the fourth-most Fantasy points per game to opposing wide receivers this season. They have allowed 14 WR touchdowns on the year.
Analysis: Roberts met the Rams Week 9 and caught five passes for 55 yards against them. That said, Roberts has never topped 55 yards this season and the Week 9 game against the Rams was the highlight of his season. He's yet to score a touchdown and the Cardinals' QB situation is a mess. Roberts is not a recommended Fantasy option for Week 12.
News: Arizona WR Andre Roberts tallied four receptions for 55 yards during the Cardinals’ 21-17 victory over Philadelphia in Week 10. Roberts finished with at least four catches for the second straight game and now has nine total receptions in that impressive span. He has now amassed at least 55 yards in each of his past two games to boost his total on the season to 243 yards. Roberts was targeted seven times by QB John Skelton.
Analysis: After not being utilized much in the offensive plans at the beginning of the season, Roberts has emerged as a strong contributor in recent weeks. Roberts also finished with 31 more yards than Early Doucet, who was considered the team’s secondary receiving option. It’s risky to think Roberts will be able to sustain this success with the Cardinals’ weak quarterback situation. Consider him a low-end option for Week 11 at San Francisco.
News: Second-year QB John Skelton got the start in Week 9 for the injured Kevin Kolb. Skelton targeted WR Andre Roberts seven times in the contest and he caught five passes for 55 yards. He wouldn't find the end zone, but this was his best performance of the year. The Cardinals would end up winning the game, 19-13, in overtime over the Rams.
Analysis: Roberts entered Sunday with 13 catches for 133 yards in seven games. While he hasn't found the end zone, perhaps Skelton will get another look in Week 10. The Cardinals take on the Eagles next Sunday, a team that entered Week 9 allowing 212.3 passing yards per contest. Despite his nice outing, Fantasy owners should still view Roberts as a low-end WR option. There are better options out there for Week 10, so continue to leave Roberts out of those lineups.
News: Arizona WR Andre Roberts had a decent Week 5 performance on Sunday in a loss at Minnesota. Roberts caught three passes in the game for 36 yards. Roberts was targeted six times in the passing game.
Analysis: Kolb struggled getting the ball to Larry Fitzgerald in the Week 5 loss at Minnesota, so there was little hope for Roberts to contribute. Roberts didn't even make a catch in the Week 4 game and his best week has been 38 yards receiving. Yet to score on the season, Roberts has low-end Fantasy value. The Cardinals have a bye in Week 6 and return Week 7 against the Steelers.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts called Week 4's performance against the Giants frustrating because he was in the game for 63 plays and not targeted once on 30 passes. “Of course it is frustrating,” Roberts told NFL.com. “But you have to keep working hard with it.” Roberts is technically the team's No. 2 WR, but he has just nine catches through four games and isn't making the impact he would like, despite offensive coordinator Mike Miller saying Roberts is “in command of what he needs to do.” "He’s explosive and strong,” Miller said. “We send him into the box to block that eighth guy all the time, so from the standpoint of how we operate with the ‘Z’ receiver, he’s been able to do those things. He’s fast and he can stretch the field. Unfortunately this last game we just couldn’t get the ball to him, but the read dictated it go somewhere else."
Analysis: Roberts and the Cardinals play Minnesota in Week 5. It holds a special meaning for Roberts, who recorded his first career touchdown at Minnesota last season. One area Roberts needs to work on is building chemistry with QB Kevin Kolb. “It’s definitely not as much as Larry (Fitzgerald) but I would expect that, number one guy, got to his timing first,” Roberts said. “But it’s coming along.” Roberts isn't at the stage where he can be trusted heading into Fantasy Week 5. He is still more of a low-end Fantasy reserve.
News: Arizona WR Andre Roberts was held to four catches for 38 yards in Week 3 against Seattle. He was targeted six times by Kevin Kolb, but the Cardinals would lose the game, 13-10.
Analysis: Roberts will have to battle Early Doucet as the No. 2 receiver behind Larry Fitzgerald on a weekly basis. Neither will post monster numbers, but Roberts does have some upside. Fantasy owners should keep an eye on him heading into Week 4 against the Giants. As of now he is not a recommended Fantasy play.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts turned in a decent effort in the Week 2 loss at Washington. Roberts, who was targeted seven times by QB Kevin Kolb to finish second on the team behind Larry Fitzgerald, caught three passes for 30 yards. He had a long grab of 16 yards in the game.
Analysis: Roberts has looked like Kolb's second or third-favorite option in the passing game after two weeks of the season. Unfortunately, that has meant no scores and little production for the receiver. Roberts is not a recommended Fantasy option heading into Week 3 of the season at Seattle.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts was a non-factor in Week 1 against the Panthers. Roberts finished with just two receptions for 21 yards in the 28-21 defeat, as he was unable to get open most of the afternoon. He was targeted four times and averaged 11.5 yards per reception with a long of 17 yards.
