Arizona Cardinals
2024 Fantasy Outlook
In 43 games (40 starts) in four years at Rutgers, Melton was a general menace on defense and special teams alike, recording 114 tackles (nine for loss), eight interceptions among 22 pass defenses, four fumble recoveries, a forced fumble and four blocked punts. When combined with a 4.39 40 time at the 2024 Combine, it was enough for the Cardinals to select him in the second round of this year's draft, 43rd overall. Melton shouldn't have a problem getting on the field as a rookie on the outside, in the slot or on punt coverage. Read Past Outlooks

Good to go vs. Rams

September 15, 2024
Melton (concussion) is active for Sunday's game against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Melton entered concussion protocols following Arizona's Week 1 loss to Buffalo. He started as a DNP on Wednesday, but he finished the week as a full participant in Friday's session, and he is good to go for Sunday's NFC West showdown. Melton played 27 snaps (10 on defense, 17 on special teams) and registered two solo tackles against the Bills in Week 1.
