Quarterback
Joshua Dobbs, 65
Dobbs again took every snap, which is ideal for the Cardinals. They can’t afford him getting hurt.
Running back
James Conner, 47; Keaontay Ingram, 10; Emari Demercado, 8; Jesse Luketa, 1
Conner continues to get almost all the snaps.
Demercado appears to have been given the role of third-down, passing-down back. Luketa was a fullback on one play.
Wide receiver
Marquise Brown, 61; Rondale Moore, 42; Michael Wilson, 28; Zach Pascal, 23
Wilson had his role reduced, getting Pascal on the field more. Wilson was productive with some catches and good blocks.
Tight end
Zach Ertz, 44; Trey McBride, 33; Geoff Swaim, 28
The Cardinals utilized their tight ends a lot, having three on the field at once for many plays.
Offensive line
D.J. Humphries, 65; Elijah Wilkinson, 65; Hjalte Froholdt, 65; Will Hernandez, 65; Paris Johnson, 65
Every starting lineman played every snap again. This is good.
