Scouting report

ARI RB Chase Edmonds - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New York Giants

Chase Edmonds saw some extra work last week with David Johnson questionable going into the game, but was still limited to seven touches on the day, including a pair of receptions. He wound up with 67 total yards from scrimmage and a touchdown, but those seem like best-case numbers that are unlikely to be repeated with a healthy Johnson. Edmonds is a high-quality handcuff, but shouldn’t be viewed as much more than that.

ARI RB Chase Edmonds - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 vs. Atlanta Falcons

Chase Edmonds got eight carries last week and gained 68 yards on the ground. He also scored his first touchdown of the season. Edmonds is a change-of-pace back behind David Johnson, however, and unless something happens to Johnson, Edmonds will have limited value. While he may vulture a touchdown or have an occasional big play, he’s far too risky to trust inserting into fantasy lineups as long as Johnson is active.

ARI RB Chase Edmonds - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Seattle Seahawks

Chase Edmonds has gotten change-of-pace work behind David Johnson throughout the season, including eight carries and two receptions in Week 15 against the Falcons. He’s only averaging 3.6 yards on 54 carries though and has very little fantasy value in the league’s worst offense. Leave him on waivers.

ARI RB Chase Edmonds - Week 4 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 4 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Chase Edmonds had five carries for 10 yards last week in a loss to the Bears. He’s a change-of-pace option for the Cardinals behind David Johnson, but it was good to see him get five carries. He’ll likely continue to be mixed in occasionally, without actually seeing any significant snaps. Johnson’s job is secure and Edmonds should only be owned as a handcuff.

ARI RB Chase Edmonds - 2018 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Per his NFL.com profile, Edmonds is a highly productive runner with a compact frame, good agility, and plus athletic traits. According to Rookie Scouting Portfolio author Matt Waldman, Edmonds is capable of emerging as a Brian Westbrook/Gio Bernard/Jerick McKinnon complement.

Fantasy Downside

As NFL.com suggested, while he flourished against a lower level of competition, Edmonds may find that he's unable to beat NFL defenses with burst alone. The NFL.com profile continued: "Edmonds needs to play with more consistent pace and decisiveness to reach his potential. He has the talent to fit into a committee approach but could be limited to more outside running duties."

2018 Bottom Line

Edmonds earns a direct comparison to Duke Johnson, but Waldman believes the rookie has the frame to earn another 10 pounds and earn Jerick McKinnon comps. He's a change-of-pace back now but could become something more in 2-3 years. Fantasy managers invested in (or planning to invest in) David Johnson should watch to see if Edmonds can emerge as a viable handcuff.
