The Cardinals may also have more viable depth at the wide receiver position than initially thought. Senior starters Chris Bell and Caullin Lacy showed why they will be quarterback Miller Moss’s top 2 targets, but Kris Hughes made quite the argument for his name to be the potential third target. Hughes posted a fantastic outing for the Cards, which included three catches for 50 receiving yards and 1 receiving touchdown.
The passing game featured a balanced and wide-spread attack on Saturday, with the highest catch total going to Bell and Lacy, who both finished with five receptions each. Those two will definitely have their touches, but having that third reliable target will be crucial for Moss as the opponents grow increasingly more challenging.
Hughes demonstrated that he has the capability to step into that role if needed. His competition with Antonio Meeks for that third receiving spot will be exciting to watch.