Analysis: Roberts was a non-factor on Sunday, as Kolb had a hard time getting him the ball. However, this doesn't come as much as a shock as Larry Fitzgerald, Beenie Wells and Todd Heap expected to be the focal point of the offense, especially in the passing game. While Roberts has some decent potential playing regularly in the Arizona offense he should be left on the bench until proves he can produce regularly in Arizona's offense. The Cardinals travel to Washington to take on the Redskins in Week 2.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts is hoping to make an impact in his Week 1 matchup against the Panthers. Roberts, who caught 24 passes for 307 yards last season, will be facing a Panthers defense which allowed 212 yards passing yards per contest as well as 19 touchdowns through the air. Carolina also gave up an average of 14.9 Fantasy points per contest to opposing WRs in 2010.
Analysis: Roberts is officially listed as the No. 2 WR on the depth chart and will be lining up on the opposite side of Larry Fitzgerald. However, it remains unknown exactly how much he will get the ball with Fitzgerald and Beenie Wells and Todd Heap expected to be the focal point of the offense. While Roberts has some decent potential playing regularly in the Arizona offense, he should only be considered a low-end No. 4 WR heading into Week 1.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts caught two of the four passes targeted for him Saturday vs. the Chargers for 14 yards, but it was his run on a second-and-short that found him trot to the end zone. Roberts got 34 yards on the play, showing off his speed and elusiveness on a reverse.
Analysis: Roberts has some decent potential playing regularly in the Arizona offense, and his speed is obvious. He's worth a late-round flier in drafts.
News: With the departures of WRs Anquan Boldin and Steve Breaston the past two years, the once receiver-rich Cardinals are in need of pass-catchers behind star Larry Fitzgerald. They’re counting on Andre Roberts, a second-year player who mostly returned punts last season. Roberts was targeted four times in the first half against the Packers, catching two balls for 31 yards.
Analysis: Roberts might play a lot this year for a Cardinals team that could throw plenty, and that might yield some good Fantasy production. He's worth a late-round pick in drafts.
News: The Cardinals have an open depth chart at receiver behind star Larry Fitzgerald, but wide receivers coach John McNulty told the Arizona Repbulic that Andre Roberts and Early Doucet are the early leaders to grab the starting spot opposite Fitzgerald. "I don't know that you always have to say there is the 'one' guy. I think everybody wants that answer; I don't think it's fair to anyone to say it, at least now," McNulty said. "It's still an open competition the next three weeks but those two guys (Roberts and Doucet) have been thrown in there. Andre hasn't done anything to lose it, and Early's done everything to keep pushing him. We'll just decide how we want to use them as the season goes."
Analysis: Roberts is technically ahead of Doucet on the depth chart right now, but it's clearly not set in stone. "Andre's had a great camp," McNulty added. "He only had one pass thrown to him in the (Raiders) game but if you watch the tape, he did a really good job coming off the ball. He was open a lot. That's just how it goes sometimes. He only played a handful of plays. But he's made tremendous strides. He's playing like a starter. He played like a starter at the end of (last) year." It sounds as though the Cardinals want Roberts to step up in the passing game, which now features QB Kevin Kolb. We like Roberts with a late-round flier in deeper leagues since he has plenty of potential, but he has to prove himself first. If he starts out the season playing well, then plan on adding him off the waiver wire.
News: The Cardinals official team website reports that new QB Kevin Kolb is already impressed with WR Andre Roberts, who started the preseason opener against Oakland on Thursday opposite Larry Fitzgerald. “Andre (Roberts) blew right past one of their starting corners today and I didn’t hit him on it, so he’s got plenty of speed," Kolb said. "If that’s what we go into the season with, we’ll make it work and it’ll be fine. These guys are plenty talented.”
Analysis: Roberts is expected to start, with Early Doucet working in the slot. We like Roberts with a late-round flier in deeper leagues since he has plenty of potential, but he has to prove himself first. If he starts out the season playing well then plan on adding him off the waiver wire.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts indeed started opposite Larry Fitzgerald in Thursday's preseason opener against the Raiders, as expected. He didn't do much with the opportunity though, hauling in just a nine-yard pass on his only target of the night. Early Doucet started in the slot.
Analysis: Roberts was the starter on the team's first depth chart released earlier in the week, and the team stuck to the blueprint in the first preseason game. Much can change, especially with some lackluster performances, but the No. 2 option in Arizona will warrant some value regardless of who it is because of the attention Fitzgerald will get on a weekly basis. Roberts seems to be the front-runner for now, so keep an eye on the situation. Fantasy owners should consider him to be just a late-round flier at this point on Draft Day.
