As we do every July during the run-up to NFL training camp, we are taking a spin around the league to ask and answer a pressing fantasy question for each team. We wrap up our tour in the NFC West, where the inhabitants will take on the NFC East and AFC South. The Jaguars, Texans, and Giants sprinkled on top of an already-tough intra-divisional slate of defenses bodes poorly for area offenses.

Arizona Cardinals
Is Carson Palmer a reliable fantasy quarterback after a quietly effective stretch run last year?
The Cardinals offense line is slated to include four players sporting below-average pass-blocking grades from last year, and Jared Veldheer – who lasted for half of the season and is switching from left to right tackle. Palmer is notoriously pressure-sensitive, a detail that only grows more relevant as he ages and becomes even less mobile. During his three full seasons in Arizona, he ranked sixth, first, and fifth in average depth of target – and when he was hurt in 2014, teammate Drew Stanton finished first.
