Cardinals Beat: Team needs more of RB Chase Edmonds

Oct 12, 2020

Chase Edmonds’ impact on the game justified his post-game interview status.

He touched the ball just eight times on offense, but accounted for 92 total yards, including a 29-yard touchdown run in the first quarter.

“No question,” coach Kliff Kingsbury said after the Cardinals 30-10 victory. “He’s got real juice and we need to find ways to continue to get him the ball.”

Fantasy Impact:

The writer said Kingsbury should take some carries away from Drake and give them to Edmonds. He went on to say through five games, Drake hasn’t looked like the dynamic player who gained 643 yards and rushed for eight touchdowns over the last eight games. He's averaging 3.7 yards a carry, about a yard less than last year. The author added other than loyalty, there's no good reason why Drake touched the ball 19 times (18 on runs) Sunday while Edmonds only eight. Despite the difference in workload, Edmonds accounted for 30 more yards. Drake owners have been flooding our Discuss You Team forum asking about what to do with Drake, and after only an OK performance against the Jets, the best advice may be to pick up Edmonds.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift, WR Keenan Allen both Questionable for Week 12

Scott Bair

D'Andre Swift is questionable to play Vikings with a groin injury, though he was limited Thursday and a full participant on Friday.

Keenan Allen is questionable with an ankle injury. He was limited on Friday, his first day on the participation report.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer, D.J. Moore, Rome Odunze

Fantasy Impact:

Separate reports called Swift "very likely" to play, but this is seemingly a new issue for Allen.

If Keenan were to miss Week 12, it would boost the floor of all pass-catchers, namely Moore, Oduzne, and Cole Kmet. Moore + Odunze would sneak closer to WR2 territory than their low-end WR3 designations they have with a healthy Allen.

Chiefs RB Isiah Pacheco officially Out for Week 12

Charles Omenihu (knee) and Isiah Pacheco (ankle) won’t play on Sunday, per Coach Reid.

“Just taking it day-by-day,” Reid added.

Related Players: Samaje Perine

Fantasy Impact:

It was later reported that Pacheco was "healthy enough" but they're hoping to hold him back one more game with a short week coming up. This makes Hunt a volume-based RB2 in Week 12.

Cowboys WR CeeDee Lamb returns to Friday practice

CeeDee Lamb practiced today, per Cowboys head coach Mike McCarthy. That’s a good sign.

Lamb (back/foot) was limited in a walkthrough on Wednesday and missed practice on Thursday.

Related Players: Jalen Tolbert, KaVontae Turpin, Jalen Brooks, Ryan Flournoy

Fantasy Impact:

Obviously good news for the Cowboys' potential in rolling out an NFL offense in Week 12. The floor is capped for Lamb but we should expect a ton of action funneling his way against the Commanders, which puts him on the WR1/2 fringe.
