Big day at linebacker
Gardeck recorded six tackles, including 3.0 sacks, four tackles for loss and a forced fumble in Sunday's 41-10 win over the Rams.
ANALYSIS
Gardeck loaded up the stat sheet as part of a dominant defensive showing by the Cardinals in Week 2. The 29-year-old earned a significant role last season for the first time in his six-year career, after primarily being a special-teams contributor. In his new role as a starter, the Sioux Falls product may be having a late-career breakout now that he's getting the opportunity to see the field more. He'll work to keep up the production in Week 3 against the Lions.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
The Cardinals have employed Gardeck on special teams since he joined the pro ranks in 2018 as an undrafted free agent. When he finally got some work on defense in 2020, he had a mini breakout in the form of seven sacks on just 93 snaps. Since then, though, he's mustered only one sack in 28 games over the last two campaigns. Two factors may aid in a revival for Gardeck in the fall: J.J. Watt (retired) and Zach Allen (Denver) aren't on the roster, leaving holes to fill in the pass rush for a new 4-3 scheme.
