Beck is a massive long shot for OROY consideration at +2800 odds. The source notes it would take an injury to Jacoby Brissett or a sudden decline in his performance for Beck to make noise in the OROY race. However, the source acknowledges a scenario where Beck could become relevant if elevated to the starting lineup by midseason, citing the precedent of Saints QB Tyler Shough being runner-up to last season's OROY despite starting only nine games. Arizona's tough schedule (double dips with Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle) is identified as a major obstacle for both Beck and Love.

Third-round rookie QB Carson Beck looked as good as he has all camp on Wednesday, throwing a deep ball early in 11-on-11 that was the kind of throw the Cardinals hoped for when they drafted him out of Miami. On Sunday, despite a respectable 13-for-20 completion percentage, Beck was visibly annoyed about one incomplete pass, slapping his hands together in frustration. He is competing with Kedon Slovis to be the third quarterback on the depth chart, and Jacoby Brissett has been mentoring him during practice, walking onto the field to discuss the offense with the rookie.

Fantasy Points' Ryan Heath pushes back against the assumption that Carson Beck's arrival in week 8 will tank the Cardinals offense. He argues that Lafleur won't want to be the fall guy or tank commander (he already was for Zach Wilson), and therefore won't stand for the offense becoming bad after Beck enters. Heath cautions against assuming no one will score fantasy points in the Cardinals offense for the rest of the season once Beck takes over, though he acknowledges the schedule is brutal through week 12-13.

Had arguably his best practice session since arriving in Tempe, showing arm talent and touch into tight windows; tossed a touchdown pass with very little room for error and demonstrated command of the huddle despite being a rookie. However, he has a bad habit of staring down receivers that needs tutelage. May not supplant Jacoby Brissett as starting QB, but could become the primary backup and could see action down the stretch in November if the Cardinals aren't winning enough games, providing an opportunity to gauge whether the franchise is satisfied with him or needs to look to the 2027 draft.

Beck had arguably his best practice session since arriving in Tempe, showing arm talent on full display during two-minute drills with astounding touch into tight windows and a touchdown pass with very little room for error. He has command of the huddle despite being a rookie, though he stares down receivers and needs tutelage. The source projects he may not supplant Jacoby Brissett as starting QB but could become the primary backup, and if the Cardinals aren't winning enough games by November, it would surprise nobody to see Beck under center going down the stretch to get NFL game experience and gauge whether the franchise is satisfied with him or needs to look into the 2027 NFL draft.

Third-round rookie QB (65th pick) showing early training camp accuracy struggles with multiple big misses 5+ yards off target and inability to complete passes beyond 5 yards downfield in first two days; source notes he likely wasn't worth the draft capital but Cardinals had to pay the QB tax. Beck's college profile at Georgia and Miami was game-manager level on talent-rich teams, raising questions about whether he can succeed on a less talented NFL roster. Early camp struggles may reduce Cardinals' confidence in deploying him if they need to move off Jacoby Brissett.

Third-round rookie QB (65th pick) drafted above his market value due to the quarterback tax; unlikely to produce immediately given his background as a game manager on talent-rich programs (Georgia, Miami) rather than an elite prospect. Early training camp struggles raise concerns about the Cardinals' confidence in deploying him if they need to move beyond Jacoby Brissett, though the source questions whether camp performance truly predicts NFL readiness for a rookie QB in this situation.

I feel like the community as a whole may be underestimating the Arizona Cardinals offense in 2026 - Yes, the team is projected to win 4.5 games. - Yes, it's been four years since Mike LaFleur was a play caller - And yes, their schedule is absolutely brutal — they might win 1 of their first 13 games Still, the Cardinals led the league in Passing YPG (282.7) with Jacoby Brissett as a starter in Weeks 6-18 last season - Brissett was also an incredibly consistent fantasy scorer, hitting at least...
