It is now 18 months since Carson Beck underwent elbow surgery to repair a torn UCL. Following his 2024 elbow surgery and a pathetic 4.8 aDOT final season at Miami, Beck enters training camp looking to prove he can handle a more aggressive professional passing attack.

While his pocket-passing style currently caps his fantasy upside at a QB2 valuation, he could see early action if veteran Jacoby Brissett’s contract situation remains unresolved. However, Cardinals head coach Mike LaFleur tempered immediate expectations by noting that sitting for his rookie season might actually be the best move for Beck’s long-term development. Regardless, Beck is a post-hype sleeper in dynasty superflex leagues with a rising rookie draft ADP.
