Arizona Cardinals running back Tavien Feaster has been elevated to the active roster ahead of Sunday's contest against Carolina. Feaster's first crack in the NFL comes in the wake of Chase Edmonds (ankle) landing on injured reserve. While James Connor figures to hold down lead back duties for the time being, Feaster will be competing with Eno Benjamin for change of pace/backup reps. An undrafted free agent out of South Carolina, Feaster has been signed to Arizona's practice squad on two different occasions this season, indicating a familiarity with the offense. He isn't on the fantasy radar at this stage, but the Cardinals' backfield will be one to watch.
Tavien Feaster Signs With Cardinals Practice Squad
The Arizona Cardinals have signed running back Tavien Feaster to their practice squad after he was one of their final cuts at camp. With Eno Benjamin (hamstring) dealing with an injury, this is likely purely a depth move for the backfield. Feaster serves as some solid insurance, as James Conner has struggled to stay healthy over the course of his career. A lot will need to unfold before the 23-year-old has any fantasy value, so he can be left on the waiver wire in all formats.
Second-year running backTavien Feaster is looking to secure a spot on the Arizona Cardinals. At Clemson, Feaster had 20 touchdowns for 2,002 yards on 346 carries. Feaster went from signing with the Jaguars to the Giants and the Lions, and he was released by all three teams within a couple of months. On April 15, the Cardinals signed Feaster. He said that he feels good about where he stands. Kyler Murray at quarterback could be beneficial for Feaster, as Murray's threat of running the ball could open up the field for Feaster. He will look to stand out during the preseason games. The Cardinals first preseason game will be Aug. 13 against the Dallas Cowboys.Feaster could make Arizona's final roster with a strong preseason, but even if he does, he'll likely be the No. 4, at best, behind Chase Edmonds, James Conner and Eno Benjamin. That puts him well off the redraft radar.
