The Arizona Cardinals are contemplating sitting wideout Anquan Boldin Sunday against the New England Patriots. Boldin is currently dealing with an injured shoulder.
The injury report did not change from Wednesday except that Early Doucet (hamstring) was back to limited work. Anquan Boldin (shoulder), J.J. Arrington (knee) and DE/LB Travis LaBoy (ankle) didn’t practice and coach Ken Whisenhunt acknowledged that if Arrington and Boldin, in particular, have to sit to be ready for the playoffs, the Cards will do what is most prudent.
This is a no-brainer. If Boldin can’t practice Friday, there’s no sense in having him play on Sunday with the playoffs just weeks away. The Cardinals would surely like to head into the postseason with some momentum (especially after they were just waxed by Minnesota at home last Sunday), but they need to be at full strength or else they don’t stand a chance in the postseason.
Steve Breaston might make a decent option this week for fantasy owners, although New England’s defense has been decent against the pass and the weather won’t be pretty so you might want to find better options.
