Chase Edmonds Fantasy

The Miami Dolphins and free-agent running back Chase Edmonds agreed on a two-year, $12.6 million deal on Monday that includes $6.1 million guaranteed, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Edmonds shared the backfield with James Conner, who was much more productive, in 2021. He finished with 592 rushing yards and two touchdowns on 116 carries (5.1 yards per carry) and added 43 receptions on 53 targets for 311 receiving yards. The Dolphins have Myles Gaskin, Salvon Ahmed and Duke Johnson in their backfield for 2022, but if healthy, Edmonds figures to take over primary ball-carrying duties, which could make him more attractive as an RB2 with his new team.

The Arizona Cardinals will weigh options at running back with James Connerand Chase Edmonds set to hit free agency. The two Cardinals running backs combined for 1,344 rushing yards and 80 receptions for 686 yards and 20 total touchdowns last season. "I think things keep changing philosophically," Cardinals general manager Steve Keim. "I understand that analytically, it tells you that the best backs come as a whole in rounds three through six, but at the same time, when you have one that is a difference-maker or you think is special or brings something to the table like leadership and toughness, it's hard to put a price on those guys." Conner reportedly wants to return to Arizona after producing 752 yards and 15 rushing touchdowns on 202 carries in 2021. He added 37 receptions on 39 targets for 375 receiving yards and another three touchdowns as Arizona's most productive running back. Edmonds was a solid complement to Conner, rushing for 592 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught 43 of 53 targets for 311 yards. Arizona has many essential decisions on offense this offseason, starting with extending quarterback Kyler Murray. It remains to be seen if the Cardinals retain Edmonds or Conner once free agency hits. Stay tuned for further updates.

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds failed to create much noise against the Los Angeles Rams. He rushed eight times for 28 yards in Monday's Wild Card round loss. Edmonds entered the season as the main option, but that quickly changed. James Conner took advantage of his chances and finished with a career-high 15 touchdowns. It doesn't help that Edmonds missed a majority of the second half of the season due to injuries. He rushed a career-high 116 times for 592 yards in 2021. Also, Edmonds hauled in 43-of-53 targets for 311 scoreless yards through the air. He is set to become a free agent this offseason, but doesn't exactly have the stats to back him up. Edmonds certainly has potential, but always seems to end up falling behind someone on the depth chart. Hopefully, he can find the right fit for himself this offseason.
