Carson Beck Fantasy Overview

QB Gardner Minshew followed his surprising comeback at Dallas with his first start for Arizona in Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. He didn't anything special but played competently for the most part. Minshew completed 21 of 30 passes (70%) for 166 yards (5.5 per attempt) with no TDs or INTs. He took three sacks and fumbled once, but the Cardinals recovered. Minshew added one run for 4 yards.

Cardinals HC Mike LaFleur announced Monday that the team will stick with Gardner Minshew as the starter going forwar, according to multiple reports. He added that the team will elevate rookie Carson Beck to the backup role, which would mean demoting Jacoby Brissett all the way to the emergency third-QB spot.

Cardinals QB Jacoby Brissett was benched with a little under 2 minutes to go in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He threw for just 119 yards with 0 TDs and 1 INT before getting the hook. QB Gardner Minshew has replaced Brissett. Rookie QB Carson Beck, who's been dealing with a back injury, is the emergency third QB.

Carson Beck won’t play in tonight's preseason game after suffering a rib injury in last week’s Hall of Fame game, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. It’s not considered serious, and Beck practiced throughout the week before being held out as a precaution.
