![]() ![]() ![]() Larry Fitzgerald + + Hideous Arizona Cardinals’ Offensive Line = DISASTER He was supposed to finish as the 3rd-best fantasy performer among wide receivers.īut the reality of Fitz’s 2012 campaign actually boiled down to an equation: Rotoworld-and, frankly, countless other fantasy football participants-expected Larry Fitzgerald to have another exceptional year in 2012. 4) LeSean McCoy, who finished 21st and McFadden, who finished another disappointing season as the 28th-ranked fantasy back.