News: The Cardinals released their first preseason depth chart Monday and WR Andre Roberts was listed as the starter opposite Larry Fitzgerald. Stephen Williams was listed as the backup to Fitzgerald and Early Doucet as the backup to Roberts, who totaled 24 catches for 307 yards and two touchdowns as a rookie in 2010.
Analysis: We still have a long ways to go until the season opener, so a lot can change. But Roberts has to be encouraged that Arizona thinks this highly of him. It's also worth talking about that Arizona brought in QB Kevin Kolb, so the offense should be much improved over 2010. Roberts could be an intriguing late-round Fantasy flier in deeper formats, so continue to track his progress.
News: Arizona WR Andre Roberts saw a good amount of time on the field to end the season in Week 17. Roberts filled in as the main kick returner with LaRod Stephens-Howling out of action. Roberts was targeted 11 times on Sunday, but managed just four receptions for 23 yards. San Francisco would go on to beat Arizona, 38-7.
Analysis: Roberts finished the year with 24 catches for 307 yards and two touchdowns. The rookie wide receiver could carve out a niche in Arizona. But the quarterback situation is a mess, which doesn't make things easy heading into the offseason. Roberts doesn't have much Fantasy value heading into 2011, but could be worth using in deeper leagues that reward returns yardage.
News:Andre Roberts admits he was lost in training camp, overwhelmed by the transition from football at The Citadel to the complex, competitive world of the NFL. With a military background to keep him disciplined, Roberts kept working -- catching passes after practice day after day, running routes, working on his punt returns. Suddenly, it all seems to have clicked for the speedy, soft-spoken wide receiver. In last week's 27-26 victory over Dallas, Roberts had his best day yet: five catches for 110 yards, including a 74-yarder for a touchdown. "I didn't have the training camp or preseason that I wanted," he said after Wednesday's workout, "but it's getting better every day." The Cardinals thought highly enough of Roberts, an FCS (formerly NCAA Division I-AA) All-American, to make him a third-round pick, and he seemed to feel pressure of living up to expectations of someone drafted relatively early. In camp in Flagstaff, he quickly became known for dropping passes and fumbling punts. More than a few onlookers wondered if the Cardinals had made a big mistake. Coach Ken Whisenhunt, though, said he never second-guessed the pick. "That happens with rookies and a lot of young players," he said. "You have to go through that. I learned from coach (Bill) Cowher that you have to be patient with those guys. Everybody is different. It's obviously paying off for us now."
Analysis: Roberts' path mirrors that of John Skelton, a fifth-round pick from Fordham who had trouble grasping the offense in training camp, losing the backup quarterback battle to undrafted rookie Max Hall. When he finally got his chance, Skelton made the most of it. He will get his fourth straight start in Sunday's season finale at San Francisco. Skelton and Roberts have been close since they began workouts last summer. That rapport could help Roberts again in Week 17, but Fantasy owners can't bank on a repeat performance since Roberts has such little track record. He is still at best a low-end Fantasy start.
News: Arizona rookie quarterback John Skelton and rookie wide receiver Andre Roberts may have made a connection in the Week 16 win over Dallas. The two youngsters were central parts in the 27-26 win. Skelton threw his first NFL touchdown pass and it was to Roberts for a 74-yard broken play and score. Roberts was wide open after Terence Newman fell on a defensive pass interference call. It was the first touchdown catch for Arizona since Nov. 21 against the Chiefs and was just the ninth of the season for the team. Roberts had his first career 100-yard game as he finished with five catches for 110 yards and the score. He was clearly Skelton's go-to option.
Analysis: Roberts didn't even have a catch last week against the Panthers so we're really not sure why he was clearly Skelton's favorite and most overused target in the Week 16 game against Dallas. That said, Skelton barely looked Larry Fitzgerald's way but continually tossed the ball to Roberts. Fantasy owners should be intrigued, but with just one regular-season game remaining, Roberts will still be far too risky for use in most Fantasy leagues against the 49ers in San Francisco in Week 17.
News: Arizona rookie WR Andre Roberts made a small contribution on Sunday against Denver. Roberts was targeted twice by fellow rookie -- QB John Skelton -- catching one pass for 5 yards. The Cardinals would beat the Broncos, 43-13 in Week 14.
Analysis: Roberts is getting some targets with the Arizona offense looking for players to step up. He has just 15 catches on the year and has scored just one touchdown. Arizona faces Carolina in Week 15 -- a team that is tough against the pass. Fantasy owners should leave Roberts on waivers for now, but is a player to keep tabs on for next season.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts had another decent performance in Week 12 against the 49ers. He caught the two passes he was targeted for from QB Derek Anderson, gaining 21 yards in the 27-6 loss. Roberts also returned two punts for five yards in the defeat.
