Chargers vs Cardinals prediction, picks and fantasy outlook feat. J.K. Dobbins, Trey McBride and more

J.K. Dobbins' Los Angeles Chargers are coming off of a Week 6 win against their AFC West rival Denver Broncos. This week, they hope to do the same against the NFC West's Arizona Cardinals. Of course, Kyler Murray' and Co. will aim to prevent it. Here's a look at the upcoming primetime game.

Chargers vs Cardinals prediction

The Cardinals have struggled this season. At 2-4, a loss on Monday Night Football would put them three games under .500 and could prove to be a season-breaker. However, they face a far-from-immortal opponent. The Denver Broncos nearly pulled off a comeback to tie the contest of what should have been a blowout victory for LA.

With the Chargers cooling down in that contest and the possibility of that momentum carrying into the game against the Arizona Cardinals, expect a tight contest. With Arizona's backs against the wall, there is reason to believe that the team could empty out the trick-play handbook and go for it on fourth down.

If J.K. Dobbins' and Co. are not prepared for this, they could find themselves chasing. In fact, with the game taking place in Arizona and Marvin Harrison Jr. playing, the Cardinals should win by a score of 27-20.

Chargers vs Cardinals top fantasy picks

Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. are the top names to consider from the Cardinals in the contest. It might take a series for Marvin Harrison Jr. to shake off the nerves in his first primetime game, but he likely will eventually heat up.

Trey McBride is coming off the best game of his season, but don't expect the stat line of eight catches and 96 yards to continue into this game, especially with Harrison back.

It goes without saying that J.K. Dobbins should be a week-in, week-out starter. This season, J.K. Dobbins has earned at least 95 yards and a touchdown in three games. It is a somewhat risky choice, but the Chargers defense has proven to be formidable this year. With the Cardinals heading into a potential downward spiral, playing the team's defense could be a lucrative move.
