The Arizona Cardinals probably will have both starting receivers Sunday for the first time in three weeks as Anquan Boldin expects to play against New Orleans after missing the loss to Seattle last weekend. Boldin has missed four games this season with hip and toe injuries, while Larry Fitzgerald missed a game two weeks ago because of a strained groin. Fitzgerald hobbled through against the Seahawks and expects to do so again this week. And Boldin told reporters that "unless anything happens, I should be out there Sunday." The Cardinals also should have safety Aaron Francisco, who missed the past three games with a calf injury.

Commentary: The Cardinals need all hands on deck as they try to make a run at the final wild-card spot. But they are just too short-handed to make it.

Fantasy Football Impact: Fitzgerald has had another Pro Bowl kind of season, with 81 catches for 1,139 yards and seven touchdowns. But Boldin's numbers are way down (48-552-6) because of his missed time. Both are top-flight fantasy options when healthy, but we would steer away from them considering their fragile conditions and the importance of any fantasy contests at this point.
