Chase Edmonds Fantasy

Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury feels that running back Chase Edmonds can be an every-down back in the NFL, and Edmonds will enter training camp this summer as the team's No. 1 back after they let Kenyan Drake walk in free agency and didn't spend a single draft pick at the position. The 25-year-old has shown promise as the backup to David Johnson and Drake in the last three years. "I'm ready to run through a damn wall. I'm really ready to prove myself right," Edmonds said. He carried the ball 97 times for 448 yards and a touchdown while adding 53 catches for 402 yards and four more scores last year. The former fourth-rounder has averaged 4.8 yards per carry in two seasons under Kingsbury, but he hasn't seen consistent work. James Conner will factor in on short-yardage situations and could steal some goal-line looks, but Edmonds definitely has intriguing upside in PPR leagues in this offense.

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds had a quiet game against the Los Angeles Rams to close out the year. Edmonds rushed three times for negative three yards and caught both of his targets for 28 yards. The Cardinals offense struggled as a whole this week as backup quarterback Chris Streveler was in for most of the game following an ankle injury to Kyler Murray (ankle). Edmonds was the team's top pass-catching running back this year. He caught 53 passes for 402 yards and four touchdowns. Unfortunately, the team leaned so heavily on Kenyan Drake with their rushing game that Edmonds wasn't able to provide consistent value throughout the year. Drake is a free agent this year and if he signs elsewhere, Edmonds could be a player to watch going into 2021. He's shown the ability to flourish as a No. 1 back. It's just a question of whether the Cardinals trust him and if he can do it for a full season.

Arizona Cardinals running back Chase Edmonds (hip) is officially active for the team's season finale against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17. Edmonds left the team's Week 16 game early after suffering a hip injury and was limited in practice this past week. He will serve as the team's No. 2 back behind Kenyan Drake this week, though Edmonds will likely be the more active back in the passing game. Edmonds could see his workload increased this week as the team will be without wide receivers Larry Fitzgerald (groin) and Christian Kirk (COVID-19). It's a tough matchup against the Rams, but Edmonds is worth flex consideration in PPR leagues.
