Cardinals trade for RB Kenyan Drake

Oct 28, 2019

Compensation update: Arizona is trading a 2020 6th-round pick that could become a 5th-round pick to Miami in exchange for RB Kenyan Drake, per source.

Related players: David Johnson, Chase Edmonds, Mark Walton, Kalen Ballage

Fantasy Impact:

Schefter reported Sunday that Johnson wouldn't be ready for the team's Week 9 game, a short turnaround on Thursday night. With Edmonds (hamstring) now in doubt too, this move makes some sense, but Drake only has three days to get ready in a tough matchup against the 49ers no less. The worst case for Drake owners is he has short term value and Johnson and Edmonds eventually come back. The best case for Drake owners is Johnson's ankle injury is maybe more serious than the team is letting on, and he ends up splitting work with Edmonds, assuming his hamstring injury isn't serious.

Meanwhile in Miami, this seems to open the door for Walton, who had 14 carries last week and looks to be the main back. Ballage could be back on the fantasy radar and did have a TD last week, but only carried three times.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
