Arizona Cardinals DFS Spin
Colt McCoy (neck) was removed from the Week 15 injury report and will play against the Broncos. McCoy was upgraded to a full practice on Friday after opening the week with a pair of limited sessions. Kyler Murray is done for the year because of a torn ACL, throwing McCoy into the fire for the final four weeks of the regular season. He has been able to keep the offense afloat in his few starts for the Cardinals, but his presence under center undoubtedly lowers the ceiling of the offense. Facing a strong Denver defense, McCoy should not be looked at for fantasy purposes, even in Superflex leagues.
Denver Broncos DFS Spin
Brett Rypien will start for the Broncos against Arizona in Week 15. Rypien completed 4-of-8 passes for 16 yards, a touchdown, and an interception in Week 14 in relief of Russell Wilson. Arizona’s madcap blitzing defense and a lack of receiving talent will likely make him one of the bottom-five superflex plays of the week. Arizona and Denver’s over/under was already the lowest of the slate. It could still go lower.
