QB Kyler Murray

Murray is a player to watch every game down the stretch because of his comeback. The Rams have been a tough opponent for him in the past. Can he elevate his teammates and the offense?

O’Donnell, assuming he is still the starting left guard, will get to face Aaron Donald, which is always a challenge. We want to see how well he holds up against him.

With Kyzir White out for the rest of the season, Woods is now the Mike linebacker and Barnes will now get significant playing time. Last time the Cardinals and Rams played, Kyren Williams ran all over them in the second half. Williams returns from injured reserve this week.

Williams will get a tough task covering Cooper Kupp or Puka Nacua when they line up in the slot.

LB BJ Ojulari

Ojulari is the most naturally gifted edge defender the Cardinals have, which is why they drafted him in the second round this year. He has four sacks in the last four games, finally coming on and producing. Can he continue it?
