Cardinals RB David Johnson gets just one carry

Oct 20, 2019

The Cardinals preserved David Johnson on a day they had just two running backs active. D.J. Foster injured his hamstring during Thursday's practice and was ruled out by Friday, leaving Johnson and Chase Edmonds as the only two active backs. If Foster didn't get injured there was a good chance Johnson wouldn't have played this week.

Fantasy Impact:

Edmonds was seen throwing up on the sidelines at one point, and Johnson re-entered the game, but Edmonds insisted on returning. While this wasn't exactly ideal for fantasy owners, the Cards were looking to keep Johnson healthy for the long run. If Edmonds is still out there on your wire, he's going to be worth an add. Johnson owners may also want to think about trading for Edmonds if he's already been snagged.

Seahawks ruled out RB Kenneth Walker III for Thursday night’s game at Chicago.

Related Players: Zach Charbonnet, Kenny McIntosh

Fantasy Impact:

No mention of Charbonnet here, so we can assume he's in a good place to take a massive workload against a Bears defense that ranks 27th in RB aFPA. Fire up Charbs as an RB2.

Things aren't trending well for Hurts, as fantasy managers should be looking for a Championship Week back-up as soon as possible.

Steelers WR George Pickens officially Active for Christmas Day

Chiefs Pro-Bowl DT Chris Jones officially is inactive today vs. the Steelers.

Steelers CB Joey Porter Jr. officially is inactive, WR George Pickens officially active.

Related Players: Calvin Austin III, Van Jefferson, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

The Steelers WR room looks a little more palatable with Pickens in the lineup, but it's still not enough to push Russell Wilson above deep-league SuperFlex territory. Consider Pickens a WR3 for Week 17.
