Arizona Cardinals DFS Spin
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports Marquise Brown (illness) is expected to play in Week 6 against the Rams. Brown was still getting in limited practices this week despite his illness, so he seems good to go for Week 6. The speedy receiver has 42 targets through five games and should see plenty of looks versus the Rams. His volume puts him near the back of the WR2 range for Week 6.
Los Angeles Rams DFS Spin
Rams RG Joseph Noteboom (groin) is questionable for Week 6 against the Cardinals. Kevin Dotson started in Noteboom’s place last week and may do so again versus the Cardinals. Noteboom did not practice until Friday. He closed the week with a limited session.

Cardinals vs. Rams Prediction:
Take Arizona. Public bettors are champing at the bit to lay the points with the Rams but has anyone watched the Cardinals this season? Given the injury situation of QB Kyler Murray, coupled with the moves they made this offseason, led pundits to assume Arizona was tanking for the No. 1 overall pick.
Instead, the Cardinals covered as a 7-point road favorite in Washington Week 1. In Week 2, they should have beaten the Giants outright, but nevertheless covered as a 4.5-point home dog. They did beat the Cowboys outright as an 11-point home dog in Week 3 before losing straight up and ATS the past two Sundays against the 49ers and Bengals, respectively.
While they didn’t cover versus Cincinnati, Arizona was very much in that game last Sunday. The final score was somewhat misleading. The bottom line is that Joshua Dobbs and this Cardinals team has played much better than anyone would have thought coming into the season and I’ll gladly take the points today in L.A.
