Arizona Cardinals 2026 preview: Stephie Smalls and Producer Ryan McKee break down win total bets, futures and fantasy football targets for one of the strangest teams on the NFL board. The 2026 NFL Team Previews continue with the Arizona Cardinals, and Ryan arrives with something dangerous: actual optimism. Stephie and Ryan recap a brutal 2025 season, the end of the Kyler Murray era, the Gardner Minshew and Jacoby Brissett quarterback questions, and why Carson Beck could start more games than people expect if the season goes sideways early. They also dig into the Cardinals’ offseason changes, including Michael LaFleur taking over, Nathaniel Hackett’s role, the Jeremiah Love draft pick, Tyler Allgeier joining the backfield, offensive line upgrades, pass-rush concerns and the question that haunts every bad NFL team: do they have an identity, or just “stuff”? For bettors, this episode covers the Cardinals’ 2026 win total, over 3.5 wins, fewest wins odds, playoff futures, team points futures and possible Carson Beck starts props. For fantasy football players, Stephie and Ryan discuss Trey McBride as a top tight end, Jeremiah Love in best ball, Michael Wilson as a sleeper, and whether Marvin Harrison Jr. is now being drafted too low.