Analysis: Roberts has become a viable option in the passing game for the Cardinals in recent weeks, but has yet to have a marquee performance. The first-year player out of The Citadel has found the end zone one time this season thus far and has seen an improved role over the last few games. He could be a solid Fantasy option contributor the line but continue to view Roberts as a low-end option for the deepest of leagues heading into Week 13 against the Rams.
News: Cardinals rookie WR Andre Roberts stepped up in the absence of the injured Early Doucet (head) in a Week 11 loss at Kansas City. Roberts set career highs with six catches for 52 yards.
Analysis: Roberts scored a couple of weeks ago against the Vikings, but the first-year guy out of The Citadel stepped up in even better way on Sunday as QB Derek Anderson looked his way 11 times with the Cardinals trying to come back from a big deficit. If Doucet is out in Week 12 vs. San Francisco, Roberts might well get involved again, although Arizona shouldn't be down big in that matchup. Continue to just watch Roberts from afar in Fantasy play for the time being.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts caught his first career touchdown reception in Week 9 against the Vikings. Roberts was on the receiving end of a 30-yard touchdown strike from Derek Anderson late in the second quarter that Arizona a 14-10 lead. His only other reception went for a 1-yard loss. He finished with two receptions for 29 yards and a touchdown. Roberts also returned a punt for 7 yards in the loss.
Analysis: Roberts has struggled at times this season, but finally was able to find the end zone on Sunday. Injuries at the receiver position have given the former third-round draft pick an opportunity to play. While it was nice to see him find the end zone against the Vikings, Roberts will have limited Fantasy value going forward. He has just six receptions for 96 yards and a touchdown on the season and doesn't stat consistently enough to be useful outside of deeper Fantasy leagues. He can be left on the waiver wire heading into Week 10 in most formats.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts had his most productive game as a pro in Week 7 against the Seahawks. The rookie caught two passes for 40 yards while being targeted four times in the 22-10 loss. He got the start opposite Larry Fitzgerald with Steve Breaston out but had a costly mistake on special teams. He muffed a punt and then tried to pick it up with one hand. However Seattle knocked it away and recovered in the red zone to set up a TD. Roberts returned four punts in the game for 37 yards in the defeat.
Analysis: Roberts, a third-round draft this year, has seen more playing time with the injuries to wideouts on Arizona but has only mustered four catches for 67 yards over two games. His special teams mistake was a costly one on Sunday but he should continue to see regualr punt return duties. But despite his career game, Roberts will continue to have minimal Fantasy value as the season goes on. Leave Roberts on waivers for Week 8 against the Buccaneers.
News: Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt said the inactive receiver for each game will be between Max Komar or Andre Roberts, and it will be a week-to-week decision based on game plans and opponents.
Analysis: Roberts saw more playing time with WRs Steve Breaston and Early Doucet inactive for Week 5 and put up some decent stats while serving as the Cardinals fourth-string wideout. But despite his career game, he will continue to have minimal Fantasy value as the season goes on. Leave Roberts on waivers for Week 7 against the Seahawks.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts finally saw some action in Week 5 against the Saints. After posting zero stats in the first four games of the season, the rookie caught two passes for 27 yards in the 30-20 win. He also returned two punts for four yards while being targeted three times in the victory.
Analysis: Roberts saw more playing time with WRs Steve Breaston and Early Doucet inactive for Week 5 and put up some decent stats while serving as the Cardinals fourth-string wideout. But despite his career game, he will continue to have minimal Fantasy value as the season goes on. Leave Roberts on waivers for Week 7 against the Seahawks.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts expects to be part of the Cards' four-WR packages in Week 4 against the Chargers. Arizona will be without WRs Steve Breaston and Early Doucet, who have both been ruled out of Week 4.
Analysis: Roberts will only be on the field as the Cardinals No. 4 WR. For him to have an impact, Arizona would have to stay in shotgun for several snaps. Roberts just doesn't get enough playing time on Sunday's to be relevant in Fantasy leagues.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts missed Thursday's preseason finale against the Redskins because of shoulder sprain sustained in the team's previous game against the Titans. His status for Week 1 has yet to be determined.
Analysis: Roberts was initially expected to miss just a week with the injury, so he is likely to be healthy for the start of the season. He is not high enough on the depth chart, however, to be considered useful in Fantasy.
News: Cardinals WR Andre Roberts is expected to miss a week because of shoulder sprain sustained in Monday night's loss to the Titans.
Analysis: Roberts is buried on the Cardinals depth chart and isn't expected to make the opening-day roster. Continue to ignore him in Fantasy play.
