Calais Campbell returned to State Farm Stadium as a Cardinal and delivered a game-sealing sack on Bryce Young, turning emotion into production as he prowled the edge in his first return to Arizona since 2016. The 39-year-old didn’t just lead with leadership; he flashed a disruptive pass rush, piling up two sacks, two hurries and three tackles on 37 snaps to anchor a defense that closed out a 2-0 start.

Arizona’s rotation kept Campbell fresh while he remained a force, earning a 77.0 PFF grade and illustrating that veteran savvy can translate into meaningful edge pressure even in limited snaps. The win over Carolina solidified the Cardinals as early surprises, with coach Jonathan Gannon praising the veteran’s impact and the defense feeding off his presence from start to finish.

The week-one benchmark at New Orleans framed the improvement, and this homecoming underscored that leadership plus playmaking can elevate the unit in tight moments. The crowd’s energy, Campbell’s timing, and a defense that leaned on experience helped Arizona move to 2-0, with Campbell’s performance serving as a blueprint for how the Cardinals can lean on their veterans in close games.

Cam Skattebo surged in Week 2, flashing a growing backfield role behind Tyrone Tracy Jr. for Arizona. He totaled 11 carries for 45 yards, added 14 receiving yards on 3 targets, and punched in a rushing score, signaling increased red-zone opportunity and overallTouch potential. With a Week 3 matchup looming,Skattebo is a viable flex add in all formats, though his true ceiling is higher in non-PPR/half-PPR than pure PPR.

Expect a continued split workload with Tracy Jr. handling more passing game work. Skattebo’s future value hinges on how often he’s involved near the goal line, but his Week 2 performance makes him a credible Week 3 starter in most fantasy setups.
