Chase Edmonds (hamstring) will not play Thursday, Kenyan Drake to make debut

Oct 30, 2019

Cardinals RB Chase Edmonds has been ruled out of Thursday’s game against the 49ers with a hamstring injury.

Fantasy Impact:

This was the expected move with a short week to prepare. After being acquired by the team on Monday, Kenyan Drake will make his Cardinals debut Thursday night but he faces a stout 49ers defense in his first game with not much time to prepare. And he will be in a timeshare with Alfred Morris. Expectations should be kept somewhat low but Drake did also essentially have another bye week as he was not in Pittsburgh due to the timing of the trade, so he should be fresh. This certainly sounds like a situation to stay clear of, or at the very least, proceed with plenty of caution.

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.
