News: 3 days agoHead coach Mike LaFleur said Wednesday that Beck will start Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

Spin: Arizona first dealt Jacoby Brissett to Baltimore last Friday, and then Gardner Minshew suffered a torn UCL in his right elbow during this past Sunday's game at Seattle and will undergo season-ending surgery. That series of events precedes Beck taking over as the Cards' No. 1 signal-caller, and with eight other skill-position players on reserve lists at the moment, the top talents available to the offense will be TE Trey McBride and RB Tyler Allgeier.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Beck was selected by the Cardinals in the third round of April's draft. Beck is a big, experienced quarterback who started for two seasons at Georgia prior to leading Miami to the national championship game last season. Beck paced this rookie QB class in completion percentage last season (72.4%) and for his career (69.5%), while also leading this group with an 80.9 QBR and 8.4 YPA during his 55-game collegiate career. He's unlikely to offer much with his legs in the pros, however, and will begin his career behind Jacoby Brissett and likely Gardner Minshew. Beck has no short-term fantasy value, though he could very well make some starts during his rookie season. Monitor him in superflex.
