For the same reason why you should start Carson Palmer at QB, it’s a no brainer to take the best receiver on the team that Caron’s throwing to. Niners are ranked 27th in passing defense and 28th in total defense. All the healthy WR’s for the Cardinals should run wild this week, but best bet is probably Fitzgerald.
Also, DeAndre Hopkins is another no brainer this week. The Texans have the 31st ranked passing defense in the and ranked LAST in total defense.
