Danielle Hunter lands at No. 25 on the NFL Top 100 as the Week 15 road test for Arizona’s defense against Houston looms large, a matchup that could shape DFS and season-long decisions. Arizona slots Budda Baker, Trey McBride and Josh Sweat on the Top 100 roster this year, underscoring a mix of playmakers on offense and defense. The Cardinals’ 2025 schedule features a parade of top opponents, including Hendrickson, Warner, Stingley, Wirfs, Kittle, Nacua, Jacobs, Lamb and Parsons, crafting a rich fantasy-mue for edge-rushes and matchups across the board. Johnson Jr. and Williams will have a stern test against Hunter’s edge, while Hunter’s 12-sack bounce-back year signals a pivotal Week 15 tilt that could swing defensive DFS values.

The article also highlights fellow Cardinals on the Top 100—McBride and Baker—adding nuance to Arizona’s fantasy storyline as the club navigates a calendar packed with premier playmakers. Across the 2025 slate, fantasy owners should map Hunter’s peak weeks against top offenses and leverage Baker’s coverage range, McBride’s tight-end upside, and Sweat’s ability to pressure even elite quarterbacks. These factors, plus the Cardinals’ testing schedule, shape weekly lineup considerations and weekly DFS pivots.
