[$--] [Larry Fitzgerald] [Larry Fitzgerald "Definitely returning" for 2017 season] Fitzgerald was known to be mulling retirement this offseason, but after taking the time to weigh his options, it appears he isn't yet ready to hang up the cleats. Fantasy players should rejoice, as it's clear the All-Pro wideout has plenty left in the tank after pacing the entire league in receptions last season. However, his value in 2017 is contingent upon Carson Palmer's own retirement decision. Should the quarterback return for another season, Fitzgerald will likely remain the go-to receiving option in Arizona for yet another year. If he doesn't, the entire Cardinals offense could suffer.

However, he appears to have avoided any and all setbacks thus far into his rehabilitation and should be out of the sling in a little over two weeks.

Ray Flowers tells you why in what follows. 36 minutes ago Ray Flowers [$--] [C.J. Anderson] [C.J. Anderson Running full speed] Anderson went under the knife in late October to repair a torn meniscus in his right knee. Although he's now able to run without any problems, he's yet to resume cutting, the very movement that caused Anderson's injury in the first place. However, he doesn't seem to think that will be a problem as Anderson believes he'll be cleared to resume all football-related activities within the month. If the running back is to be believed, that timeline would leave him plenty of time to get back into shape before offseason workouts start up in April.

Since sitting out in Week 14, though, he's been his usual force on the field, increasing his catch count in four consecutive games. He's also reached the end zone four times during that stretch, but he could be hard-pressed to uphold such a standard in a Super Bowl matchup against the Patriots' No. 1 scoring defense, which has conceded 15 touchdowns to wideouts in 18 games (including playoffs) this season.

With that in mind, the 24-year-old running back suggests that he's not looking to leave Pittsburgh. "Obviously, I want to play with the Steelers. I don't want to change teams and things like that," he noted. "Hopefully we get all that settled, and hopefully they show some love because obviously I feel like I'm the best running back in the league." Bell finished the 2016 regular season with 261 carries for 1,268 yards and seven TDs over the course of 12 games. He also caught 75 passes for 616 yards and two receiving scores in that span.

Stein takes a closer look at those who missed significant time in 2016 and offers his outlook for the upcoming 2017 fantasy baseball season. 39 minutes ago Michael A. Stein [$--] [Travis Benjamin] [Travis Benjamin Recovering from procedure on right knee] Benjamin took advantage of a bruised and battered Chargers offense in the early stages of the 2016 season, cranking out two 100-yard outings and hauling in a pair of touchdown receptions within his first five games with the team. However, his ability to practice was hindered by a knee injury beginning in Week 7, after which he required two DNPs (Weeks 10 and 17). During that stretch, he didn't surpass four receptions or 75 yards in a given appearance, ending the campaign with 47 catches (on 75 targets) for 677 yards and four touchdowns in 14 contests. Last week's procedure was undertaken in order to clean up a Grade 2 PCL sprain but shouldn't impact his readiness for the offseason program, which will kick off on April 3 in Los Angeles.

While he finished out the regular season and also suited up for the Lions' lone playoff game in Seattle, Stafford was unable to attend the Pro Bowl because he opted for rest over surgery as means to recover. However, it isn't clear how much rest his finger may require, nor if his treatment plan will delay the start of his offseason preparation.

Not only did Palmer miss one game due to a concussion, but he also dealt with hamstring soreness this season. Furthermore, after enjoying arguably the best year of his career with 35 touchdowns and 11 interceptions in 2015, Palmer posted merely 26 scores and threw 14 picks as the Cardinals failed to make the postseason this time around. While several sources reportedly believe Palmer has played his final snap, the former No. 1 overall pick still has a couple more weeks before Arizona's organization hopes to know his plans, making it a wait-and-see situation regarding his 2017 status. Analysis: Rotowire.com 3 days ago [Ray’s Ramblings: CMart Signs Extension] Carlos Martinez got paid. Josh Bell got hurt. Mark Reynolds got signed. Matt Harvey, well we have to talk about what is going on with him. 1 hour ago Ray Flowers [$--] [Larry Fitzgerald] [Larry Fitzgerald Contemplating retirement] Fitzgerald has been in discussions with coaches and members of Arizona's front office regarding his future, which may be influenced by quarterback Carson Palmer's potential retirement as well. At 33 years old, Fitzgerald previously was reported to have told his friends that he expected 2016 to be his final NFL season. However, after leading the league with 107 receptions this season, it's clear Fitzgerald can still perform at a high level, making his decision less straightforward. Although the Cardinals' season has only been over for about a month now, the team hopes Fitzgerald will inform them of his decision sooner than later for offseason planning purposes, so news of Fitzgerald's plan could surface in the near future.
