Top fantasy picks for Cardinals-Eagles in Week 5

Take a look at our Week 5 picks for fantasy football.

This Sunday marks a huge test for the Arizona Cardinals. They managed to get back to .500 with a win over the Panthers last week, but have failed to beat the two good teams they’ve played.

The Eagles pose a great opportunity to advance to 3-2 on the season and be guaranteed to be at least .500 before the return of DeAndre Hopkins.

Philadelphia, of course, will be looking to remain undefeated and start the season 5-0. They have one of the more complete rosters in the NFL and are a tough team to beat. There are question marks about the level of competition they’ve played, however.

Let’s dive into our fantasy football picks for this week so you can enjoy the game and win your Week 5 matchup.

How the Cardinals have done against the Eagles in recent history

Take a look at how the Cardinals have faired against the Eagles the previous three times the two teams played each other.

Sunday will be quite the test for the Arizona Cardinals as the 4-0 Philadelphia Eagles come to town. The Cardinals rallied in the second half once again against the Carolina Panthers, but still have question marks about what kind of team they really are.

A win against the Eagles would tremendously boost the confidence of the team and put them back in the spotlight for good reasons, being the ones to beat the league’s last undefeated team.

So, how have the Cardinals done against the Eagles in their most recent matchups?

What’s new with the Eagles in 2022?

Take a look at what’s new with the Eagles in 2022.

The undefeated Philadelphia Eagles will travel to Glendale this Sunday for an exciting matchup with the Arizona Cardinals.

The Cards finally found some positive momentum in Carolina last week with a 26-16 win and are looking to finally win a home game. The Eagles will be no small task in doing so, however.

General manager Howie Roseman had an excellent offseason, one where he was aggressive in adding premier talent to both sides of the ball. The highlight of the bunch, of course, was acquiring wideout A.J. Brown from the Tennessee Titans.

Brown has been excellent for the Eagles to this point in the season with 404 yards in his first four games. He and second-year wideout Devonta Smith make one of the league’s best receiver duos.

Roseman did plenty more to poise his Eagles for a playoff run. He signed former Cardinal Haason Reddick to a three-year deal, a player the Cards had interest in bringing back. Ultimately, Reddick wanted to return to his hometown.

Just before the start of the regular season, Roseman acquired slot cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson from the Saints. It was a surprising move, but amidst contract fallouts with the Saints, Johnson was on the trade block.

The Eagles also signed former Giants cornerback James Bradberry, who has been phenomenal in his first four games. He and fellow Pro Bowl caliber cornerback Darius Slay have been lights out for the Eagles defense.

Philadelphia selected DT Jordan Davis with the No. 13 overall pick, a move that has made their rush defense one of the best in the NFL. Their defensive line, highlighted by Davis and Fletcher Cox, is among the league’s best.

The Eagles are a very complete roster and the Cardinals will need to play to their potential for four quarters to win this one. Take a look below at just how much talent the Eagles added this offseason.

Eagles’ key offseason additions

  • WR A.J. Brown
  • OLB Hasson Reddick
  • CB C.J. Gardner-Johnson
  • CB James Bradberry
  • ILB Kyzir White
  • DT Jordan Davis

Eagles’ key offseason losses
