The Facts:
The Cardinals, whose head coach has
a very clear idea about a tight end’s priorities, are hosting one of the more prominent available players at the position. According to Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic, Carlson is visiting Arizona on Thursday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Carlson (6-5, 248) caught 32 passes for 344 yards and a touchdown in 2013 for Minnesota. The Vikings
released Carlson on Tuesday. Carlson, who turns 30 in May, has hauled in 177 passes for 1,906 yards and 14 TDs in six NFL seasons. Before joining Minnesota in 2012, Carlson had a four-season stint in Seattle (2008-2011). As PFT's Mike Wilkening suggests, Carlson’s blocking would seem to be of particular interest to Arizona, given HC Bruce Arians’ use of the position over the years.
